I rather say "Monero" even if I dislike this coin and the community for various reasons. I need to agree that the Monero role in the wide crypto landscape is quite unique at least for now.
There are more idealistic people in the community that technical. It is hard to discus technical blockchain things: consensus, state, contracts, zkp and how those could be useful for the further improvements of the protocol and the ecosystem. The development is slow as the result with a lack of community vision about the future of the protocol. The situation is slowly changes as the coin gains more popularity.
