Roger Ver: 'Undercover US Government Agents Go on LocalBitcoins and Arrest People'

"Because the supply of Bitcoin was limited, as more and more people demanded to start using it as money, the price would have to go up and go up a lot."

Roger was seen as the "Bitcoin Jesus," strongly advocating for the Bitcoin Core philosophy, until November 2017, when he proclaimed that Bitcoin Cash was "The real Bitcoin," with "Bigger market cap, trade volume and user base in the future."

"If you look at it objectively, Bitcoin Cash is the same version of Bitcoin described in the Bitcoin white paper."

"And the thing that everyone is calling Bitcoin in the media today - it has the name 'Bitcoin' but it doesn't have any of the characteristics that made Bitcoin popular to begin with and it doesn't have most of the entrepreneurs that made Bitcoin popular to begin with."

Catherine Ross: A lot of people considered you the so-called Bitcoin Jesus.

In Roger's opinion, even Bitcoin Cash is not a perfect version of peer-to-peer cash, and there's "Always room to improve anything in the world."

"And Bitcoin - BTC - is not guaranteed to be the winner in the end. Neither is Bitcoin Cash. And if something better comes along, [something] that brings more economic freedom to the world and has the ability to give more people more control of their own finances, I will gladly promote that."

Literally have secret undercover government agents going on LocalBitcoins, trying to buy Bitcoins from people.

When they sell them the Bitcoins, they arrest the people and toss them in jail for years.

Shame on the U.S. for doing that sort of thing! No civilized country would lock people in jail for years for selling Bitcoin to another person who wants to buy it because they didn't get permission from some politician.
