If you are really a "bagholder" you're a pretty dumb one.
1. There are multiple GUI wallets, and have been since a few months after launch. At least 5-6. If people really cared about that, they would catch on more, but they don't, because casual users are usually happy with a web wallet (why blockchain.info and coinbase are the most popular BTC wallets) and most of the more serious users are happy with CLI. Currently only
one GUI is still maintained, I think, mostly due to lack of interest, but some of the others may still work.
2. You don't "need a shitload of RAM" since the database version, released January 1, 2016 (with three updates since), so almost six months now. It runs fine on Raspberry Pi 1A+ and other tiny computers (I don't think anyone has tried the Pi Zero). I've also seen screen shots showing it run in like 50 MB or less on a Mac.
What's Monero's problem? None at all really, there are just a lot of shitcoin scammers and their sock puppets (most of the posts on this thread probably, and the other one run by one of those scammers where my replies are selectively deleted) who hate us, and that's a sign we're doing something right.
