What is the use case of bitcoin? what is the roadmap and promises? they dont have and we are only on speculation. Ethereum is just facing this hatred for no reason and I dont think the space need this, this why we have so many fork in bitcoin because of the ego in the coin governance.

Stablescoins, ICOs, IEOs, SEOs, Defi will be built on Ethereum.
IEO on Ether? Where does that happen? IEO is a tool for an exchange to pump their own token, so it's not Ethereum exclusive.
On top of that, Ethereum competitors are growing rapidly. I'm not sure if ICOs will stay either, considering how scammy they were in 2018. Holding Ethereum is good for short-term, as long as nobody realizes it's supply and crazy premine.

If you fall in love so hard with Ethereum explain me more about it, why?
I mean Bitcoin have value, limited supply etc. Its stable, reliable and future-optimistic.
Then we have ethereum, with hacks, dao rollback, creator deciding to roll back transactions thousands of people or even more because of one hacker, no limited supply, questionable use-cases. I would like to hear im wrong somewhere.
Give me 3 good use cases of Ethereum where Bitcoin can't do them ( im not talking about margin hyper super loan posivite trading negative crazy options)

I'm not OP, but I'm going to give my take on this.
I personally like Ethereum. Do I hold Ether? Currently, no, I don't. But I like it mostly because I find it really really interesting. I'm personally not bullish on their current "dapps" either(probably besides MakerDAO, which I'm not decided with. Again, just interesting). While I currently kinda think that it's not going to be successful, I'm just like watching from the sidelines as their goals are pretty ambitious.
the only thing that i find likable about Ethereum is its initial idea in early days of having a decentralized machine for running smart contracts. otherwise i don't find anything remotely interesting about the project itself. it is a centralized, mutable token that has only have one use case and that is to make the owners rich and be the breeding ground for thousands of scams.
i am always surprised by people like OP who put bitcoin and ethereum together! since they are the exact opposites of each other!!! in bitcoin you have a fully decentralized payment system while in ethereum you have nearly a centralized platform. while bitcoin is immutable and safe, ethereum is not thanks to their rollbacks. even from an investor's point of view ethereum is terrible because of its unlimited supply...

Ethereum is truly the loveable asset next to bitcoin, and it has the perfectly built infrastructure than any other altcoins.
Bitcoin cash seems more fit to stated next to bitcoin despite the market capitalization.
Ethereum is the platform for all of those ICOs, IEOs, SEOs, and DeFi but there are some flaws, like a centralized issue that 61.6% of ETH nodes run in centralized cloud services and almost 25% of eth nodes operated by Jeff Bezos’ behemoth company which make him the biggest stakeholder.
We know that people buying ethereum not because it's usability but they hope more people will buy ether from them at a higher price one day, but the fact is eth and all of altcoins price are following bitcoin steps to rise and fall.

I respect your decision but shouldn't you think on anything else rather 2 crypto as a max out? 
You should extend your portfolio and diversify even further.
There are way more currencies that diserve a second chance.
Take information from https://coinmarketcap.com/ and see what else can you maximize on.

well, i'm using bitcoin in my day-to-day activity and i understand the hype all around ETH... am i both maximalist?

Bitcoin and ethereum became the top coins and which I like. Ethereum always follows the price of bitcoin, the price of bitcoin is always the top accompanied by ethereum. Bitcoin and ethereum technology is increasingly developing so that many are making choices on bitcoin and ethereum. Ethereum's smart contract users are very numerous and become popular compared to bitcoin, this is one of the advantages of etherea.

So if you become a maximalist because you have seen the Rise of an Altcoin, which is Ethereum, what if another coin overtook it? Would you be that maximalist too? If you have thought that you have room to be a maximalist, and there would be another one for you. I'm not sure if you could be easily a maximalist and easily change your ways or something. It defeats the idea of being a maximalist. I'm basing it on this article.
It's stated there
I'm just not sure if you would consider it unethical to your original claim, being a maximalist.
It's stated there
a simple desire to support bitcoin and make it better;
the only correct way to do things and that doing anything else is unethical.

Ethereum is truly the loveable asset next to bitcoin, and it has the perfectly built infrastructure than any other altcoins. Another thing it is the only asset that gave competence to bitcoin with its growth. However high the ethereum can be, the bitcoin will top the market. This will not change in my learning, maybe as technology keeps growing growth and change is unstoppable.
I too love ethereum high than bitcoin, but I believe ethereum is next to bitcoin and it has got dependence over bitcoin. The platform of bitcoin isn't used much, while the smart contracts usage is found much wider and this too adds value to ethereum. Ethereum is best choice for long term profit making.

I love Bitcoin...LOVE it! But when it really comes down to it, I use Ethereum in actual, practical use cases. I recently bought something in USDC...which utilizes Ethereum. Stablescoins, ICOs, IEOs, SEOs, Defi will be built on Ethereum.

I've been in this space since 2014. I have always been a Bitcoin Maximalist. Than 2017 happened, and it was hard not to chase altcoins. After the hype died down, and the dust settled, I realized that there is room to be a BITCOIN/ETHEREUM Maximalist. Every other project is a "me too," or a clone, or redundant, or vaporware. The only two blockchains we need right now are Bitcoin and Ethereum...and we need BOTH! Not just Bitcoin anymore.
I love Bitcoin...LOVE it! But when it really comes down to it, I use Ethereum in actual, practical use cases. I recently bought something in USDC...which utilizes Ethereum. Stablescoins, ICOs, IEOs, SEOs, Defi will be built on Ethereum.
I have fallen in love with Ethereum as hard as Bitcoin, and I see value in both. Ethereum is extremely elegant, and may end up being more important in this space than Bitcoin one day. It is the foundation of the Defi movement.
So there can be a category of people who consider themselves BTC/ETH Maximalists.
