To me, Monero is clearly the best.
Sorry but Monero doesn't have added functionality like Deepvault found in DeepOnion. And DeepOnion is building on their crypto creating smart contracts (Something Monero doesn't have). This speaks to the strength of ongoing development taking place in DeepOnion as compared to Monero.
For me there is no comparison, DeepOnion does everything Monero does.... Only better!
That is a false argument. Anyone with deep pockets could buy just about any of the Cryptos givrn their small market capitalizations and accumulate them to dump them. I would assume that anyone holding such a large amount from the beginning is someone who either developed or believed in the crypto very, very early on. Even Charlie Lee told everyone in his tweets that he slowly released his litecoin over a longer time (as opposed to dumping all at once) on gdax as not to affect the price.
