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.

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?
