John McAfee: Verge (XVG) is the Best Buy; XVG Price Doubles Overnight

John McAfee recently Tweeted his recommendations for cryptocurrencies and included Verge with others like Monero and Zcash, leading to a 100% rise in XVG's price.

It appears that Verge currency is ready to take off and possibly join the big leagues after renowned entrepreneur and businessman John McAfee mentioned it in one of his recent Tweets, even going as far as to call it the “best buy”.

"I am inundated by people asking me for recommendations on cryptocurrencies. If you would use your heads you would figure out that the privacy coins (anonymous transactions) will have the greatest future. Coins like Monero (XMR), Verge (XVG), or Zcash (ZEC) cannot lose.— John McAfee (@officialmcafee)December 13, 2017"

McAfee is a vocal advocate of cryptocurrencies and believes that privacy-centric coins, such as Monero, Zcash and Verge are going to go big in the future as governments scramble to get a grip on cryptocurrency transactions around the globe.

Getting mentioned in the same sentence as Monero and Zcash, and that too from someone like John McAfee, did wonders for Verge, which shot up from 55 Satoshi on December 13 to its current price of around 117 Satoshi.

McAfee’s recommendation even threw some people off, who may have thought he mentioned it accidentally, instead of other, more popular coins. However, he not only clarified that he was talking about XVG, he went on to call it the best buy.

Verge cryptocurrency may not be as well known as other privacy-centric coins, but it’s been supported by a very passionate community and their efforts, coupled with recent development progress have started to show results as Verge gains traction.
