With the amount of resources available for Verge, it is just a matter of time until more people know what Verge stands for.
It's not about just about profit - short term profit is usually harder achieve and usually lower than long term.
If you bought at 1-2 sats and held, you most likely would have been better off - two ways:
1/ Bitcoin was a lower price
2/ Your Verge would have increased 10 fold.
Repeat this with any price.
Longterm:
Bitcoin will rise with supply and demand.
Verge will rise with supply and demand.
I came in 11 hours after launch and they were already 20 sat. I had not even heard of Verge or DogecoinDark until yesterday. The only people who bought at 2 sat were "in the know" which is not a clean launch. Then again, since this is a relaunch it could never be "clean" compared to a new currency since billions have already been minted.
But I do agree, short-term trading on a commodity as thin as crypto is blatantly silly. Buy solid currencies and "HODL." I'm just hoping the privacy factor is enough of a drawcard for the average punter to make it work, although I'm sure sophisticated users will love it.
