I am also trying to see such an approach as you have taken. I'm holding on to the possibility that Verge has a future as a "privacy coin" as to the best I understand it, and whether any of this wraith protocol talk amounts to anything or not, I've committed to the currency and it's core community, for better or worse. I'm certainly not throwing money away that I can't afford to lose. I see, as you say, many people pumping money into a "get rich quick" hope. I'd like to think of my minuscule dip into this market as an experiment that may or may not ever pay off. Now I'm in "set it and forget it" mode, as life has more important things to be treasured.
