Both of them are good, Monero is a good privacy project and Verge is good as a bad project. 2 times they got exploited by the hackers, and when they got exploited for the first time the dev said everything is solved. But he was wrong, in a couple days later the hacker did it again and caused a massive loss to the community and supporter.
another thing is a fake partnership with some 'an adult' company, they said they made a kind of partnership with them but when they started to 'know' something about cryptocurrency. They used another project.
