For those who are familiar with the world of crypto assets, Roger Ver is one of the names that has had a lot of impact in the industry. Although many people think negatively about his past crimes, his strong advocacy role for Bitcoin cannot be ignored. Despite his somewhat harsh personality, his contributions to Bitcoin and Blockchain have made these two new technologies widely recognized.
His introduction to Bitcoin
Roger Keith Ver (born January 27, 1979) is an early investor in Bitcoin, founder of a Bitcoin-related startup and early promoter of Bitcoin. It has become known as “Bitcoin Jesus” because of its intense promotion for the world's first crypto asset. Ver is also known for its promotion of Bitcoin Cash.
Introduced to crypto assets via podcast in 2011, Ver immediately absorbed a lot of information related to this industry. His company, MemoryDealers.com, became one of the first companies to accept Bitcoin as a means of payment. Through his platform, Ver is a passionate supporter of Bitcoin.
Controversial Opinions Regarding Bitcoin
Ver is known as a person who has a sharp view of the world of crypto assets. His most popular opinion is about the size of the block that should be used in this industry. Ver is a staunch proponent of block bits and thinks it can handle long transaction times and heavy bottlenecks on the Bitcoin network.
Ver is also an active speaker regarding issues faced by Bitcoin and how this technology can be best maximized. Unfortunately, most of his opinions turned out to be controversial for the core Bitcoin team. This is what led Ver to help promote the Bitcoin hard fork to create a new altcoin we know as Bitcoin Cash or BCH. Ver even claims that BCH is the real Bitcoin.
Roger Ver is still active in the crypto asset world and is CEO at Bitcoin.com. Later Ver bought a Twitter account @Bitcoin which he would use to carry out his agenda of promoting Bitcoin Cash as the real Bitcoin. Although he is not free from controversy over the opinions and steps he took, Roger Ver is still someone who deserves the nickname "The Bitcoin Jesus".
