A lot of people want to buy into Vertcoin but are afraid because the only exchange that carries it is CoinedUp which is very slow and often times out. It has the second highest volume on CoinedUp after doge.

I believe Vertcoin is a good bet because it is young (only 14 days old), has some momentum (going up even despite the recent down trend), and it is an innovative GPU-friendly coin that is ASIC resistant. With Gen 2 LTC ASICs around the corner, I'm sure GPU miners will be turning to Vertcoin this year. Never thought this late in the game I'd be buying GPUs, but, well, here I am.
