Cottonwood Park, the largest public gathering place in Hildale, Utah, nestles in the midst of a surreally gorgeous landscape. Rugged cliffs and stunning canyons dramatically rear and stretch in the distance, framed against a crystal blue sky. Newcomers to the area never fail to remark on the vista, to which the people who see it every day simply nod with pride. There’s something about the land here, the locals say; something that calls them back when they leave. The park is crowded this afternoon. The smell of fresh turf fills the air, which is whipped into a chilling wind by early spring, despite the sun. Residents of Hildale and its sister town across the state line, Colorado City (the two towns are collectively known as Short Creek) have worked all day to replace the barren, dusty ground with a thick layer of grass and soil, but only about a quarter of the park has been completed. There’s still plenty of work to be done.

Jay Smith Jimmy Song and the Maximalists may sound like a Fifties rock ‘n’ roll band, but they’re actually a highly influential group of blockchain experts. Their view - if you believe them - will make you sell every cryptocurrency you own bar Bitcoin. You see, Song believes there is no point investing in anything but Bitcoin, the granddaddy of cryptos, because it will be the only one to survive. He and many other so-called “Bitcoin maximalists” say that, rather than waste money developing rivals, we may as well just invest in making Bitcoin faster and better, with more services built on top.
