It would be great if XBT 1 august hassle would make some investors to find XMR as a safe coin.
I do think there's a good chance that that will happen, as it seems that Litecoin and Monero are both stable and at a decent price; so they'd make a good hedge against volatility.
I agree with this. A few weeks ago I took out (to my surprise) my first real position in Litecoin as I see it as having a new potential for use cases it did not have for years.
I did not, however reduce my tiny XMR position.
