Which community?

Ethereum. Admittedly there's a dark side of scammy ICOs, but there's also lots of open source coding and idealists trying to change the world.

I don't think Ethereum is the only cryptocurrency community like this, it's just the one I'm involved in.

One of the best things about Ethereum is how Vitalik focuses mostly on important technical solutions to difficult problems, notably scaling the network to millions/billions of tx/s - crucial to Ethereum's future success. He rises above the noise, it's really impressive given his young age.

> idealists

> hard fork because people didn't want to honor smart contract

Does not compute.

Just because some people have different ideals to yourself doesn't make them any less idealistic.

Honoring a contract you got into is not idealistic?

I’m not OP, but I like Monero. However any question like this is likely to get brigaded with everyone’s favorite bag to hold^W^W^W currency.

Monero's cool too. Probably most projects that are reasonably young and successful, and have something new and different about them.
