Roger Ver Accuses U.S. of Attacking Bitcoin

Summary:

Roger Ver, a prominent figure in the cryptocurrency space and an early supporter of Bitcoin Cash, has accused the U.S. government of actively working to undermine Bitcoin since 2011. He claims that an increase in media coverage of Bitcoin coincided with the appearance of bots on the Bitcointalk.org forum, suggesting a deliberate effort to disrupt Bitcoin's growth. In an interview, Ver stated that forum shutdowns were part of a strategy to impede Bitcoin adoption by hindering communication and information dissemination. Ver's claims shed light on the challenges faced by the cryptocurrency sector and the complex relationship between developers, users, and regulators. Recently, Ver was arrested in Spain at the request of the U.S. Department of Justice and is facing charges of tax evasion and mail fraud.
