I wanted to make this update really quick. When I first got into crypto currencies (only 2-3 months ago), Vertcoin was one of the first coins that i did a FUNDAMENTAL analysis on. Yes... That's right, EBall use to do fundamental analysis...
But what I have to say is that Vertcoin has a very bright future! It reminds me a lot of Litecoin. Though the properties and fundamentals are a bit different, the community and growth of the coin is VERY similar.
This coin is about TRUE decentralization. That may be a problem, because their lead team members often leave but they are NOT paid. It is completely ran by volunteers who are truly trying to improve the crypto-community.
I see this coin eventually catching up to others like Litecoin and Monero, but it will be a minute before that comes. But for those reasons is why I bought into Vertcoin when it was $3 and road it up to $10 before I sold off. But this is one that I'm definitely keeping in more CORE portfolio for the long term. You guys will like this coin. Like I said before, the volatility is just because it's still in baby stage. People are confused on the true value of this coin. But I see it in the fundamentals, and I see it in charts. I'm really proud to see the growth and potential that this coin has!
