Topic: Roger Ver to be sued for defrauding bitcoin newbies. - page 20. (Read 3146 times)

The honourable thing for Ver would be to surrender and transfer the bitcoin.com domain to the team behind bitcoin.org

I hope this forces Ver to reflect back on his actions and look at how people perceive it. Say what you want about what is signed into law and all, but this IS misleading. It is not fair to new people, especially the ones who might have bought fake bitcoin a week ago when the fake mooned and has predictably dumped now.

Ver is a Judas to BTC and BCH. He needs to keep his emotions in line if he wants BTC or BCH to go anywhere and stop being so goddamn deceptive.

And if this is considered "legal" by the courts, I think a lot of people will sell some fake coin and call it bitcoin to screw newbies. Despite how everything is defined legally, anyone can clearly see this is fraudulent
 

What if a newbie buys Bitcoin Cash and then believing it to be Bitcoin? What if Bitcoin Cash crashes and Bitcoin climbs to $100,000 with the newbie thinking he struck gold?

Do you agree with Roger Ver's way of representing Bitcoin Cash in his site? Do you believe it's right?

NO ONE should own bitcoin
the bitcoin brand is decentralised. no one has ownership

meaning core do not either

bitcoin core is not 'the only' bitcoin

the community decide what they personally hold in their pocket is cash or core, and only in common terms of talking to others in the same
currency do they abreviate it. but it does not mean the other side cant use the same common abreviation terms aswell

its best explained like this

dollars
no country owns dollars.
there is canadian dollars
there is australian dollars
there is american dollars

an american can for the simplicity of common conversation say that what they have in their pockets are dollars.
bit the reality is they have american dollars in their pocket
but in no way does it mean an american can claim that australia/canada dont have/use dollars

a canadian can for the simplicity of common conversation say that what they have in their pockets are dollars.
bit the reality is they have canadian dollars in their pocket
but in no way does it mean a canadian can claim that american/australian dont have/use dollars

an australian can for the simplicity of common conversation say that what they have in their pockets are dollars.
bit the reality is they have australian dollars in their pocket
but in no way does it mean an australian can claim that america/canada dont have/use dollars

Indeed, users should obviously do due diligence before making any investments, but there is a problem: it doesn't simply end with a lesson to be learn for newbies, it will have an impact on your Bitcoin holdings.

When a ton of newbies get tricked into buying BCash thinking they are buying Bitcoin through Roger Ver's sources of massive traffic, the price pumps, generating an incentive for Bitcoin miners to go mine BCash while the pump lasts. As a result the Bitcoin price may go down as the hashrate moves from Bitcoin to BCash to profit from the pump, and im not willing to tolerate this bullshit for any longer. I don't want these idiots to be juggling to Bitcoin's hashrate around whenever Ver pumps BCash. The twitter and Bitcoin.com sites need to be obliterated.

I was a bitcoin enthusiast and had kept bitcoins in a ledger where it forked and gave me my "freebies" BCH. I was a hater of Roger until I realized that BCH is healthy, it keeps the balance between sheep and the real bitcoin supporters. I don't give a fuck to those who were fooled by Roger or being mislead by bitcoin.com; They awesomely deserved it - I always tell my peers that if they want to get into bitcoins they should do a lot of reading first, the sheep will always buy what is trending without even understanding it's use or what is it all about.

And hey you know what? these so called "mislead newbies" are the ones who had sold their bitcoins in January that's why the price went down rapidly. So hey now you better ask yourself if is it really worth to sue Roger Ver.

I used to hate Roger Ver, you may read all my posts in November or December of last year... but it's better to think for yourselves rather than being emotional between the rivalry of these two coins. You may HATE Roger Ver but I don't think filing a lawsuit against him is justice; Like everyone of us, he wants to make money - and if you will only open your mind, he has opened an opportunity for me and you to become rich as long as you know how to ride the waves... buy BCH while it is sleeping, then sell it during pumps. I learned it the hard way. BCH is an awesome pump and dump coin... you better deal with it!

it was a bilateral split not a unilateral split..

with or without LN makes no matter, bitcoin cash is obsolete NOW and always. increasing the block size didn't make a difference. it just created an illusion of solving the scaling issue and that illusion seemed correct only because nobody was even using BCH and blocks only had a dozen transactions in them unlike bitcoin with ~2000 tx per block.

It would be a great achievement if he were forced to give up the domain, just highly unlikely. The creator of the original Bitcoin would probably not show up in Court and claim the domain.

Extradition is something not being discussed here, not crime has been proven but there is nothing stopping Ver being sued regardless of where he resides.

The key has to be to get the bitcoin.com domain off him and for that to happen the "Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy" has to be raised at the WIPO (the World Intellectual Property Organisation). They can award domain name ownership to whichever party they deem should have it.

About potential lawsuits, any legal team in any city in the US can serve notice to Ver or anyone else regardless of where he/they live.

How can he win? There is nothing in the Bitcoin Whitepaper that refer to Bitcoin as Bitcoin Core, so that in itself is misrepresentation. He is using www.Reddit.com/r/BTC as a platform to promote Bitcoin Cash and that is your next misrepresentation.

The guy is a scumbag and a snake oil salesman and he needs his day in court.

Let him use his money for something constructive and not for sabotaging Bitcoin
