Altcoins have been around since 2013. I played with quite a few that year. When Ethereum launched, I was an insider in the right place at the right time, who could be sitting on $Billion$ right now if I didn't have my "high & mighty" bitcoin maximalist attitude. I'm not sorry.
That attitude exists, in all of the old school bitcoiners, to do exactly one thing: To protect bitcoin's censorship resistance. Something no altcoin or stablecoin will ever have. It served us very, very well during the blocksize war.
Just because you don't value censorship resistance (which is, let's face it, the only thing that keeps governments from stopping a competitor) doesn't mean bitcoiners don't. We're still laser focused on that task.
Calling bitcoin's utility "Speculative" makes you look like a state-loving bootlicker.
