Verge was confused in several scandals related to his developer and significantly lost in price and trust. If you are not afraid of attack 51, which has already happened with XVG in 2018, then you should buy coins of this project. Verge price has dropped by 98.8 percent from reaching its maximum.
When the Verge first came on the market, it was pretty loud. But other privacy-focused altcoins have done better than Verge. Especially projects like Zcoin, Grin,Beam, Apollo are some of these. Of course, these are just the verge's competitors.
There are much stronger competitors like Monero, Zcash, and I don't think Verge can compete with those in the long run. So I don't think the price is going to go up too much.
ASICs are destroying Zcash now, because of that no one knows what may happen with the price of this coin in future it may continue falling or it is a good point for a buying.
