Nembers, come on! There's a whole bunch of guys out there constantly bashing our new economy movement!

I call all Nemsters to unite and defend this movement we so truthfully believe in, don't let the bad words rule the general public. There is some dark and hateful folks lurking around who's only hope is to see Nem suffering. Nembers unite for a wonderful future! For fairness and for equality, for a better world through cryptocurrency.

No, I prefer not going around trolling other coins thread.

If you want to discuss about NEM, the right place is this topic or better http://forum.nemcoin.com/

Obviously people in Ethereum thread say Ethereum is the best crypto. If you are not interested in Ethereum why do you go there?

Can't we just be respectful of each other?

I think it's important to keep things positive. It's usually better to simply do what is right yourself without judging others.

Agreed. There is no point in calling others out, or trying to correct others' behavior. Just be the example for the community that you feel you should be and others will follow. We have so many outstanding, positive members in this community who speak on behalf of NEM. I personally respect all cryptocurrencies as a disruptive technology; I just happen to have chosen NEM to stand behind at this point in cryptocurrency's history. I owe no allegiance to anyone because this is not some sort of factional conflict we are involved in here. Really the only conflict at all is crypto vs. the establishment, and even then I feel like we will most likely be living in harmony with fiat for quite some time until cryptocurrency becomes the norm.

So anyway, my point is that for every person who treats a cryptocurrency like their own personal movement that must, by definition, be at conflict with all others, there are people like myself and many others in this community who simply want cryptocurrency as a whole to succeed because we know that it is a disruptive technology that can change the world for the better.

I really want the NEM community to be the most friendly cryptocurrency community on the Internet, and I really do think we have the capability to be just that as long as we have the right leadership in place. If we want mass adoption of NEM, we need for the community to be as friendly as possible to newcomers because the vast majority of regular people are immediately turned off by petty bickering and in-fighting. It makes the community and cryptocurrency as a whole seem like a childish endeavor between people with their own political and social agendas, and that is not what cryptocurrency should be about. Cryptocurrency is about uniting the people and giving power back to us so that we can all have better lives, hopefully free from the stress and turmoil that financial woes bring to so many in the world today.

So please, the only thing I request of all of you is to just think about the things you say before you say them. It's such an easy thing to be hurtful on the Internet without realizing it, because you are simply typing into a void, but there are actual human beings on the other side of that monitor who are reading the words you type. Let's be respectful of everyone who wishes to join our community.
