You should invest in Monero because all the ethereum investors I know are moving to Monero and that gets me curious and think something good could come Monero's way in 2017
This is quite true. It may be at the end best coin in this year i mean, but others are close to.
My opinion is Litecoin. Why? Litecoin has development, solid stable and secure chain, etc. No, I am not a litecoin bagholder nor am i attempting to pump the coin here. I was accused of that last year when i held no litecoins. I do feel sorry for the people who invested at it's peak, no one expected that nor had they planned on that...
Litecoin has last chance to grow with segwit implementation i dont have anything against it but this is my opinion, like you mentioned in rest of quite in statement 1 dont trust anyone here do you own research.
