Imagine buying $VET for $0.006 - $0.01 only 2-3 years ago...👀
PBC believes that VeChain will be able to capture 0.5% to 5% of the counterfeit goods markt in the next five years. That will put the value of VET at $0.265, a gain of 3,850%. I personally believe VET will reach a value of $0.265 earlier than expected, but I’m heavily biased :)

Hi everyone, I see a lot of speculation about a 'huge new partnership' of VeChain and I feel the urge to express my feelings about it.
