Let's see if the price level will hold. I don't see why XMR can't be valued so high. In the end it's a good coin with lots of pros IMHO.
Way better the DASH in terms of privacy
With all due respect Dash is not a one trick pony, the privacy is only part of DASH, while Monero is primarily focused on privacy, and XMR those so at the cost of transparancy of the blockchain, a non-transparant blockchain, destroys the trust-less nature of a blockchain, in case of monero it means that it possible that coins can be printed out of thin air and this is not some FUD, it proven that such a bug in fact has been found, and there is no knowing there are more.
proof here:
https://getmonero.org/2017/05/17/disclosure-of-a-major-bug-in-cryptonote-based-currencies.html I only wanted to say that, considering also how Darkcoin (DRK) then changed in DASH was born, I prefer Monero for many different things. The first and foremost is the privacy that XMR seems to guarantee.
The only pain paint is maybe the lack of good mobile wallets.
