[unsupported speculation, wild imaginings, paranoid delusions]
Sorry OP you are doing it wrong, ^that^ is not how you debunk a coin.
This is how you debunk a coin:
http://prestonbyrne.com/2014/08/17/dont-walk-away-run/We haven't even got the green light to begin advertising Monero. The team wants to wait until the GUI and DB are done-ish so you don't need tons of RAM/skillz to use XMR.
Except for the logo, XMR raises funds exclusively to help implement key features, not for marketing.
What you are hearing and complaining/hallucinating/freaking out about is called 'word-of-mouth' which is an unpaid, decentralized form of non-commercial communication.
People are naturally talkative about Monero because it is the first great advancement beyond Bitcoin, moving us from radical transparency to radical privacy.
Many old-timers recognize the excitement around the project because they experienced it before, back when BTC broke the $10 barrier many moons ago...
