buy4crypto,
+1 Agreed, I have also referred this coin to several of my other friends as I do see some interesting points revolving around Vericoin.
Taking aside all the debate of the technological innovations (claiming of credit, who's got a slightly better model, etc.), I see VRC is taking a very different route in terms of marketing/promotion than the many coins out there.
The targeting of "mass-public" rather than the "crypto-pioneers/traders" is really what will give VRC the true and stable value it deserves in the future.
The devs were smart to target the 99.9% (mainstream & every-day life adoption) instead of the 0.1% (where it is highly susceptible to pump-n-dumps and price manipulations).
It's really a blue ocean vs. red ocean strategy here, and this is the direction that most institutional and reasonable investors would be happy to see.
