I was going to ask the same question. Cryptocurrency was never created to make everybody rich, it is founded on technology. My idea of prospering is the project having value in its tech and purpose, the making money part is a side effect of the project doing well, not the be-all and end-all. On that basis, the other coins mentioned are doing no better. I back Verge because I like the tech, the dev and the ongoing development. I of course want to see the value rise eventually (we all like money) and I am sure it will, but being worth a dollar or so does not necessarily make a coin better than other coins. It just means it is more profitable for traders. Fingers crossed that XVG does well in the future...value wise, because it actually earned it. I'm sure the miners want rewarding too.
