Why should I invest in this coin, what makes it better than other coins?
If you are a sociopathic greedy or selfish person, you should not invest in this coin. If you are too wealthy to be a good steward of the earth's resources, you should not invest in this coin. Short-term speculators should look elsewhere, because a PoW/PoS coin like XC will offer better gains when PoW ends. XMR isn't a good vehicle for pump and dump. Moreover there are now several people who seek to build XMR by market-making, which means volatility is low, reducing short-term speculation gains.
If you are respectful of the freedom of others, careful to use wealth constructively, rather than in hedonistic consumption (except for a relatively small proportion appropriate to the enjoyment of prosperity) then I would encourage you to invest heavily, if you wish to transact privately and/or protect wealth and your life and family from extortion of any kind. It is currently the best coin for that purpose: The underlying protocol is the best extant (in my opinion the only one worth trusting today), and among the coins using that protocol it has the best chance of long-term success, due to responsible active development, and dispersion factors.
Regarding dispersion factors, I am convinced that the aggressive emission schedule will be beneficial to dispersion, and thus accelerate the development of a viable XMR economy, relative to the history of bitcoin. Miners who want to flip would prefer early prices to be higher, but that's illusory: Half the coins at twice the price means no benefit. Only the competitiveness of mining and the efficiency of your hardware will impact mining profits.
