Thinking that I bought the verge at 9 satoshi, I have a good profit

I believe it will have a good growth
so basically it's just because of the spec growth? what about longterm investing? I think the whole cheap buy era is slowly fading. we should start thinking which coins might survive till the end of 2018
Does Verge have anything special that monero doesn't solve better? honest question
According to XVG roadmap, they have about 6 features to be released within July 2017, we only have 2 days left for August and we still havent heard anything... that's a bad sign... if they postpone or dont fullfull their promises things might look bad
