History is the final judge of a man's action, and history has absolved Roger.
Bitcoin Core asserted complete control of Bitcoin, squatted it for many years and drove it into the ground. They said "blockchain is not a democracy" and "this is a pure technical issue".
I was a core Bitcoin dev from 2010-2015. The 'tech issue' was very simple that even your grandmother could understand.
They censored and forced their views. Why not let the community decide?
Because they would have to respect their users. They would have to listen to people. They would have to explain why. They would have to compete in a free market.
Instead what we have now is small block Bitcoin communism. The people in charge are doing a shit job and should be fired. Bitcoin needs new forward looking leadership. I long left the community in anger over the cringey influencers squatting on Bitcoin.
The SEC targets crypto people. We need to stand firm together as a shield wall and defend every person.
It's psyop when people say "Roger did this or that to me". Cry harder. We all had fights years ago and even Roger sued me for $2m, but that doesn't matter now since we are all libertarians and must stick together. Crypto is under attack. We lost the battle, but not the war. Time to regroup and win the victory of 2025.
On all sides impostors are sucking money from retail with scams. The current leaders in crypto have betrayed the vision of what crypto should have been. As Satoshi said: "we can win a major battle in the arms race and gain a new territory of freedom for several years."
We need unity, not division among libertarians so we can win. We need all our people out of jail: Ross, Roman, Roger.
Roger's been vindicated by history. The impostors to the throne are driven in shame from the world stage. Time to take back crypto.
Roger Ver is facing life in prison for revealing how the US government worked secretly to subvert cryptocurrency and prevent economic freedom. More people should hear this story.
