ETC is the best choice to have right now if you ask me, we are going to see the full potential of it very soon. About XMR, I don't think so that the investment would be very attractive.
by the time this topic was created XMR was the hot coin of the day and there were lots of profit opportunities there to take advantage of. and i actually still think that XMR will rise again in the future when this pump is done and over and after a period of silence.
