Why Does the Media Keep Referring to Ver as "Bitcoin Jesus"?

[nutildah]

He doesn't! He's stated several times that "Bitcoin Cash is the Real Bitcoin." No, its not. That's why the symbol for bitcoin is BTC and the symbol for Bitcoin Cash is BCH.

This is why I love you morons.  You think that because the symbol 'BTC' - therefore real.  What a brilliant conclusion.  Go read the whitepaper dumbass.  Bitcoin Cash is the real Bitcoin.  Maybe one day lightning will be interesting and functional.  But it isn't Bitcoin.

Why do you insist on being ridiculous?

[nidacoinlove]

Over the past 2 years, Ver has proven himself to be one of the greediest figures in all of cryptocurrency.

You've got to be kidding.  Ver is very generous.  Your little troll gang can only fool the dumbest of the community.  Nearly everyone understands that Ver firmly believes in the old original and he works very hard to keep that network alive.  Good fucking luck with Lightning.  I hope it works.  But why does everyone have to shit on Roger because he considers the original Bitcoin to be important still?  It doesn't slow your coders down.  Let them code away on Lightning.  Maybe they will make something nice.  You all act like Roger is eating their lunch.  Roger doesn't interfere at all with Lightning.  Only Lightning coders can slow that piece of shit down. 

you are a bigger fool that i thought if you really believe what you just said.
Roger Ver saw chaos in bitcoin thanks to scaling debate and used that chaos as a ladder to fill his pockets and become even richer.
and regarding slow down, the constant FUD that has been spread by him all over the media has slowed down everything more than you think. and it is not just slowing things down it is about all the false information that is circling the internet thanks to him!

I feel petty for those who still believe in Ver and guess what? It's really funny when they say fool to the people who follow Bitcoin. Ver just tried to reinvent the wheel and nothing else.
Everyone should be clear about the fact that Ver only is interested in his personal wealth, what all he did and is doing is all for a personal interest.

Why Does the Media Keep Referring to Ver as "Bitcoin Jesus"?

let's go back a bit in the past:

Bitcoin Jesus and the Largest Bitcoin Donation

Young entrepreneur and multimillionaire Ver Roger proved that he is true “The Bitcoin Jesus” and made the largest bitcoin donation ever. In the latest video on YouTube Roger tels that the real success of Bitcoin is yet to come.

Ver Roger was born in the world’s technology development center – the Silicon Valley. When he was 19-years old Rogers managed to open his first business called MemoryDealers. In the beginning he was selling discount computer accessories at online store. A young man invested in his 1.4 thousand dollars that he earned during summer, to buy several hard drives and then sold them on eBay. Exactly this venture helped Roger to earn his first million.

First time when Roger heard about bitcoin digital currency on the radio he had skeptical opinion, though he realized that this might be the best form of money that has ever existed in the world. He began to search for any information concidering Bitcoin.

Soon after, Rogers invested in BitInstant.com. Later he invested in many other projects related to digital currency, including BitPay, BlockShain, CoinLab etc. Rogers believed in bitcoin future and MemoryDealers.com became one of the first companies that accept bitcoin payments. Moreover, when nobody really knew about bitcoin Rogers had put up a huge roadside billboard to advertise digital currency.

Peter Vessenes, CEO of Bitcoin Foundation, even gave Rogers the nickname “The Bitcoin Jesus” for his generous and faith in digital currency.


On the 30th November Rogers made one million dollars or one thousand coins donation to the Foundation for Economic Education (www.FEE.org). It is the world’s largest bitcoin donation ever. Rogers called it as a price for “losing” a bed he had made a couple of years ago – he made a bet for $10,000 that bitcoin would “outperform gold, silver, the US stock market and the US dollar by more than one hundred times over the next two years”.

In the latest video Rogers made a statement: “I’m here today to say that I was wrong, In reality it took about two years and two months for bitcoin to outperform everything else by more than a hundred times. Over that time, gold and silver are down, the stock market is up about 45 per cent, but Bitcoin is up more than 15,000 per cent, or more than three hundred times everything else.”

It is worth to mention, that in the beginning of 2011 bitcoin prices stood at about 1 dollar, and now it is traded for 1 thousand dollars.

However, Rogers consider that this is not a limit for digital currency. He believes that it should cost tens or even hundreds of thousands dollars.

In the video Rogers shared his inspiration and said: “I will proudly continue to promote Bitcoin full time because I see it as the best chance the world has ever seen at creating a more peaceful society in which all human interactions are voluntary, and outside groups of people calling themselves the state are no longer able to violently interject themselves into the affairs of others”.

Roger Ver: “I Will Sell My Coins To Buy “More Useful” Bitcoin Unlimited”

“I will sell my coins on the slow, expensive Core chain and use the proceeds from that [...] to buy some of the more useful Bitcoins because Bitcoin Unlimited coins will be so much more useful.”

with this little walk that I did to the past, we can see that he did some good things for bitcoin and he has merit for it, but he got out of his way and so we have to let him sink

I just noticed this. Congrats, your meme got picked up on a crypto website article:

https://coinclarity.com/knowing-your-crypto-memes/

Thanks for the info,although I must emphasize that this is not my meme-I just posted it in this thread,but I must thank the author for it

I feel petty for those who still believe in Ver and guess what? It's really funny when they say fool to the people who follow Bitcoin. Ver just tried to reinvent the wheel and nothing else.
Everyone should be clear about the fact that Ver only is interested in his personal wealth, what all he did and is doing is all for a personal interest.

People are changing in life,and these changes can sometimes be pretty drastic-we see this in the example of Roger Ver,once was a great supporter of BTC,but in one moment he turned into the greatest enemy.I agree that he saw an opportunity to profit and he took advantage of that.That would not even be nothing wrong if he did not began to spread false information that BitcoinCash in real Bitcoin.We all know how it ended,most have realized what it is all about-but some are still belive in that idea even today.BCH is just one more altcoin,nothing more, nothing less.

[nutildah]

BCH is just one more altcoin,nothing more, nothing less.

Its incredibly sad to hear about BCH fanatics stooping so low as to alter Wikipedia to link to BCH block explorers, and of course Ver's sabotaging of bitcoin.com to promote his version of the "real bitcoin."

So while he may have been generous at one point, he's anything but now.

[jhonnydeep87]

Probably ver has invested a lot of money into the beginning and has supported their projects on a large scale but I do not think the term correctly. Ver assumes that bitcoin is like his god.

[Webadasz]

which media are you taling about?

[aiviaa485]

already in the definite if Bitcoin Jesus it is Bitcoin Cash who always want to overthrow the price of Bitcoin.

Roger Ver is very greedy, he mengulahal all ways to make Bitcoin Cash mennj Cryptocurrency the first.

[hhussain]

Even though bitcoin had made its place in the investment market , its connection to the industries and consumer market was still to be established, Roger Ver is the person who has taken the unconventional step of integrating these two markets to alleviate the value of bitcoin and hence given the title of bitcoin Jesus.

[Steamtyme]

BitPico just gave Ver a schoolyard call out, and wants to see him cry.

Hilarious. The 2 main problems with BCH is that:

1. It's a blatant cash grab; an attempt to cash in on the good name of bitcoin.
2. Nobody uses it for anything! It has very little adoption anywhere. It's just another speculation-driven altcoin that happens to have the word "Bitcoin" in its name.

After the incident with Wikipedia where BCH people kept changing the "bitcoin" entry to link to a Bitcoin Cash block explorer, and Roger using bitcoin.com basically to trick people into thinking BCH is BTC, there's little doubt left that he's just an extremely greed-driven individual, on the indomitable quest for even more money.

"Why Does the Media Keep Referring to Ver as "Bitcoin Jesus"?"

He is Jesus.  Don't you like to be referred to by your proper name?

[aziie110]

The Bitcoin cryptocurrency has no use or will not increase in value to dominate the financial world unless it is used like the physical currencies, Roger Ver is one of the only top investors in this field who is funding startups to use bitcoin as a form of a transaction instead of the usual currencies,

[kinhdolaos]

Perhaps Roger Ver paid them to declare him "Bitcoin Jesus". His name changed to "Bitcoin Judas"

[Images21]

The media has mostly been wrong not just about Bitcoin and crypto but also about who's which or what? I agree that Bitcoin is Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash is nothing but a splinter. It is an alternate cryptocurrency. I am not underestimating altcoins but Bitcoin is always and will always be on top of all cryptos. And I really do not find it good to the entire crypto economy that Bitcoin Cash is promoting itself by trying to destroy Bitcoin's reputation. There is no Bitcoin Core, there is only Bitcoin. Those that have Bitcoin in their names are not Bitcoin and will never become one.

[dutchkay]

I believe that what is happening is simply a thug of war between greedy parties. Who knows the kind of agreement that the reached in order to get control over bitcoin. Maybe his ideals are not bought over by his team again and because he have money he walked away to develop his hoping to kill the real bitcoin. All i know is that when elephants fight the grass will be the ones to suffer, so am staying very far and watching from the sidelines.

[rodel caling]

What?Satoshi Nakamoto is the one and only Bitcoin Jesus.Some ignorant journalists,who don`t know anything about bitcoin`s history(and can`t make the difference between bitcoin core and bitcoin cash) just wrote down some low quality ignorant posts about Ver.
Perhaps Roger Ver had paid them to proclaim him as the "Bitcoin Jesus".
Anyway,the average newbies just don`t know the difference between BTC and BCH.Perhaps a lot of them will be fooled to believe that BCH is the real bitcoin.

I really agree with you buddy media want to penetrate ignorant people using news propaganda about bitcoin core and bitcoin cash, i do not trust roger ver reputation becuase he want to change the reality bitcoiin is in the place as king but he want to kicking out bitcoin in their place as king of cryptocurrency replacing bch.

[Ahimoth]

He doesn't! He's stated several times that "Bitcoin Cash is the Real Bitcoin." No, its not. That's why the symbol for bitcoin is BTC and the symbol for Bitcoin Cash is BCH.

This is why I love you morons.  You think that because the symbol 'BTC' - therefore real.  What a brilliant conclusion.  Go read the whitepaper dumbass.  Bitcoin Cash is the real Bitcoin.  Maybe one day lightning will be interesting and functional.  But it isn't Bitcoin.

Well I think the reason is that Ver is the pioneer of this system and he helped bitcoin to be known all over the world. He started something for bitcoin because he saw something with the system that can really help us. He deserved to be recognized and that's the reason why I think that other people are praising him for what he have done.

[nutildah]

Thanks CNBC 



Well I guess Rog needs something to be happy about these days.
