Well it is hold for any coin right now not only for Verge. We are very low again right now and there is no point in selling your coins that cheap. We are close to see a big alt season and when that happens we will get our coins worth multiplied by several times at least. So hold your coins and don't feed the whales by selling them cheap.
do you think that the market of crypto-currency is falling and is in poor condition because of artificial manipulation, so that later large whales could buy cheap coins?
Just right, almost all altcoins now were so badly cheap and for some big whales who knows it will come and plays with this coins in the future they will be the biggest manipulators again. Some whales makes it dump and for most they are waiting for much cheaper prices before they buy and wait for its term to get up again. Verge and other good cryptocurrency is a good signal to buy if you want to take risk now.
