I hope stackers can avoid being triggered by this defense of Roger Ver. Yes, he's a shitcoiner, but he's also being unjustly prosecuted by the US government. This Tom Woods episode has me thinking about the timing of his arrest, just after publication of his book attacking bitcoin. Coincidence?

The timing feels way too convenient, almost like a strategic move to silence or discredit him right when his criticisms are hitting the public stage.

Do you know who is Roger Ver and what he did?

Is not a coincidence... but think about this: RV was used by the gov to do everything he did (attacking Bitcoin) and this arrest is just another way to make him disappeared... this is how govs play with their patsies.
Remember my post about Silk Road leads to Samourai? #520773 Is linked with Roger Ver case. How? the key point: the gov playing them all, using them against Bitcoin as manipulative puppets.

Yes. And now do you think the US is helping promote and empower Saylor and BlackRock and their new "compliance bitcoin"?
reply
Yes, they will make him "king of onboarding big companies", building so called BTC banks. Same old story: give me your real money (in the past was gold), now is BTC and I will give you this nice IOU token...
I will not be surprised to see a biblical "hack" of Coinbase, like it was with MtGox, Bitfinex and others inside jobs, just to grab more BTC from people and push them back into tokens. Is just a matter of time until Coinbase will be "hacked" (aka inside job).
Sometimes you have to make few steps back and try to see the big picture, not only what the news is feeding us...

I have to read more about this connection.

To give you more clues... listen the fascinating story of ANOM. It explain very well how govs agencies are using these patsies
