XMR can't lose because anonymity and fungibility is the the raison d'etre of cryptocurrency. People just haven't realized it yet.
there is no doubt XMR has the best Tech in a trustless setup ATM, but sometimes that is not enough. Now that the gui is available all these whales need to pony up and get the infrastructure going. I wish I wasn't laid up, Ive had a great Idea and bought a Domain so long ago and just havn't had the drive to get it done.
Before anyone jumps in and says but everything gets funded, thats not what I mean at all.
