Crypto rising.

Lyra2REv2 mining with 50 VTC block rewards.

Soon Stealth added again.

At one point in time this was one of my most favorite Cryptos. No ASIC mining, no premine, fast 2.5 minute blocks, 84 million VTC to be released ever and strong decentralization. SegWit activated in may 2017, but they lost me a bit when the developers ripped the stealth part out.

Then the good news came: stealth is coming back! And that boosted the market price for VTC. Even now while the main focus seems towards Bitcoin getting pumped, Vertcoin is going places. The price rise of BTC is related to the next forking clone coming. Not even interesting naming it anymore. What else is new, right.

Thought there were only supposed to be 21 million. And soon there will be 84 million split up in 4 different kinds. Wonder how Bitcoin fanatics are going to explain that one. By the way, how many Bitcoin purists do you need to replace a lightbulb? Spoiler alert: 101... A hundred to discuss how Satoshi Nakamoto would have done it. While one gets the old bulb out and puts a new one in.

Stealth for privacy.

The people's crypto, that's how Vertcoin promotes itself. And I think they do fit that image better than Bitcoin. Yet I think SegWit cryptos like Litecoin, Monacoin, Digibyte and Vertcoin will become more expensive. The reason I invested in VTC again though was the announcement that it will have Stealth transactions implemented again. Privacy for the people who want it.

What makes Cryptos stand out for me are things that make them unique. Claiming a Crypto is rare and scarce is not that important. Bitcoin proved that, as soon there will be 84 million of those too. Thanks to the forking clones madness. See, that is why I call them clones... No innovation, except for SegWit, while Vertcoin will have 84 million VTC and Stealth transactions! Privacy will become an issue in the Crypto realm soon I think, for me it already was.

Go Vertcoin!

Still at the 50 VTC per found block that will be getting more miners in. As the price of Vertcoin soon will go towards 3 US Dollar. This one I moved back into sooner than I did with Litecoin. Got mine when LTC was close to 4 USD. With Stealth transactions coming for Vertcoin I expect it to go towards Zcash {ZEC} value. Yet Vertcoin has the advantage of SegWit. So I might even sell my ZEC for VTC.

Zcash its privacy tech got adopted by the JP Morgan Chase bank, that makes me even prefer Vertcoin more. But remember, only invest in Cryptos what you are willing and able to lose. And your speculation might be as bad, or as good, as mine.

Have a great one!

Vertcoin, Crypto for the people!
