The price crashed and yet none of the DEV's coins have moved... https://chainz.cryptoid.info/bta/address.dws?324.htm

In a pump and dump, the DEVS usually sell first, not last 

Actually this is what we think happened. Keep in mind, we're not affiliated with this project:

Before a large volume of trades began, the network had a very low hashrate.

Outside Bots obviously boosted the price because of low availability.

Most of us are almost certain none of the DEVS wanted to flood the network before a transition, this can create headaches on its own, never-mind a wallet upgrade during a massive buying frenzy! They're busy at the moment ensuring the integrity of the block-chain while releasing the new wallet upgrade, they really don't care about the current price or your opinions. We decided to voice ours instead.

Prior to this week; very few people were mining it, and even fewer are willing to sell because they see the potential in this project for its long-term uses.

A large portion of the demand, and thus spike in price for this coin the last few days; was due to a small spike of volume from long-term holders.
This intrigued bots and new investors (like you) who simply pump their money into anything "going up" and then cry when you miss the "dump"

High hashrate miners jumped onto this coin when the prices and difficulty increased and what everyone is buying now is their cheap labor, and "newbie" speculative losses.

From one "newbie" to another... That's what we've been waiting to do! 

This has been one heck of a week.

To give everyone here a summary of some events:
1- Everyone has been patiently awaiting the new wallet upgrade / fork to be implemented with Proof of Stake rewards with Hybrid Proof of Work.
2- Our investment club has been one of the few mining this coin for over a year now, keeping quiet and distant... with a small hashrate but low difficulty.
3- We've been purchasing very small amounts of this coin over the last few months.
4- This last weekend we began to purchase large amounts, and so did others, and it began to snowball higher than most early investors anticipated.
5- ALL POOLS have at this time: ceased work, the network hash rate has dropped, and mining has effectively stopped.
6- A Hard fork new wallet is currently being implemented to the network, after months of development by Midnight miner, and testing.
7- The next phase is about to begin - world's first peer to peer barter platform is currently in development stages...

HOLD YOUR POSITIONS, HAVE PATIENCE, FAITH AND UNDERSTANDING!
IF you're buying coins right now, it's at a blessing price!

Great work team, let's continue our mission!  

Verge is a good currency, the real question remains, will the marketplace see privacy as their priority and can Verge overcome some of the other known shortfalls of Bitcoin?

Networks must be robust, dynamic and secure. Bitcoin is becoming outdated, and the marketplace WILL search for alternatives... now is a great time to be involved in crypto-currencies in general. Much more development is needed and thus growth potential is virtually unlimited.

Bitcoin's nightmare scenario has come to pass - The network's capacity to process transactions has maxed out

Is Verge the currency people will begin to adopt while Bitcoins remain in traffic jams?
