Introduction to Roger Ver

Roger Ver, also known as "Bitcoin Jesus," has been a prominent figure in the cryptocurrency space, particularly in the early days of Bitcoin. He has been an avid supporter and investor in various cryptocurrency projects, including Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, and XRP.

Background and Involvement in Cryptocurrency

Ver bought his first Bitcoin when they were worth around $1 each. He was one of the first investors in the cryptocurrency space and has been involved in the launch of several successful projects, including:

  • Blockchain.com: Initially invested in blockchain.info, which later split into Blockchain.com and Coinbase.
  • BitPay: A company that allows businesses to accept Bitcoin payments.
  • XRP (Ripple): Was the second person involved in the project and paid for its launch.
  • Zcoin (now known as Firo): Invested in the project.

Current Situation and Lawsuit

Ver is currently facing a lawsuit from the U.S. government for tax evasion, which he claims is a "pack of lies" and a form of political lawfare. He believes the Biden administration has been hostile towards cryptocurrency and is being targeted for his advocacy of peer-to-peer electronic cash.

Outlook on Cryptocurrency

Ver remains bullish on cryptocurrency, citing its potential for economic growth and the importance of censorship-resistant money. He believes that the current administration's stance on crypto is positive and could lead to significant growth in the industry.

Specific Cryptocurrency Projects

Ver is interested in projects that offer privacy and censorship resistance, such as:

  • Zeno: A project that allows for private transactions and has a gas token called ZANO.
  • Confidential Layer: A decentralized, permissionless bridge that enables private transactions on Bitcoin and other EVM chains.
  • Solana: A blockchain platform that has shown significant growth and adoption despite concerns about centralization.

Call to Action

Ver urges the public to speak out against lawfare and support those who are being targeted by the government for their involvement in cryptocurrency. He invites people to visit freeroger.now and sign the petition to stop lawfare against him and others.
