Verge : An Ultra Brief History

  • 2014: The VerGenesis block of Dogecoindark
  • 2016: Dogecoindark rebrands as Verge
  • 2017: John McAfee talks Verge on Larry and Joe show


  • 2018: Crowdfund goal of 75,000,000 XVG is reached to secure partnership with a non-disclosed major company:

“A global organization with a vast network of high traffic sites is looking to enter the cryptocurrency market and form a strategic business alliance with Verge as the preferred form of secure payment method, offering a quick and private means of transaction to hundreds of millions of potential consumers daily. This partnership represents an enormous potential market with a global reach that will compete with multiple fiat currencies.”

It’s interesting, I always try to find perspective by looking back at the past. It is hard to find good info thru the thickness of FUD and hype. Might seem like a pain in the ass to go thru, but the earliest writings about Verge (XVG), are probably the in the bitcointalk threads?

We are talking people’s money, and Verge is the most dramatic crypto in the business. I’ve never seen so much love and hate clashing. Not just on the web, but in person Verge is a hard sell. I just think of it as rooting for your favorite sports team. Or band you really love, while others fucking hate them. There is good and bad in everything yo. I believe in Verge for a bunch of reasons. At the same time, I don’t want to see the community have the kind of censorship that forked the Bitcoin blockchain, as well as the Bitcoin community. Imagine if everyone reached an agreement and BTC never forked this past August. What effect would that have on the price today? The Development?

It seems as though the divide between Verge hype-sters and Verge haters is vast and growing. I like staying somewhat in the middle, keep it light. There are valid points to the arguments on both sides.

So as another fill in the blank, I challenge you to write:

What I love about Verge :_________________________________________________________________
What I hate about Verge :_________________________________________________________________

If you only have one or the other that’s fine, but don’t just write “shitcoin”, “trash”, “garbage” or “to the moon” “FUD!” “when lambo?”.

Or do if you want, just don’t be an asshole to others either way. This is going to be a crazy and fun start to the week. Whatever happens, if not on the same side, we are all still on the same ride. The Ypto rocket coaster. I’d liked to see everyone do well this year.

Thanks for reading,
Take care and God bless.
Cheers!
