If this coin reaches $1.00 then that would make its market cap $13 Billion which would put it as the top alt coin excluding Bitcoin & Etherium. With a market cap this size it aint gonna reach $1.00 within 12 months sorry. Lucky to get to 30c if being honest. (Which would still put it around top 10)
I know we all want this coin to shoot the moon and it does have a great dev team but lets be realistic here..
I think you are forgetting one thing. By the time verge reaches $1, the price and market-cap of other coins would have significantly gone up. It's not like verge will hit $1 and ethereum and bitcoin would have stayed at the same price all this time. Whilst the dev and tech of Verge seems pretty good. do not forget the fact that more and more money is being poured into the world of cryptocurrencies each day, despite very few people knowing about it. Think about it, when this becomes more and more main stream, people will start to buy up coins that are on the cheap. What is more likely to go up, a coin worth 50p or something that is worth $1000? Which coin are people more likely to buy?
I think you know the answer to the above.
