[2017-29-11] $11,000 ‘Cripple Coin’: Roger Ver’s Bitcoin Criticism...

[jekjekman]

Bitcoin.com owner and Bitcoin Cash proponent Roger Ver has called Bitcoin ‘cripple coin’ despite prices rising over $11,000.

In comments on the r/BTC subreddit celebrating 50,000 transactions on cryptocurrency gambling site SatoshiDice, Ver defied optimism about Bitcoin’s 1,500% annual growth.

“As cripple coin is passing $10,000 SatoshiDice is about to surpass 50,000 on chain transactions with Bitcoin Cash!” he announced.

Ver has become increasingly outspoken on Bitcoin’s flaws since Bitcoin Cash (BCH) came into being in August. Despite erratic price and mining behavior, the entrepreneur formerly known as ‘Bitcoin Jesus’ has publicly divested himself of large amounts of BTC holdings in favor of the alternative chain.See more.

I really don't know where Roger Ver is getting his sentiments and confidence in saying that Bitcoin is a 'cripple coin'. He keeps on telling negative things to Bitcoin despite of its positive growth while promoting his Bitcoin Cash. Why can't he just talk about Bitcoin Cash without attacking Bitcoin in his statements, once and for all he was a prominent supporter of Bitcoin back then, no doubt that he invested a big amount of his assets and pride with BCH.

he makes those absurd comments while he owns bitcoin, if he really does not like bitcoin because he does not sell all the bitcoins he owns? he would be doing a great favor to all people if he sold all the bitcoins he has and at the same time kept his comments on bitcoin to himself.

he is more to judas, once I saw him on a tv show, I saw him on the yotube and I said to myself: wow this guy really likes bitcoin, he even gets angry when the journalist shows ignorance about bitcoin "but I went naive, he wants to impose his will on other people, that is to say he went on to credit that everything he says and does and is correct

It's experienced growth in price, but not growth in much else.  It's really annoying when you have two sides and neither of them has an actual point to make.

Because bad things can have high prices.

Some dotcom companies ended up with absolutely insanely high prices based on almost nothing except for their vague association with the Internet.  If you were an early investor in these things, you could say "the price is really dumb" and still not sell all of your stock.  The same applies here.

You need to separate the market from the users.  The market isn't 100% representative of users' beliefs about the merits of each crypto, it's representative of users' beliefs about what other users believe about the merits of each crypto.

It's negative on his part because he is a big supporter of Bitcoin Cash which he pushes to the community to force everyone to accept it as the real bitcoin. He should give up the place of owning the Bitcoin.com and give it to someone else he constantly hates bitcoin, and if this continues this will be a great damage to bitcoin's reputation, I mean he is a well known person and also a influential person in the field of Bitcoin, he should be stopped, he just continuously destroying Bitcoin.

I don't think that Roger Ver really hates bitcoin infact he is benefiting from it. Every time he release FUDs  about bitcoin he will definitely get something from it. He is one of the early adopters and he certainly own a lot of Bitcoin and he is definitely trading from bitcoin to bitcoin cash every time.
