verge is a privacy coin. it has tor which is hidden even when buying cyrpto in china. china has ban crypto currency as you know. only available in hong kong. so if verge can hide will verge perform quite well in china. and look for more ways to expand.
So is XMR. And for me XMR is a much better investment for both the long term and the short term, since it does not have as much hype generated and its community has a stable growth mindset which not a lot of crypto communities do have.
They are extremely sustainable in terms of long term price growth, and it can also heat up in the short term as well.
Privacy coins will be the future of alts in my opinion. But Verge is not it, it looks like a classic pump and dump coin to me.
