Early Bitcoin (BTC) investor and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) advocate Roger Ver claimed that Ethereum, not Bitcoin, will be responsible for driving the bulk of new users towards crypto.
On a May 31 episode of the Show Me The Crypto podcast, Ver — labeled “Bitcoin Jesus” for his early Bitcoin advocacy — said that despite Ethereum’s scaling issues and the other layer-one “clones” that have popped up in its wake, the Ethereum ecosystem is still where the action is:
"ទោះបីជា Ethereum មិនមានទីផ្សារធំបំផុតបើប្រៀបធៀបទៅនឹង Bitcoin ខ្ញុំគិតថា Ethereum គឺជាអ្នកនាំមុខគេទាក់ទងនឹងការជំរុញការអនុម័តទូទាំងពិភពលោក។"
Ver praised the rise of Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible (EVM) blockchains and layer-2 scaling solutions such as Polygon (MATIC) that can help share some of the load away from the main chain.
Ver provides an account of the “civil war” that occurred in the early days of Bitcoin between Etheruem’s co-founder Vitalik Buterin and Bitcoin core developers.
Disagreements over the use of smart contracts and moving away from the idea of blockchains being used purely as currency or stores of value eventually drove Buterin to develop Ethereum, Ver noted:
"អ្វីៗទាំងអស់នឹងត្រូវបានបង្កើតឡើងនៅលើកំពូលនៃ Bitcoin ប្រសិនបើមិនមែនសម្រាប់សង្គ្រាមស៊ីវិលដែលបានកើតឡើង។ អ្នកអភិវឌ្ឍន៍ស្នូល Bitcoin ទាំងនេះស្អប់ Vitalik ហើយពួកគេជាមូលដ្ឋានបណ្តេញគាត់ចេញពីគម្រោងដើម្បីទៅបង្កើត Ethereum និងថាមពលកាន់តែច្រើនសម្រាប់គាត់។
Ver also spoke on the recent Ledger debate, calling the controversial Recover service “disappointing.” He said while it’s fine for people to have custodial accounts and choose to recover their keys if they wish, the ethos of crypto is centered on having full control of your assets at all times.

In January, Ver was sued by a trading unit of the crypto lending firm Genesis for failing to pay some $20.8 million in unsettled crypto options.
Ver claimed in a January Reddit post that he had “sufficient funds” to pay the outstanding sum and argued that because Genesis was no longer solvent he was not legally required to uphold his end of the deal.

Last year, Ver made headlines for allegations of defaulting on a debt. CoinFLEX CEO Mark Lamb claimed Ver owed the firm $47 million USD Coin (USDC) and was bound by a written contract. On June 28, Ver denied these claims without directly mentioning the company.
