There are coins more promising for investment, for example ETH.
It is better to invest in ETH and get a good profit by the end of the year than investing in Monero and hoping that the price will rise.
Of course, there are better coins than Monero, but Monero is not the worst ever coin and could be a good investment. It's a good product with a good team. It's been in top 10 coins since a long time.
