Man Am I stupid, just bought another BTC's worth.

It should be criminal to be that stupid!

Criminal like the Bytecoin gang? I wonder how their other criminal operations are running...
Well, the
market does not agree with you.
Bytecoin has a
larger market share than Monero, now. Monero had a good run with all the hype, shills and a couple of vocal developers but it is over now.
Like it or not, Bytecoin is the
original cryptonote coin. It has active developers who work closely with the cryptonote team and a strong community. If Monero had not used the mutually assured destruction tactics from the start I am sure it would have had a place in the cryptonote family. However they burned their bridges by being so aggressive and annoying.
