    Roger Ver Files Motion to Dismiss Justice Department Indictment

The motion to dismiss coincides with a shifting regulatory environment, as the U.S. government, incl...

    Cryptocurrency entrepreneur Roger Ver, also known as "Bitcoin Jesus," has been released on bail in Spain after posting a €150,000 bail. According to a Bloomberg report, Ver was permitted to leave jail May 17, on condition that he hand in his passport and remain in Spain pending a decision on his extradition to the U.S., where he faces $50 million tax evasion charges. Ver must also report to court every two days. Ver was arrested by Spanish authorities in April, after the U.S. Department of Justi...

    Illustration by Mitchell Preffer for Decrypt Crypto Twitter often delivers a heavy helping of the law, but the past seven days brought a double dose.  On Monday, unredacted portions of a lawsuit filed by Ethereum software company Consensys against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) revealed that the regulator has secretly considered ETH to be a security for over a year.  The bombshell news quickly sparked anger and indignation, given the fact that SEC Chair Gary Gensler has repeat...

  • What is Bitcoin Cash?

    Bitcoin was designed so that no one group or person could control it. Bitcoin’s decentralized design has many advantages, but things can get tricky when there are disagreements with the community about the best way forward. Such disagreements have led to more than 100 Bitcoin forks. Not all of those forks have led to new networks, but of those that have, Bitcoin Cash is probably the best known. What is Bitcoin Cash? Bitcoin Cash is a modified version of Bitcoin that runs on its own blockchain ne...

    Co-founder of the troubled crypto exchange CoinFLEX Mark Lamb issued an open letter to Bitcoin evangelist and Bitcoin Cash promoter Roger Ver offering him an “olive branch” of “two years of free trading on OPNX,” a newly-launched claims exchange co-founded by Lamb.  The “olive branch” refers to ending a longstanding feud between the two, which would see Ver pay back an alleged outstanding loan to CoinFLEX.  In June last year, Lamb accused Ver of defaulting on a $47 million loan. At the time, Ver...

    'Bitcoin Jesus' Comes Back to Twitter, Says He Likes Dogecoin

    In his life, Roger Ver has been known for his full-throated support of only two cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin and, later, Bitcoin Cash. His enthusiasm and evangelism for crypto in its earliest days earned him the nickname "Bitcoin Jesus." Now he's touting the merits of Dogecoin. The revelation came about when Ver came out of social media hibernation on Tuesday to praise Elon Musk's bid to buy Twitter. Before that, the Bitcoin OG hadn't tweeted for a year. In a subsequent interview with Bloomberg, Ve...

    This libertarian Bitcoin trader wants to build a city on the sea

    Chad Elwartowski, an American software engineer turned Bitcoin trader, is one of the leading lights of the "seasteading" movement—a libertarian drive to build independent floating cities on the high seas. Right now,  he's constructing a prototype for “the world’s first 3D-printed, smart, floating home,” off the Caribbean coast of Panama. A prior effort, in Thailand, was towed off by the Thai navy in 2019. Chad Elwartowski at his home in Panama. Image: Chad Elwatowski Interest in seasteading is e...

He told Decrypt that only, approximately, 10% of staff had been let go as a result of the economic crisis.  “Bitcoin.com had 84 people as of April 30 2019 and now we have 76 people in April 2020,” said Ver. “There were some layoffs, but absolutely nothing like what is being reported by the trolls online.” Bitcoin.com founder Roger Ver blames "Bcash" trolls for the misinform...
