In my last post, I attempted a little conversation starter. It’s difficult to believe anything you hear anymore. The mainstream media has a pick-your-poison approach to viewership. I don’t even bother to participate anymore. When it comes to Verge and social media, it’s two sides of a token. In the wild west of Ypto, you either hop on the hype train, or you’re a schadenfreude bandit, waiting to hijack the bandwagon.

Me, I like to stay in the middle of the spinning ying-yang. It’s like being in the eye of a hurricane shit storm. Talking to people, either in person or on the interweb, I would hope to gain some insight either way. The truth is, it is getting really old looking at my phone. I am starting to actually hate it. But with the dramatic nature of Verge, I figure I’ll stick with it for the next couple days.

So with no further ado, the last title:

Verge is PoW, but the PoS is in the Pudding. The Proof of Community Support.

Let me direct you to where I am getting at…

Verge is not a private company. You can’t take them to court. You can’t expect them(contributors) to perform to your expectations. Just because you have some Verge, doesn’t give you a seat on a board making decisions. It’s not a stock that is going to pay you dividends. It’s not an physical asset, like a piece of land you can build on, or a house you can live in.

The fact of the matter is, owning Verge (XVG), IS your stake. Take it, hold it, hodl it, do whatever you want with it, that’s up to you. But if you are in XVG and you want to derive some value from it, then YOU have to contribute. It’s that simple.

If you are day trading XVG, this does not pertain to you. It doesn’t matter, that it doesn’t pertain to you, because if you care about what you are trading, then you are not going to be day trading for very long.
I am not knocking day trades at all here. In contrast, I give mad props to these folks, because they are explorers in price discovery, and they are an essential part of any global market ecosystem.

But when it comes to Verge (XVG). The proof is in the pudding. Although Verge implements proof of work (PoW), the proof of stake (PoS) is accomplished by its community involvement. Either by holding, hodling, buying, selling, hyping, hating, talking, debating, ranting, raving, hopefully using, hopefully coding, hopefully packaging, hopefully marketing, hopefully street teaming, hopefully exhibiting.

And all the “hopefuls” things are up to YOU!

When the transfer of value is open sourced, things get a bit icky.

"Are we going to get paid for what we are building?"
"Can I stake what I do hold and gain a dividend for securing the network?"

Yes, why yes you can. Not by staking your coins to secure the network of masternodes and staking wallets, which centralize the system. Instead, your time, effort, your communications, these are the things that we need to get the job done around here at Verge (XVG).

There are people all over the world, dying to participate in something. These Ypto-spheres are so very small. They are tiny marbles, getting tossed around, striking each other left and right up and down. All these tensions are going to either merge the small marbles together into a big striker marble. Else, they will shoot themselves, so off into the distance, too far out of the bounds of space and time for them to matter.

Some things to keep in mind…

Verge was around when Dash was Darkcoin. If anyone asked what is in your top 20 PryCry? Verge wasn’t even a mention. How bout now?

Do you really think Sunerok is the only person behind this?

Even though at times, Verge is a frothy-mouth raving lunatic. Guess what? We are all human. Keeping it real in a DAO. It’s like the dao of the DAO, cause autonomous is replaced by humanomous, bringing greater balance to the force.

Overall, Verge is a community, not bound by any specific locations, networks or job titles.
This is the XVG fam. This is XVG life.

It really is up to you!

Verge is what the DOA and all these voting/staking coins hope to achieve.

Verge is an organic DOA, where the staking credits are obtained thru use, holds, support, and being a good and informed crypto ambassador. Rewards are garnished by those who believe and want to work towards a goal. We are creating a better system of fair and seamless value transfer.

Whatever may happen, the use case for Verge is about to get a giant boost here shortly.
