You may be completely right but a few points you missed. XVG has a few upcoming releases that are quite interesting which include an i2p and tor android wallet, additional security features and smart contracts. Also its a multi algorithmic coin which ends up making it quite impossible to 51pct it. I've got no problems with Monero other than it recently lost its use case (alphabay) and there are many scheduled forks upcoming to fix problems with its RingCT protocol. XVG and XMR are the two top privacy centric coins in terms of value I would say. Dash is great too with its secondary network providing true value compared to other coins. Thanks for your thoughts and excited to discuss other projects in the near future.

Hardly anyone used XMR at AlphaBay. If anything, recent events are likely to drive a surge in the use of XMR in that particular sector of the crypto-economy. Also, Monero doesn't have forks scheduled to fix problems. Monero has hard forks scheduled twice a year regardless of whether there are features being added/fixed that require it. It's actually a very intelligent decision, because when debating new features, the narrative turns from "Is this upgrade worth the risk of a hard fork?" to "Is this upgrade needed based on its merits?"
Edit: I will look more into XVG. FWIW, what you mention about XVG and I2P make me think of Monero next big upgrade. It's called Kovri - it's an I2P router/node, that will be used for the broadcast and relay of transactions. Blocks will still be relayed normally, but transactions will be broadcast to the network over I2P, hiding any possible IP address info of nodes broadcasting transactions.
