Apparently, the suppressed Bitcoin XT is permitted a full explanation of it's position, but the position of the Bitcoin Core censors deserves zero explanation whatsoever. Roger has a strange way of representing both sides of the debate, as he claims to adhere to.

Someone promoting a centralising solution to the scaling problem cannot also claim to be an anarchist.

Saying big miners are centralized is like saying the Boston Marathon is rigged because Kenyan runners often win.

Any significantly advanced cryptocurrency is indistinguishable from Ponzi Tulips.

I'd have to actually have said that for your reply to make any sense, though.

And big miners are a problem: if one miner is more than 51% of the network, you can kiss your monetary freedom goodbye. Remember? So lets not pretend that centralising mining can ever be construed as good for Bitcoin; every wave of centralisation brings us closer to a situation where those miners decide whether you're allowed to use their network or not.

Is this a promotion video for Bitcoin.com? Roger Ver is such a smart guy, it's just a pity he chose to take this angle. A lot of people associate Bitcoin users with Anarchists and

Libertarians and do not want to join in, because of that. We should not be going around and strengthen that myth. Most people just want to use Bitcoin because it's better at

doing things banks and governments are failing at... We are not extremists or anti-social geeks... We are normal people with open minds. Let's leave the boxing for the shills.  Roll Eyes

Your financial freedom is not at all in danger with a single miner with 51% of the network. There is no realistic scenario where this is  reasonable argument.

It's not the first time that Roger is a guest at Jeff Berwick's show. Roger also participated at several other anarchist/libertarian podcasts. So this is nothing new imo and I myself don't have a problem with it.I mean libertarians had been the first people beside the cypherpunks using Bitcoin.
And yes he is promoting bitcoin.com really strong the last few weeks since his forum there was launched and the website redesigned.

Just wait until you see what is coming for Bitcoin.com this coming Monday.

You haven't seen any promotion yet!
