I'm not against it, but I heard monero had a reorg attack recently, which makes buying it risky.

I think monero has a lot of good people in it, with both the right ideals and the right techy brains. Maybe you're right. I'd prefer for those guys to commit that brainpower and idealism to ensuring bitcoin succeeds. If bitcoin doesn't succeed, and we have to jump ship to the next hopeful project, then that pattern probably just never ends.
