# Do You Believe 100% in One Blockchain? Free Your Mind Today! #

Everyday across our majestic Crypto Universe I see tribes of Devs, Users and Investors claiming that their chosen Blockchain is the best. These tribes flex their prowess by demeaning and tearing down the other tribes Blockchain. I understand humans have a history of tribalism that reaches back to our humble beginnings. I also understand that this path also leads to destructive behavior.

## I am so jaded by all of this talk! ##

No, I am not a developer. I am just a simple guy who loves the possibility of what Blockchain can do for humanity. Except for Ripple, I don't believe they should be included in our Crypto space.

- I am no Bitcoin Maximalist. 
- I don't think Steem is the shiniest Blockchain in the space. 
- Ethereum is not the only path.
- EOS is not the Blockchain savior.
- I did not drink the Tron Kool-Aid.

## "The Yellow Brick Road in Crypto Leads in Many Directions. Blockchain Adoption Will Come in Many Forms." - Randy Hilarski ##

So I implore you to keep an open mind and look at other possibilities. Just because you are a Developer on a specific project does not make you somehow superior to those who work on other projects. If you invest your hard earned money into a project and you are hoping for future riches it does not mean you have to attack others. 

## Being Crypto Agnostic Keeps Me Sane. ##

Making friends across the Crypto space allows me to see the scope of what we are doing. I have friends in many projects and whenever someone starts talking smack about other projects I try to shift the conversation. 

I still have opinions and I will still express them if I am involved in a project. A few times I found myself pulled into internal strife within projects (Steem) and I quickly shifted my focus. Staying happy is the ultimate goal and arguing across the internet with people I will likely never meet is an exercise in futility.

## "Can't We All Just Get Along" - Rodney King. ##

I try to keep an open mind but it is easy to get sucked in to believe coin is the savior we are waiting for. 

Xrp and Tron I dont like because of the community (one reason) others I like because of the community.

Halo and Steem are some coins I have high hopes for example

But if any coin is conquering a new space it is a win for the whole blockchain space. Even for example walton and Vet doing similar things if they each bring new partners into the space it is a win.

What we will have in 20 years no one can say. As much as probably not many people could see how the internet will change the world

100% agree, but I also take it one step further.

Diversify your blockchain portfolio as well as your fiat portfolio.  There's no reason why you should have one or the other.  Have both.

For sure, diversifying is by far the best strategy although I would be much wealthier if I went all in on Steem back in the day.

Interesting, that you mention that steem to be the bright shining blockchain from the others. Do you think steem can survive if people like Ned will retain so much power of the network. A lot of other high rep guys think othewise?

when you mean those tribal fight based on opinions (which are like xxxxxxxx because every one has one) then this is a waste of time. Because like in soccer or football: in the end you will see which one is the better team, simply put your money where your mouth is.

But why comparing EOS to Ethereum at all? Both have nothing in comon despide the fact, that people use the fantasy word "Blockchain" (which isnt even mentioned in the white paper...because it does make no sense) to describe them. 

Or for example above in the comment it is mentioned, that one should diversify ... which is by the very definition of diversification not possible in a highly correlated asset class. Because diversification is a strategy to reduce volatility of the whole portfolio and refers to allocation into uncorrelated asset classes. Those are facts and discussing respectfull is not fighting

Agreed, no reason to be all for one chain. I love BTC and it will always be king but I believe in other projects as well. Since they all seem to move in conjunction with each other, we should simply hope for crypto to succeed as a whole.

>I am no Bitcoin Maximalist.

As of today, neither am I...Praise God!...how freeing...lol... 

I actually sold some to buy shares in a couple of stable coins...XRP and USDT specifically...anything to jazz things up a bit. BTC has been bouncing in a similar space for too long...makes me want to say 'do some....thing....'lol

Peace.
