Critique of Roger Ver and Bitcoin Cash

Roger Ver is an interesting case when it comes to the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency community in general.  Roger Ver was initially hailed as "Bitcoin Jesus" and was largely a positive force for the adoption of Bitcoin. However, now things are quite different. Roger Ver is actively trying to undermine Bitcoin and push alternative coins that he helped hardfork off the original Bitcoin block-chain.

Essentially, Roger Ver is pushing for Bitcoin Cash to overtake Bitcoin. I will give credit, where credit is due. Roger Ver is a very good at marketing. He even got Coinbase to add Bitcoin Cash to their exchange. Coinbase is extremely selective with which cryptocurrencies they support. With Bitcoin Cash, they now support four cryptos in total.

Roger has also thrown his support among other potential hardfork alts such as Bitcoin Classic, Bitcoin XT, and Bitcoin Unlimited. Roger Ver is a big supporter of increasing the blocksize of Bitcoin. All of these hardfork attempts are attempts to undermine the original Bitcoin. Bitcoin Cash was his first successful attempt at hard forking Bitcoin.

Now, lets look into his shady history. In 2002 he was sentenced to 10 months in federal prison for selling and mailing explosives. In 2005 he moved to Japan and later denounced his US citizenship. In 2017, Roger teamed up with Calvin Ayre. Calvin has warrents out for his arrest for running some sort of gambling site called "Bodog."

This is what Calvin had to say about Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash:

With Roger Ver, I get the sense that he is doing something shady.
