Hey All,

Was going through a lot of comments from members & saw a lot of members really being worried about the falling price of Verge.
I am a Long term Investor & even I am worried about the thing that Verge is so beaten down.

I think we need to put huge efforts to create awareness & market our Coin to the markets. (I am very much aware of the efforts being taken by the Devs & Core team here so no second thoughts about that)
Promoting the various features of Verge - "Privacy" the most important of all could change the game for Verge in its favor.

I am no expert on Crypto / Blockchain tech so do not understand much of the stuff going on anyways. (Trying to learn a lot each day)
However being an Ex Sales / Present Marketing person (From the Electrical & Automation Industry), thats the logic that I could come up with.

Any body who has better ideas as to how can we collaborate to make Verge a more visible coin (also offers better returns in the future Grin

)

Making professional marketing plans or providing a strategic business direction has not yet really been fully accepted in this community, favoring instead a try this and see what happens approach. Albeit some have tried the proposals have never stuck, and obviously the current valuation vindicates these players who have sadly learned to quiet themselves.

Yes, a concerted, organized effort is indeed necessary. Back when, I had offered to put adverts on websites attracting 100,000 daily visitors in the political realm. I was looking for adverts, was sent the logo and left on my own to create designs and wording. Our visitors average more than 7 pages per visit so multiple random adverts to reveal an attractive message would have been optimal. I'm not a graphics guy and didn't really see any community interest or receive any offers for assistance. This community is well covered and stable on the more difficult development side. The easier awareness side, achieved via a real group effort is failing.

Additionally, I was once able to get friend interested in Verge, but he was attacked by multiple individuals for asking a question without previously reading 50 pages of the thread. He never did get a straight answer and was turned off. Don't know where he put the investment, but I know it was substantial. Funny how a couple asses can ruin a good opportunity for themselves and the community with snark remarks.
