I would also be going for Cardano as well. Verge will actually always be the last on my plate and even though it has really had a crazily huge spike over the years; it does not mean it would be like that forever. Although, it has something good going for it in the adult entertainment world but that is what it is.

Ada is a very strong project which I believe is still a lot undervalued and can have a huge chance of growing more than it is presently. In this regard, I would go for ADA instead.
