Veracrypt or Truecrypt?

Despite Truecrypt being abandoned almost ten years ago it still seems safe to me (Veracrypt too). But what makes me think is that Truecrypt had a lot of media coverage for its prowess of being practically "unbreakable" if done correctly, of course. Cases like Snowden's, which revealed to the world that the NSA had difficulty breaking Truecrypt's encryption, made it famous as the best encryption program in the world. Veracrypt also appears to be secure most importantly it does not appear to have backdoors as its source code is opensource. However, there are virtually no high-profile cases where a government or police entity has admitted to not being able to break their encryption.

What do you think? Does Truecrypt still reign supreme for its unbreakable hype, orvis Veracrypt in fact its replacement?

I still own a copy of TC. The 7.1a version was the last known good version, and the version after that had a scary warning not to use it.

Why it had that warning is one of life's great mysteries. There are conspiracy theories of people claiming the developers were under pressure from authorities to backdoor/weaken their software, and I can understand why the project got abandoned if that really was the case.

Do you know where I can find this version to use?

IIUC, VeraCrypt is TrueCrypt; i.e. the same code, forked/continued.
