Re: Monero XMR ... Why do people fall for the shills and bullshit?
do it yourself and contribute to the project. 
Yes! Here we have it. If the Monero shillsters and bullshitters spent a 10th of their energy in helping Monero with coding or infrastructure then we would all be happy. Instead we are here.
Anything else?
Besides the developers are hard at work, and actually communicate more often with the community then most others. What else can you ask of them?
