It feels like most on here in Nostr falls into one of these categories. Anti-Monero (Know about Monero, and hate it) Monero-ignorant (Don't know about, or understand Monero) Monero-Tolerant (People who don't prefer, or use Monero but tolerate it) Monero-Curious (people who are pro-btc but are open to using Monero) Monero-Hybridist (Monero people that also use Bitcoin) Monero-Maxis (Monero only)

For example (please no debate, just using as an example): nostr:nprofile1qqs0nt9skq6vfsgh06v979rrnuchau87mmnk2lqxpv2xaeusqfp30mqpz3mhxue69uhkzmr8duh82arcduhx7mn99uq3wamnwvaz7tmzd96xxmmfdejhytnnda3kjctv9uq72urpnostr:nprofile1qqsftzm4fgwnmed4ajs0uvwj642lg5fjt7zf32pa5xvhkl7dtsu73rqpzamhxue69uhkxun9v968ytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuegpzamhxue69uhkg6tjv43hgmmj0yh8jctzw5hx6eg4396kw would be considered Anti-Monero. nostr:nprofile1qqsg4mwgw9sgr8jfpjcpv2ktmry6ymteuc7mwn6mrdje8yqjjf987pgpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqz9thwden5te0dp5hxapwdehhxarj9ekxzmny6tyrrrnostr:nprofile1qqs0wncptxhkqgv472ys63avcxuumpm5zad0ew50vgu784qyz003awgpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6ur4vgh8wetvd3hhyer9wghxuet5nv7pqa would be considered Monero tolerant. @caleb @_ would be considered Monero curious. @Ape Mithrandir would be considered a Monero hybridist. @Saberhagen The Nameless would be considered a Monero Maxi. There's plenty of others as examples but this is just a broad categorization, it could also be a spectrum too maybe πŸ€”. Gives a quick list for those who want a starting point of who to follow, and who to avoid.
I'm strongly a Monero guy but I wouldn't call myself a Monero maxi πŸ˜… (I guess it depends what you mean by maxi) more like a a maxi of the Monero spirit where ever it emerges. I originally started as a Bitcoin user and I'm still one. Theres still a subset of Bitcoiners with that same spirit. I think a handful of other coins are promising too. There really are no others that compete as a complete package imo (default privacy, critical self-examination and relentless improvement, the uncompromising ethos of the Monero community, etc). Without a doubt there are cryptocurrencies that have their own specific advantages over Monero though. Monero is also by far the most used privacy coin. There's not even a close contender.
