Depending on who you ask, everyone has their own description of what they think verge is.
To some, it seemed like the ultimate private coin, capable of many things, to others, it was just another nonsense altcoin, destined to fail.
In 2017, during the crypto bull run, verge spiked up a very large percentage and basically made it's holders lots of money.
In 2018, verge announced a partnership with the largest porn center in the world, pornhub and since then they have pretty much gone silent.
The problems of verge are many, but the fact that they have suffered multiple hacks may be a cause why the community has been so down and silent.
