Roger Ver on What’s Next for Him and Bitcoin

Posted by Joël Valenzuela | Jul 24, 2017 | Interview |

Early Bitcoin investor Roger Ver was known for his involvement in the first startups in the space. Later, he became a pivotal figure in the great scaling debate, a hero to one side and a supervillain to the other. I sat down with Ver to discuss his future plans now that a scaling agreement has been reached, as well as the key reasons he got into, and remains active in, Bitcoin.

I wonder if the teaser Roger mentions at 16:40 is decentralised prediction markets on bitcoin hivemind. It’s now possible post segwit. https://bitedge.com/blog/prediction-markets-are-about-to-be-a-big-deal/

this was a great discussion you to are incredible guys. keep up the good work. I am only 14 years old but Roger Ver is my financial Hero. I just wish that I had enough money to buy into bit coin. I was told that I can’t get a student work permit until next year when i’m 16. I really want to get in now. I need to be in now. I will eventually get into bitcoin, but by the time I do in 16 more months when I turn 16 it will be too late huh?
