I also went and put a little money into Monero. I've been reading about it and it seems to be the criminals choice of currency due to its complete anonymity. I'm thinking that once people start realizing a lot of these cryptocurrencies aren't anonymous they would be attracted to Moneros concept. ESPECIALLY the Chinese who seem to be driving a lot of the price as they smuggle money out of the country, and BTC is getting more and more "regulated" over there.
It's a real long term hold so who knows.
