No. It's not.
Bitcoin was the only one of it's kind. It invented cryptocurrency. Monero is not inventing cryptocurrency for the first time - it's competing on a field of dozens of altcoins & several "anon coins"
Here's a FUD thread I created for it. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=783471.40
I agree XMR is the only interesting thing around right now. But to state that it's "like investing in bitcoin in 2010" could just as easily be said for any altcoin.
It DOES have it's major pro's - but don't be blind.
*Disclaimer. I'm a proud XMR owner & the only alt I care about outside of BTC (& LTC a little)
I suppose what I mean by that statement is that the risk involved in buying XMR right now is similar to buying BTC when it was $1. It could very well go to zero but the potential reward in my opinion is much greater than buying any other coin - crypto long term (1-4 years).
