It seems like both the larger cryptocurrency community, as well as the FOSS community both just don’t get it. Cryptocurrency and Open Source are clearly related yet only the Monero community seems to give a shit.
FOSS community is so left-brain washed socialist that they are stuck in the money is evil and bitcoin is climate change. Crypto community is stuck in the no-adversaries mindset, as the SEC declares their products illegal but they use google, cloudflare, telegram, no understanding of any threat.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and any serious cryptocurrency projects all champion FOSS. I dont see your point.
Plenty of open source projects accept monero donations as well.
As with any group of people, some people ars already with it. Some people are against it, and most people aren’t aware.
Yep, awareness and education are the current stumbling blocks. So many coins and projects competing for attention, combined with the averages persons (often justified) skepticism of the crypto space in general make for plenty of work for the evangelists and educators before we get to far greater levels of adoption.
I personally think adoption will come through harsh lessons and adversity before the realization of necessity for what Monero offers follows.
I wish it weren’t so, but that’s how most small ideas and projects that don’t have large state actors and super powerful monied interests behind them compelling or pushing propaganda for adoption gain main stream acceptance and use.
The bulk of the crypto wallets are not open source, including the most popular ones. And the crypto websites themselves use Google, Cloudflare, Telegram, ect
The bulk of any financial provemiders in either crypto or fiat are scams.
If you’re expecting the masses to not be shit, you’re going to be disappointed.
