The “Bitcoin Jesus” has suddenly appeared on Twitter to declare that Dogecoin has the potential to vie to be among the top leading cryptocurrency in the world.
The “Bitcoin Jesus” Returns But Now Strongly Backs Dogecoin Over Bitcoin
Roger Ver was one of those that invested and strongly supported Bitcoin in its early years and due to his strong advocacy, he was given the nickname “Bitcoin Jesus.” After being silent on twitter for a year, he has returned again to show his strong support for Dogecoin as he declared that it is a better payment means than the first coin, Bitcoin.
While speaking with Bloomberg, Roger explained that he took interest in the memecoin, DOGE, as a result of its speedy transaction records and cheap fees. He described DOGE to be better, inexpensive and more dependable than BTC. he said if he were to choose three coins that he thinks would do well in the strive to dominate the crypto space, he would definitely pick Dogecoin, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash.
While the founder of Bitcoin.com was being interviewed, he ceased the moment to shout out to the CEO of Dogecoin, Elon Musk, for being the new owner of Twitter. He said he is glad that Elon Musk has started calling out censorship and he believes that Dogecoin would make Twitter more enticing.
Even though he initially casted his vote for Bitcoin for many years, he now a strong advocate of Bitcoin Cash (BCH), an altcoin which branched off from Bitcoin due to the disagreement on the block size.
He Is Not Interested In BCH but Encourages Others to Use It
In March, a video clip that covered Roger and his staff while they were urging Saint-Martin’s cab drivers, retail merchants and passersby to invest in Bitcoin Cash as their medium of payment surfaced on his YouTube channel.
Roger described BCH as the real picture of Bitcoin that Satoshi Nakamoto wanted to create. Even though he strongly encourages others to invest in the crypto, it is quite amazing that he himself is not really interested in the coin.
He said he is still very much a crypto whale with a portfolio consisting of a wide variety of crypto but he is not and does not intend to be a maximalist of BTC or BCH.
His first post after his return was focused on the first principles of crypto and his second post on twitter on April 28 focused on his hiatus. He commented that Bitcoin may lose its non-custodial wallet functionality to exchanges that provide their customers with custodial wallets.
He concluded that anonymity and users’ total control over their wallet are the things that differentiate Bitcoin from banks and other financial settings.
