If anyone should be mad at Roger Ver it's me. I have more reason to dislike him than most. I was friends with the guy from 2011 until the bcash split. He oranged pilled me, paid 14btc for baklava, helped so many liberty-minded individuals in NH, and hired me as the first employee at Blockchain(dot)info.

I didn't read about his downfall in Bitcoin in some book or tweet. I had a front row seat.

I don't have the luxury of hating a guy I never met and don't know anything about, unlike most who dislike him.

Have compassion for your enemies. You can disagree with them while simultaneously feeling sorrow for their situation.

I encourage you to give this a try. For your own sake, if nothing else.

GM. Well said.

i’m pretty neutral on the guy tbh.

u have thoughts about his being in spain?

if he knew he had a big tax tab - which i believe he did - it feels irresponsible to be hanging out where you can be easily extradited.

He will be able to pay and walk away tho - but it’s gonna be a big bill.

I'm a rational person, so of course I can look at this situation and agree he made a lot of dumb decisions. You need to put your personal beliefs aside when dealing with the US gov. Pay them or go to jail is the reality, as much as that sucks.

I agree, he'll probably end up paying a lot of money to them and serve no time, unless he decides to fight this (which he may do).

We'll see what happens.

“rational” …. u flatter yourself.

You got me 😂

Empathy is always the correct approach.

Wisdom is that…compassion and empathy don’t build character they reveal it🌅

How people treat strangers on the internet from behind the safety of their keyboards is very, very different from how you treat people in meat space.

If you measure hate by number of angry words people type, it looks bad, but if you measure it more meaningfully: with the amount of energy and time people put into it, no one really cares, at all.

I enjoyed his content early on quite a bit and I hope he makes it back to Bitcoin. Also, https://video.nostr.build/b6cdda7f05e2d7a0deaad30bd3e84f68921e19f32ed6ece92d13f0fd0118c972.mp4

That Jesus guy said to love your enemies. He was ahead of the curve.

I can't be mad at someone who gave me free Bitcoins.

The takes on the news on Twitter are outrageous. The charges aren't a win for Bitcoin, they are a personal loss for someone who believed in the core of Bitcoin and an absolute win for the government and their taxation schemes.

will him being in the clink crash bch?

He did more good for Bitcoin, than any random hater here. I feel bad both Ver and McAfee got caught in my country, don't come here if you have tax problems, this is a surveillance state.

Bitcoin fall bellow 57k after the halving due to the high volatility, and because of lack of skills and strategy most of you folks sell off with out of fear in the space,

when I saw the news I was pissed on the GOV, sure I think Ver has become a villain but I know we're still on the same side on antigov.
