i would like a direct answer to this please ...
Mate, I think you may got this cryptoNote stuff all wrong. It wasn't invented to make you more money or something, it's point should be to make some aspects of life more convenient and fluid for all. One does not necessary wont the wife to count every satoshy he spends at a local bar
As long as you and I, and anyone else for that matter, cannot name all possible use of XMR and BBR they are not necessary in competition but they are kinda exploring a niches in the Darwinian process. Don't have to mention how them duckys have started to define its niche. At the end, its communities are rather complementary right now, it is only naturalthat they will find somewhat different uses. Devs are helping each other when things go rough and that is what it matters, and that you seem to declare you wish for. If you paint world black and whihte, as you may wish to appear, you neglect creativity that can and will happen. I'm saying you do not have to make money aggressively. There should be tipping point of it with respect of good taste.
You actually do make xmr looks bad, ppl like you make all this forum look bad. But back to the point, it is good that the projects are different and there is nothing to spread a FUD about. It is all normal, just relax mate. I'm sure that you'll get your investment back with profit, or whatever floats your boat, if you do not wont it too hard
In few years time kids are gonna code CN probably better than addults anyways
