I've gathered a few insights from my experience in the Monero community over the years:

  • Nobody cares until there’s pressure.
  • Price always matters, but freedom more.
  • Scammers are everywhere like cookies on clearnet.
  • Everyone points fingers, but only a few take action.
  • Genuine donations exist and are growing stronger every day.
  • Privacy is crucial because it is a necessary pillar of freedom.
  • If you don't host, you're giving away your data.
  • OPSEC is everything in a controlled digital age.
  • It's better to avoid going mainstream; the underground will prevail and set future trends.
  • It's OK to use drugs and/or own guns.
  • It's OK to be misunderstood and to ask questions—far better than remaining ignorant.
  • It's OK to change our mind when necessary. Perhaps, always.
  • We are in a silent war about our freedom and we are warriors, not soldiers.
  • Bitcoin is what Monero really is.

Feel free to add anything if you'd like. It's just a reminder about what makes us antifragile.

The project is run by volunteers

Of course and that's do the magic. Meanwhile, I was talking about privacy, control and more adoption.

probably meant "monero is what bitcoin was meant to be"

Yep, from another perspective and sounds great! But on my records Bitcoin is a concept from Satoshi original idea that currently lives on Monero.

A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System

Satoshi Bitcoin is Monero, not current Blockstream Bitcoin

Half of these bullet points are just observations about humanity
