Monero is the only most secure, most private, most anonymous cryptocoin in the world. A bit large blockchain but you can't have everything(btw multiple light wallets impls. are coming and you already has the possibility to use remote nodes if you want instant usability). The security, privacy, stability and anonymity was the main reason for the cryptoworld to even exists. Bitcoin at its beginning was praised and endorsed by the people because they thought and it was advertised as super duper secure, private and anon and in the same time super fast and super cheap. It turned out it is none of them. Even the last two "hopes" are very inaccurate lately. Now you have Monero which actually is the only one coin that really combines these qualities and the community somehow forgets about it.  I feel like the cryptoworld now is run by speculations, corporations, pump/dump groups, PRs and bribes.  Where did the technical aspect go?  Monero has dozens active developers but even the Bytecoin from time to time gets pumped to Monero cap - wtf really? - bytecoin devs haven't had anything written on the code in the last year - only the patch that covers the cryptonote vulnerability found by the Monero devs. The market logic is simply laughable. And in order for this unique coin Monero to have more adoption the cryptocommunity really has to take out its head from the hole and stop turning away from the main crypto principles.
