Monero is what everyone used to think bitcoin was.

Now that people are starting to realize what bitcoin actually is, and all the lies and misinformation are falling away, the world is gearing up to pounce on it and fully integrate it into society. People are rapidly realizing that it really is the internet of money.

Monero will still have it's place, but only as the dark money network.

I've actually become increasingly worried that Monero is at pretty significant risk of a nation state 51% mining attack, since it mines with generic CPUs. A government could rent out an AWS fleet to attack the network and if not kill it, at least add a lot of friction via this kind of DDOSing that temporarily blocks people and breaks interest, like they do with Tor services today.
