Video was added but doesn't add much to the discussion... OKCoin's guy has a very wierd English Cheesy I guess we'll hear more about this soon either from OKCoin or Roger Ver

I just saw the entire video and nothing happens, Roger Ver is just talking to the chinese guy about how they fraudilently used his signature and they owe him a lot of money. It's funny how the xinese guy keeps spitting on Roger Ver's face accidentally while trying to speak english.

My money's on the American.  He looks badass.

Is Roger still american?
I think he already renounced it sometime last year.
I believe his new nationality is Saint Kitts & Nevis.Probably bought it from Jeff Berwick. Grin

Some people are saying the latest price action is attributed to something going on over there.. Any thoughts?

it could be anything, there were numerous akin pump in the previous range, pretty much like it is happening right now, normal market movements

bears in mind that we did touch 500 prior the dump, so they are trying to return to that value

Doesn't look like anything special, just a discussion probably a heated one because the Bitcoin community is really excited and confrontational about how Bitcoin should develop and scale. I think Roger Ver would win in a fight, it seems he has been doing ju jitsu for years lol.

Can very well be speculation over the outcome that is expected from this. Although, price seemed to be moving before again already.

As for the body language, I guess anybody who is passionate about their ideas and beleives will show this extensively using body language. Nothing too dramatic probably.

Where is this exactly happening btw? Is this somewhat related to the block size conference?

It's being held at the Hong Kong Cyberport in Hong Kong's Cyberport district. The website page with its location and details about is here.

https://scalingbitcoin.org/hongkong2015/

If you're in Hong Kong the address it's being held in is:

Scaling Bitcoin Workshop
Hong Kong Cyberport
Function Rooms, 3/F., Core E, Cyberport 3
100 Cyberport Road, Hong Kong

There's much debate about the block size going on at the scaling conference. You can find information about some of the discussion in this Coindesk story about the conference.

Depends, we cannot really say what they're talking abput though. Roger Ver plus Antonopoulos is more badass compared to Ver alone. Where is this exactly happening btw? Is this somewhat related to the block size conference?

Interesting, those conversations were quite heated i'd imagine. Though both are obviously clued up enough to know not to cause a stir in public.

Here's a pic of them having a discussion:



Scaling Bitcoin in Hong Kong is going on right now and lots of big names in bitcoin are attending. Recently photos have come up that have Roger Ver and Star Xu having a showdown, presumably over their prior dispute over the bitcoin.com contract that Ver leased to Xu.

Any body language experts can see what this means?




It looks like in the end it was quite amicable though Smiley
