One of the reasons Zcash has had more success than $XMR in some areas is the community. They support builders and developers. When someone ships a small update, launches a new project, or builds something useful, the community works together to amplify it and help it grow. In Monero, it sometimes feels like the opposite. The same 2–3 people are running similar AI-generated swap platforms, while everyone else is quick to call each other or every new project a scam. Competitors attack competitors. Builders fight for attention. Too much energy goes into ads, swaps, and figuring out how to extract money from the community. Not enough goes into building. We need a stronger culture of building, supporting, testing, and promoting good work. If someone is building something useful for Monero, help them. Don't think, “People might stop using my exchange or swap and switch to this one, so I'll FUD it.” Instead, think, “How can I improve my project and make it more useful for the Monero community?” Compete by building something better, not by tearing others down.
