What to consider when buying Vertcoin

Cryptocurrency is a highly volatile and speculative asset, and there’s a lot to consider before you decide to add some to your portfolio. In the case of VTC, here are some things you should know:

  • Decentralisation: Vertcoin’s primary goal is to tackle the issue with Proof-of-Work blockchains such as Bitcoin and Litecoin that has led to specially-designed mining businesses controlling the cryptocurrency’s wealth distribution. Vertcoin allows those with over-the-counter GPUs to participate in validating blocks and earning VTC, however the coin is not still not fully decentralised. At times, upwards of 70% of VTC was owned by less than 1% of token holders, and the top 10 wallet addresses regularly hold over 30% of VTC’s circulating supply.
  • Competition: Vertcoin is just one of many blockchain projects attempting to produce ASIC-resisting mining solutions. Ravencoin, Monero and Ethereum Classic are three such examples, and it is worth examining these coins to see how they compare to VTC.
  • Token use-case: Vertcoin has been around for a while – since 2014 – and behaves very much like a traditional cryptocurrency. It is very similar in its potential uses to coins like BTC and LTC, which it is typically compared to. However, it can be argued that Vertcoin is a more viable option as a medium of exchange due to its much lower price, which may impact the cryptocurrency’s demand and adoption going forward.

How to sell Vertcoin

You can cash out your VTC with the same exchange you bought it through:

  1. Sign in to the exchange you have VTC on.
    If you store your Vertcoin in a digital wallet, compare crypto exchanges to sell it on.
  2. Place a sell order.
    Choose the amount of VTC you'd like to sell.
  3. Complete your transaction.
    Confirm the sell price and fees and close your sale of Vertcoin.
