In 2018, non-financial media actively discussed reports that the creator of bitcoin himself was disappointed with it and decided to sell all his bitcoins. However, it turned out that it was not about the bitcoin founder, but about the owner of the bitcoin.com domain, Roger Vera, who expressed doubts about the prospects of bitcoin and sold off his cryptocurrency stock. Instead, he invested all of his funds in Bitcoin Cash, believing it to be a more promising asset.
A popular comment on Reddit r/bitcoin on May 6, 2018 accused Roger Ver, owner of bitcoin.com, of creating Bitcoin Cash in order to scam people and disdain real bitcoiners.
Now it has become clear that Roger Ver had important information about bitcoin and decided to reveal it to the world with his book "Capturing Bitcoin: The Hidden History of BTC". In this book, he offers an alternative viewpoint on the development and history of bitcoin, supported by the ideas of economist Jeffrey Tucker. The book is available for pre-order on Amazon and its official release is scheduled for April 4, 2024.
The book discusses various aspects of bitcoin, including the basics of the cryptocurrency, the debate over its role as a medium of exchange and store of value, and the challenges of scaling and the Lightning network.
Vera and Tucker believe that bitcoin was intended to free the world from centralized control of money, but that ideal was undermined from within when a group of insiders took over the project.
According to Amazon, Vera's book is ranked number one in the Economics category, indicating a lot of interest in this exposé. We can only wait to see what sensational details will be revealed in the book and how many times Bitcoin Cash will be mentioned in it.
