Monero is not a company.
There are many coins that work as companies. You should start working on them whatever you are doing.
Companies dont post wallet address and ask for donations as Monero does for developers. This is how Monero was set 2 years ago and this is how it works. It is not much different as Bitcoin was set 7 years ago.

It doesnt matter for me if monero is a company or not. I talk about naked marketing for the increase of value (isn't this why most are here Wink

).
If we want to have a wide acceptance of monero people have to know that monero is existant and about it's benefits.

Thats why i totally agree to this statement:

The problem is the number of people aware of Monero is still very low and thus the coin is still in infancy state. I am not saying Monero should be marketed to the general public but the community is still very small and in order to grow bigger in terms of market cap the coins need to be purchased and new money poured in Monero.

This is the kind of paragraph that reminds me of a chimpanzee blithely fiddling with the controls of a flight simulator not knowing what the fuck he is doing.

Well then what are you saying? Because it sounds like all you're saying is "people need to buy Monero".

If you want people to "buy Monero" then you need to learn how to speak of its strengths rather than opening with talk of a non-existent problem pertaining to the third largest community on the scene.

It is totally preposterous and dubios to claim that monero needs no marketing.

Beside the fact that marketing was and is already a part of Monero. But it is expendable. I really dont understand why some people here are ignoring totally basic factors and than wonder why we haven't had a price explosion.

Marketing is a key function for success. Most people here are holding monero because they hope its somewhen more valueable as today. To believe monero itself will do this job is simply wrong. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marketing
