Readers please note that I don't have anything against Monero as an open source experiment in crypto-currency. I support their experimentation. I don't like (bordering on hate although I don't allow myself be consumed by hate
) the community of Monero. And I don't support when someone writes that Monero is the only altcoin that is serious or worthy. They have not yet earned that, and if ever they do earn that, they won't need to state it because such truths are self-evident.
There is something foul smell in the community of Monero. I'd rather not try to explain what that smell is, as others have already explored that. Ethereum has its idolizing fanboiz and Monero has its delusion-of-superiority, pack-dog-attacking bagboiz. Something like that....
I am quoting this post as insurance for the future. Why? Because, in the
unlikely event that Monero becomes "the only altcoin that is serious or worthy" those who bought Monero early and held, could become very successful financially and human nature being what it is also become targets of hate on the grounds that "only a few benefited". This is the flip side to the "Monero has its delusion-of-superiority" comment.
