What a time to be alive in the cryptosphere! When my coins are in the red, the pain makes me feel alive!!

#XVG: Break Past The FUD

Ive been following this coin for a bit now and I feel like I have a better grasp on why this coin intrigues me. Its the only privacy coin to be run on the TOR network. To be honest, I didn't know what the TOR network was when I first was looking at the coin.

#Tor is free software for enabling anonymous communication. The name is derived from an acronym for the original software project name "The Onion Router". Tor directs Internet traffic through a free, worldwide, volunteer overlay network consisting of more than seven thousand relays to conceal a user's location and usage from anyone conducting network surveillance or traffic analysis. Using Tor makes it more difficult to trace Internet activity to the user: this includes "visits to Web sites, online posts, instant messages, and other communication forms". The intent for Tor's use is to protect the personal privacy of its users, as well as their freedom and ability to conduct confidential communication by keeping their Internet activities from being monitored.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_(anonymity_network)

Im not saying that this makes the coin better than the alternatives, but a unique way to provide privacy for its users. This along with their offline wallets with Android and Electrum on IOS; I thought this coin would be a steal.
#FUD is Verge's biggest enemy. Though the twitter hack didn't seem to have much of an affect on its price compared to other competitors, it shows that #Verge is in a very hostile environment. They obviously have peoples attention, they just need to be looked at in the right light.

Exchanges Pushing Back On Privacy Coins:

Japanese crypto exchange #Coincheck will stop handling anonymity-centered cryptocurrencies Monero, Dash, and ZCash in the aftermath of the major January hack when $534 mln worth of NEM was stolen from the exchange, Cointelegraph Japan reported, March 17. https://cointelegraph.com/news/hacked-exchange-coincheck-drops-three-anonymity-focused-coins-after-fsa-inspection

With regulation cracking down all over the world; we could start to see more exchanges following suit. Privacy is a must, but is painted on a very thin line in the cryptoshpere. I could see exchanges not wanting to go through the hassle of fighting with governments constantly over these anonymity coins.

SO

If you are invested in this coin, make sure you keep an eye on how the world is regulating privacy coins. With hacks and fraud being rampant in this crypto-economy, privacy coins will continue to gather more and more scrutiny. Lets pray to the crypto gods that XVG will rise above.

Good luck out there everyone

stay frosty
