VeChain is still a baby and have came into to existence in crypto market in a bad situation. Lets give some time for it to grow in its own pace, not only VeChain, but all other crypto coins are down to the earth almost. Probably this coin will emerge and show its full potential in a month or two I guess.
Where were you at last year when this coin was at 5 cents? In light of that price, VEN is still 50x that price at the moment of this post, so I wouldn't say it came into existence in crypto in a seriously bad situation considering where its at now.
