I think the major way we could work to improve the bitcoin community is by actually having community spirit, treating each other as comrades rather than competition. Helping to build each other up, rather than knocking each other down. Right now the community is quite hostile, new coins actively try to discredit old ones, and vice-versa, there is no real attempt to build a better coin for the sake of the future, but instead appears to be done only for maximum profit. This is no Satoshi's vision.

You have actually hit the bulls-eye. This is I think the main bitcoin community (the forum), yet what I see is some flaming, hostility, discredit, bullying a divided community which I think counter-productive.
I profoundly agree. Nowadays, the bitcoin community has been focusing on acquiring wealth to the extent that it actually affects the community in a bad light due to competition and hostility rather than building and supporting each other. The existence of new coins in the market tend to create a stigma to the community due to the recent scams and robberies made to the people.
Change is something that cannot be forced upon people as it requires self-inspiration and realization in order to work. We tend to focus on the big picture of earning large amounts of cash or having your own business but we forget to LOOK in the small picture, which is us.
The biggest improvement that I would want in Bitcoin community is the elimination of spammers and cheaters once and for all as they are sabotaging the success of such a wonderful technology. Also, people should stop spreading and listening fake news regarding crypto market.
Though it may sound good, I see it as something that is very idealistic. We strive for a perfect world wherein corruption and violence were to be eliminated but these are inevitable for us to experience. The existence of cheaters and spammers reflect our society and the world we live in. Though there may be no perfect system, a strict or regulated form of rules may do the trick but this may cause dismay in acquiring new investors as they may be disheartened.
