I don't disagree, but I have assumed the context here is basically Bitcoin investors "branching out" into some altcoins. One could make a somewhat valid criticism that this context is changing to small degree, the best examples being Ripple and Ethereum and maybe Dogecoin, where they are actively trying to source users and investors from outside the Bitcoin community (BitShares to an extent as well).

There'll be a new monero investments website soon as well, which presents the investment case in XMR without basing it on BTC, and also lists the options to buy it directly with fiat.

Yes, there will be. Monero will be $300k at the end of this year. :-) Do not forget to take your meds.

He can't say I didn't warn him not to make such pronouncements (did he really call for $300K price for Monero  Huh I doubt it.) and handhold investors in HODLing during the downturn.

They need a market case. Maybe the game coin idea (but not understanding why game players want an anonymous coin). Maybe the idea that when the first fungibility violations hit the newswire, then investors will start flooding in (but I argue against TPTB shooting themselves in the foot). Maybe investors wanting their gains to be anonymous given the war on cash coming (just seems like most investors are complacent on this point at this time).
