Verge (XVG) is an open-source, decentralized cryptocurrency that claims to offer completely anonymous transactions by obfuscating the location and the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the transacting participants. In addition to offering anonymity, Verge also promises to be a more scalable and faster blockchain than other cryptocurrencies. For these reasons, Verge has been gaining popularity as a privacy-focused alternative to Bitcoin.While Verge does have some advantages over other cryptocurrencies, it also has several potential drawbacks. One major concern is that because Verge relies on Tor for anonymity, it could be susceptible to attacks that target Tor users. Additionally, some people believe that the team behind Verge is not fully transparent about their development process and decisions – which could lead to problems down the road.
