Crypto-agnostic-members of this organization believe that Bitcoin has a place or even no place in the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem. Although they may think that some cryptocurrencies are better or worse than others, they believe that most cryptocurrencies are inherently good because they provide an alternative to the existing monetary system. Most notably, they assume that by providing different feature sets or focusing on different use cases, cryptocurrencies are acting as a new type of programmatic currency that competes with Bitcoin. Therefore, they believe that the crypto market can not only provide evidence for this claim, but also arbitrate the validity of the claims made by competitors.
