No worries @moderninventor, cryptocurrency is not going anywhere. Verge wasn't the best move but be patient, wait for a nice dip, and hop back into some better coins when you feel ready. Investing is about the long-term and diversifying. This also means not only investing in cryptocurrency (unless you're a anarcho-capitalist purist). Best of luck!
