I'm just getting back into Crypto, I could be wrong but the Monero community seems to have an unhealthy and ungrounded amount of faith in the coin that's all.
And other crypto communities don't?

Here's a hint: Read about Hidden Champions. All of them have one basic thing in common -> specialisation.
Monero specializes on one simple (complex) thing: Being eCash. Nothing more, nothing less. And it works already remarkably well.
Maybe the amount of faith people put in XMR is actually a healthy and grounded sign of awareness.
