It’s hard to tell if Roger Ver is a scammer, or a victim of many scams. Perhaps he is the most malicious liar in Bitcoin history.
I don’t really care. He says everyone should hold their own keys, privacy is important, and Bitcoin can destroy the central banks.
This is the message of Bitcoin. If Roger is using this message to scam shitcoiners, I don’t care. The message is far more important than the messenger.
Michael Saylor does not like this message. His message is that Bitcoin needs to separate itself from the cypherpunks.
The big blockers were right about one thing. Big blocks are far less centralizing than KYC custodial lightning.
Listen to nostr:npub12qz56plzehejkyp4waaannmnny4y4c30j8q55a3wlk49haslga2snypdx8 interview Roger and decide for yourself. Maybe you hate cypherpunks too. Whatever, Bitcoin is for enemies. When we have drivechains, everyone will come back to the real Bitcoin anyway.

He's a scammer
-Vouched for MtGox solvency
-Promoted $700M Bitclub ponzi
-partnered & promoted Craig Wright
-partnered & promoted $36M ICO FuzeX scam
-promoted shitokens like Hex
-Put a "Buy Bitcoin" button that sells you BCash
-Denied he did any of these things
Hmm, sounds like…
- Peter McCormack and other Bitcoin influencers shilling scams they fell for
- the Lightning network
- Bitcoiners promoting #MSTR like it’s more ethical and decentralized than Ethereum
- Michael Saylor and Peter Todd promoting shitcoins like Monero because "Bitcoin doesn’t need to upset regulators"
- BlockStream getting $21 million VC money to create sidechains, and giving us a multisig shitcoin instead
Sounds like typical bigblockers/CSW cultists talking points.
Roger Ver is either a scammer, simple man but the world's biggest technical and richest idiot, or wants to dictate to the world what bitcoin should be
