Without a doubt, Monero is a good investment for the future. Compared to new, uncertain coins, of course investing in Monero will be safer.
If you compare to new coins, of course Monero is better.
But don't underestimate in several potential new coins, maybe they will overtake monero at the coming years.
We should have own research to choose the coins than we want to invest.
I also join IDO and ICO since last year, and I get more profit from those.
It depends on your consideration and experience.
