In my eyes XMR

Since you are a newbie I should write why

- Sophisticated Coin
- Strong community
- Good Ecosystem (things can be bought with it directly -> DNM)
- Reliable developers
- Very good features implemented (soon: Kovri, RingCT)
- It is very cheap at the moment.

You could try to wait if the price will hit something 0.005x but if you are looking for a coin with profit in the medium/long run, buy XMR now.

Edit:

I want to add something. BTC will crash for sure. It rises way to fast. Another panic sell of BTC will occur soon.
Conclusion: DNM is a Billion Dollar market mostly with escrow. Vendors will -like always in the past- complain about losing money every day.(That time with BTC, before it was XMR)
Meanwhile XMR will rise in price (for sure). That will just help to make a transition from BTC to XMR.
-> Tandem effect.
