Imagine being able to make and receive crypto payments, without your ISP getting wind of it. That would be a great reap in the area of privacy, right? Well, expect this soon from the Verge team. By creating the I2P android wallet, users will be in a position to send verge payments with their android phones, without broadcasting this information to service providers, and other third parties such as hackers and governments. This is big, and as long as privacy remains a problem for most people using the internet, you can bet that the I2P wallet will push up the value of XVG in the long-run.
Also note, Verge (XVG) is one of the easiest coins to mine, since it can be done with any GPU. In the later part of Q1 of 2018, Verge intends to introduce an official mining guide to make it even easier. This will grow the number of people looking to make money by mining XVG. You can expect that this will push up the value of XVG higher once it gets actualized. This is definitely one of the updates you should look out for, as you look to invest in Verge in 2018.
Further note, Verge has a supply cap of 16.5 billion coins. Of these, 14 billon have already been minted. This means that in the long run, the demand for XVG will continue to grow relative to its supply. The result will be a growth in its price, which is great for people who invest now, when the price is still relatively low
Introduction of RSK smart contracts - This is one of the upcoming events that is guaranteed to push up Verge’s value. That’s because through these contracts, developers will be in a position to come up with all forms of decentralized applications that overlie the verge platform. This is big news! It will introduce privacy and anonymity in the monetization of blockchain-based applications. This is so fundamentally huge that it could easily see Verge’s value grow by triple-digits within a few months. The technology is already being tested on bitcoin, so you can be sure that it’s a big deal!
