A new Article about Verge in one of the most important Computer Magazins of Germany.

Titel: Hammer deal in progress: is Verge (XVG) the new Bitcoin?
I love the list of partners people keep coming up with... Facebook, Amazon, Mastercard, Wikipedia, Ebay, and now PornHub and PayPal?! Not a single one of these would want their reputation tarnished by partnering with a heavily shilled crypto that just underwent an attack that resulted in millions of XVG being instamined. I know a lot of you want to jump in and say "but they fixed it" and before you do, consider the following:

  • Facebook is already dealing with a lot of people leaving after their most recent data leak. Partnering with a crypto that was very recently shown to be vulnerable would be PR suicide.
  • Amazon would 100% make their own blockchain before partnering with ANY crypto.
  • Mastercard, Ebay, and Paypal all deal with people's "real" money directly. If they were to partner with a cryptocurrency (a concept which the majority of people still don't really understand, remember) that just recently was attacked, many people would lose faith in their security and would no longer trust these companies with their money.
  • I can't even fathom why anyone would think Wikipedia or PornHub would be logical choices. There is no common sense to these speculations.

In all likelihood, this mystery "partner" is probably some advertising agency or another crypto business. Crypto in general is not nearly mainstream enough for any coin other than maybe the top 2-3 coins to be forming partnerships with huge, established corporations.
