On the edge of becoming a Bitcoin Maximalist

I have previously shown Bitcoin maximalists a lot of hostility. But now, I am slowly starting to realise that everything is really a shitcoin. Bitcoin is starting to feel like the only cryptocurrency that matters.

I went from only altcoins, to altcoin futures, to Bitcoin + altcoins, to now thinking of becoming only Bitcoin. I am currently in the midst of reading “The Bitcoin Standard”.

I need some opinions and advice from all of you. What is it that makes Bitcoin so special? Where do you think the future of Bitcoin will go, and how can I contribute to Bitcoin? What are the ways to earn Bitcoin other than buying it?

I’m also interested in the Bitcoin industry. Are there businesses that make money off of securing the Bitcoin network (not just old fashioned miners, but perhaps maybe use other better techniques to the secure the network).

I have so many questions. Would love some answers. Thanks!

EDIT: I also want to look into Bitcoin market-making using AI after I fully understand the uses and properties of Bitcoin, as well as the network and how it was built. If anyone has any advice on this, that would be appreciated.
