Looking at the Cryptocurrency as a whole, it become apparent that the only crypto community that care about building real economy is Bitcoin and Monero. Basically one of the OG of the cryptocurrencies and they have been around for decades at this point. Yet even though we have proven strong history, the current state of the monero economy is left to be undesired.
There are many reason why despite how long Monero has existed, the economy still a niche among niche in the internet compared to the traditional payment processor in the clearnet. One of the big reason is the fact that Monero technology is proven to be tough nut to crack for law enforcement. The ring ct technology and the sender and receiver being obscured make sure to give a headache to people that want to track it and reveal the transaction which led to Monero being banished from most exchange. Another infamous reason that slow the adoption progress of Monero is the rampant of scammers going around in the community that hurt genuine people that want to participate in real monero economy. Also because of the untraceable nature of monero it become near impossible to track these scammers without setting up heavy countermeasure.
But looking at another lens, as weird as it sound, a scammer going around in the economy is a good sign. It is a sign that something has value. The only treasure that safe from thieves are worthless dirt. With this understanding in mind it become easy to figure how to thrive in the Monero economy. No matter what you wanna sell if you already figured out how the market move and the advantage that you can exploit, there is no market that won't accept your trade.
So what value do I or you posses? something that can beat the competition?
That value that you and you alone posses is trust. That is the most valuable commodity in the Monero community or should I say economy in general. The rampant thieves on the market give you the edge among the competition. Let them be liars, they won't survive for long. Their bread will only last for a night.
