I dont now how much investors gone take the vertcoin because there are already other coins with the nfactor like the microcoin ! And there are more coming.. I hope ofcourse youre right but iam not so sure...
Microcoin is not friendly with GPU mining in future, because future for it is zoo for botnets. After a couple of years, no one GPU is not able to mine Microcoin.
P.S.

It's too early to make the conclusion, every coin is evolving. For example, I think all the coins will be changed to use PoW system eventually. But it should still have better solutions.
