We can draw a few price based conclusions from this.

The partnership details won't get leaked, price may drop a fraction until then. But realistically it will be leaked, too many people in the loop, so at some point between now and the 16th April the price will increase exponentially.

Currently on Binance price is around 511, however there are buy orders for over 17,000,000 xvg in the price range 499-511. That's quite a lot, guess there's a cat out of the bag somewhere.

For what it's worth, I'm guessing the partner is Paypal.

Initial tweets are from the official account.

Replies can be from anyone, if you took the time to look you'd see tweets were from vergecullency or vergecoirency.

Further to that, clicking on these takes you to the tweeters history, where their total number of tweets ever, is one.

Common sense should show that if XVG was asking for a crowdfunded donation, that they wouldn't be giving away 1000 ETH?

Oh dear.

valuable lessons to be learned here, number one is if something looks too good to be true, it is.

Fall for what?

The target was hit, now fingers crossed the announcement is a really positive one.

If you haven't been paying much attention look at the current price, up +30% v BTC compared to everything else that is dropping.

Less than an hour left in the $XVG fundraising and the deadline for the DEAL OF THE CENTURY 🚀 We just had board meeting and made an emergency last minute decision. If #VergeFam can contribute 15,000,000 coins by 6:00PM EST, #TokenPay will cover the balance. Can we get it done?🥂


Try and keep up!

Tokenpay were doubling all donations, so 70 million xvg, which is close enough I think

Looking promising, think we got to around 35 million xvg, which in all honesty is a pretty fair effort.

Some massive buy orders going in on binance now the market appears to be recovering a little.

Just saying.

Guys, you're either in this because you believe in the tech and the price will rise accordingly, or you're here for a quick buck. You can't have both.

XVG is up something like 2600% in the last few months. It needs a breather I think you're expecting a little too much, too soon, following that massive rise.

However saying that, it will be 4000 sats by the summer and 25-30000 sats in 2-3 years.

So either sell and go try your luck elsewhere of just buy the dips and sell the highs in the meantime, it's not difficult, I make an average of $3-400 a day doing just that.

Ripple has over twice the total amount of coins compared to Verge.

Verge is not pre-mined.

Verge doesn't have 55 billion coins waiting in the wings to be dropped at a moments notice.

Ripple is £2+

You think Verge can't reach $1?

i have a bridge for sale if you're interested.

A must read (read all of it!)

Then HODL.

The link is from their official Twitter feed.

If I was a betting man I'd suggest Wraith will be released midnight on New Year's Eve, just for impact, ushering in a new year.

But that's just my opinion.

From the official telegram group they've set up today to fight the ongoing FUD war...

'About the final update of Wraith Protocol.
The head developer Sunerok (known as verge dev on telegram) has said multiple times that the update will occur Q4 2017.
This means that the team has the time to upload this update until December 31th. So please relax and hold on.
These kinds of protocols take a huge amount of time to create and at this moment he is working on some minor details before it will be uploaded.
On December 28th Sunerok publicly said that Verge is still on track for Q4 2017 and people shouldn't be too worried.'

Feel free to go and check yourself.

For information purposes, when I decided to invest in CC's, the only research I performed was going through the coinmarketcap top 100 list, removed anything that was pre-mined or vastly over priced and had a look at the use/potential of everything left on the list. Took me less than an hour.

Verge stood out a mile, even to a relative noob like me.

Ignore the FUD, keep the Faith.

Furthermore...
'@6BillionPeople later stated that he did not post the initial tweet and that he was hacked, before deleting everything. Funnily enough, his Patreon must also have been hacked at the same time, as the message was also posted there. This is just one of many reasons why you should not trust random Twitter users to give you financial advice. It’s also a good example of why everyone should use two-factor authentication!'

I'm a reasonably mature chap (age wise), relatively new to cc (three months), however at times people need to sit back and think before making hasty unwise decisions. Quite obviously Verge is going to be a major player in 2018, regardless of what the 'internet' says or does, the concept of Verge and its soon to be released unique ability, via Wraith (with smart contracts and atomic swaps to follow) will make Verge a must own coin.

For the record I own 500,000 bought at 0.005c (not sure what this was in satoshi's at the time). I could have sold at 0.28c, but I didn't. I could have had a 5600% return in less than three months, but I didn't. Do you know why? Because in the next twelve months I expect the cost per coin to be far in excess of 0.28c each, I'm not going to go and try and second guess daily moves on the market, I don't have to, I just have to HODL.

Good luck everyone.

Couple of questions if I may.

Has wraith now actually been released, info is sketchy atm?

I currently have a qt based wallet, will the v3 wallet upgrade this existing wallet or is it a fresh install? More importantly, where can I find it, the xvg website isn't hosting it currently?

Thanks in advance for sensible replies.

Let's be positive.

Here's food for thought.

Ripple
38,000,000,000 supply
Banker coin
Pre-mined
No original and/or exciting attributes, but is 20c a coin
Market cap 7.7 billion


Verge
16,500,000,000 supply
Had to be mined
Completely anonymous
5 second transactions
Atomic swaps
Smart contracts
0.0088c a coin
Market cap 125 million


I believe most would agree Verge is far superior, there is only one way the price can go.
