Avoid Dash. It's a ghost chain (no one uses it) and NOT a privacy chain. It's an abandoned project essentially. The creators already cashed out and are gone.
Also AVOID ZCash. It's a complete and total scam and has fake privacy. The developers are literally Globohomo. It's a giant honeypot.
Litecoin is better if you want a surveillance coin. I use that for basic payments a lot. Cake Wallet just recently added Litecoin after I bugged the shit out of the
guy behind it. The Monero community really like to use Litecoin as an onramp/offramp to Monero.

Cake Wallet is very user friendly and it makes payments with Monero very easy and convenient. The people behind it are trusted in the Monero community.
The market has had a major correction just now so if it DOESN'T turn into a bear market right now might be a great time to get in. I'm hoping the bottom is in right now but no promises.
I only buy Monero at the moment. The best thing about Monero is once you have it you can trade it for other things on
non-KYC exchanges. So you can swap your Monero out for a stablecoin (I like Dai the most currently) when you think the market will crash, then swap back. It's not a taxable event since there's no public records to prove it. Just make SURE you use a non-KYC exchange, ideally with a VPN.
I strongly recommend you watch The Dollar Vigilante videos when they come out. Jeff Berwick talks about Monero at the end of his videos a lot of the time, usually in the last 15 minutes or so.

Do a TON of research into Monero before getting into it. It's not like other cryptos. It's considered the most "dangerous" crypto by the government, since it's the only thing on the planet currently that can literally destroy the 6,000+ year old Satanic banking cult the rules over us. I'm not joking. They have a literal gag order on it, they are TERRIFIED.
