Many shitcoins take over xmr one after another just because they are marketed well. Due to lack of proper PR, marketing, official site and so on, people do not really know what xmr, privacy and fungibility are. Once these are fixed, the price will start increase. Even without and before any significant update to xmr code.
So lets go on.
Let the XMR team do the code and we rest may do the marketing. Twice a month at least youtube video. Blogs and posts to the reddit and other such sites. Invent by yourself.
To me this argument is really starting to resemble "When will we get a GUI wallet?" 2.0
Well just think about those shitcoins. They have nothing fuctionality. They have just stunning sites and great marketing.
And that is enough for many people. They invest.
I agree , i am full in XMR and hodl for long time ... but i am scared that without marketing XMR will get on the background , even if the tech is superior. If nobody knows about it , u can have the best tech but people will still be not convinced without hearing about it... thats just my honest opinion , it will not change my mind on selling all my XMR , i am in from the early days but as crypto gets more and more attention in the media , we ( xmr ) should deffinitly get more attention then those shitcoins ...
