Roger Ver slams Bitcoin against BCH

One of Bitcoin's earliest adopters and supporterscalled "Bitcoin Jesus" because many people "defected" to the BTC hard fork, Bitcoin Cash, at his behest in 2017has taken to Twitter to take another quiet jab at Bitcoin.

Ver tweeted that peer-to-peer electronic cash is much more useful to the world than simply digital gold.

Roger Ver believes that Bitcoin no longer follows its original target of being peer-to-peer digital cash, as creator Satoshi Nakamoto described it in the Bitcoin whitepaper back in 2008, and has turned into another investment asset class now often referred to as "digital gold."

Therefore, Ver began supporting and promoting Bitcoin Cash, which he believes to be the real peer-to-peer currency that the world desperately needs.

Peer to peer electronic cash helps the world more than digital gold.
