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.

I agree that there is some first mover advantage but I think it is mostly there because these coins have the possibility to invent faster due to their bigger team. If they don't do that the better technology and usability will win the race. And I think that Verge has a quite nice innovation speed despite having a small team.
