One thing that was very clear from the book, was it was NOT about blocksize. I understood that pretty much straight away.

His current fiat tax issues aside, you could argue that Roger WAS successful. He forked BTC to BCH and had control of his own blockchain which still has a market cap of $6B.

Same, but less so for Craig.

Success comes in many forms.

Thanks for the link, I'll look through it when I have some more time.

Another beauty from Roger Ver to Adam Back: Roger really believed that Bitcoin had an ICO:

"Adam, you had a personal invitation from Satoshi to participate in Bitcoin’s ICO before it even launched. You ignored the invite and didn’t get involved in any way until after bitcoin was around $1,000 many years later. I think this is firm evidence that you have no idea why Bitcoin became used as money, and you have no clue as to what the users of Bitcoin want today" -- Roger Ver

I know, I watch Adam troll Roger on Xitter 😂

I tend not be to as black and white as history would wish me to be, so I'm afraid I can't follow you on a journey of belittling Roger.

That doesn't mean I don't agree with the arguments or even the conclusions, just the additional emotional baggage that inevitably comes from those directly involved.

I wrote about this in a different form yesterday, here:

No. Roger is many things but not that stupid. "ICO" wasn't even a term back then and he was figuratively speaking as Satoshi did contact Adam Back to join in earlier than he did in the end.
