I know this is a Verge thread and will probably get biased views, but what does verge do that monero/dash/pvix/etc can't do? When I read through the various reddit forums, I see that verge is frowned upon and the more popular cryptos do anonymity/privacy aspects better. Maybe no one truly understands the tech between the various coins?
The coins you listed have a way higher market cap than Verge. Why should Verge do worse than these coins?
First, is Verge's tech actually better? What does Verge do that the other 3-4 major players in privacy/anonymity can't do? Second, they have first mover advantage with bigger teams, better marketing, etc. Look at bitcoin vs litecoin. Litecoin is a copycat with better tech, but it's no where near the MC of bitcoin's since bitcoin was the first one.
