For the famous entrepreneur and investor, it is Ethereum that promotes the adhesion of many new users to cryptos. The promoter of Bitcoin Cash (BCH) snubs bitcoin and highlights the strengths of ether, a digital currency in which he places hopes.
Roger Ver admiring Ethereum and its impressive features
Very well known in the cryptocurrency industry, the one nicknamed Bitcoin Jesus was a guest on the May 31 episode of the Show Me The Crypto podcast. A new opportunity for Roger Ver to share his ideas and opinions with cryptophiles after his recent statement on dogecoin and bitcoin.
At the turn of the discussion, Mr. Ver made it known that it is Ethereum which will drive the most new users to adopt cryptos, much to the chagrin of Bitcoin. “Even though ether doesn’t have the largest market capitalization compared to bitcoin, I think ethereum is the leader in terms of global adoption,” he said.
To justify his position, the entrepreneur highlights the rise of Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible blockchains. He also points to Layer 2 or Layer 2 scaling solutions like Polygon offered by Ethereum. For Roger Ver, these assets of the blockchain make all the difference, because they promote the adoption of cryptos.
Bitcoin: the big loser?
Roger Ver who has discussed several topics in the podcast, also gave cryptophiles a little history lesson. The “Jesus of bitcoin” recounts the “civil war” that took place in the early days of Bitcoin and pitted Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin against leading Bitcoin developers.
The dispute was mainly about disagreements over the use of smart contracts. These discrepancies will push Vitalik Buterin to slam the door and develop Ethereum.
“All of this would have been built on top of Bitcoin if not for the civil war that occurred. These core bitcoin developers hate Vitalik, and they basically kicked him out of the project to create Ethereum, and gave him more power for that,” he said.
Bitcoin or Ethereum: which of the two will lead more people to adopt cryptocurrencies? If despite the latest Ethereum network failures, the blockchain is Roger Ver’s favorite, very clever who can answer this question, when we know that the cryptosphere is made up of surprises, uncertainties and reversals of situations.
