On June 5th, PANews reported that Michael Saylor, founder and executive chairman of the Bitcoin financial firm Strategy, published an article on the X platform stating that the Bitcoin ecosystem is gradually diverging into four core ideologies: Bitcoin Maximalists, Bitcoin Capitalists, Bitcoin Technologists, and Bitcoin Fundamentalists. Maximalists emphasize Bitcoin as the dominant global digital currency network; Capitalists advocate for Bitcoin's deep integration into banking, corporate, and capital markets; Technologists support cautious protocol upgrades to improve scalability, security, and functionality; and Fundamentalists focus on self-custody, node operation, decentralization, and protocol immutability.

Saylor believes that the four principles correspond to the four forces of "belief, adoption, innovation, and protection." Bitcoin's future should not be a choice between purity and adoption, or innovation and stability, but rather a balance achieved through "disciplined expansion": maintaining the stability and decentralization of the underlying protocol while placing most innovation on second-layer networks, custody, credit, and capital market infrastructure.
