The stunning political persecution of Roger Ver (aka Bitcoin Jesus) persists.The question is WHY? Bitcoin started as a super nerdy, crypto-currency subculture with a shadowy origin story and cult-like following who fervently believed that Bitcoin would save the world. It was interesting and perhaps lucrative for gamers and computer buffs but not necessarily relevant to regular people.Fast forward to 2024 and Bitcoin has emerged as a MAJOR player in global markets and geo-politics. It seems like the power elites are ALL in on BITCOIN as a vehicle to devour wealth, consolidate power, end the sovereign debt crisis and wage currency wars.

In this final episode of the year for The Free Thought Project Podcast, hosts Jason and Matt sit down once again with Aaron Day, a fearless advocate for freedom, sound money, and individual sovereignty. Aaron is an entrepreneur, author, and political activist with over 25 years of experience in fighting government overreach. As the author of The Final Countdown: Crypto, Gold, and the Anarcho-Capitalist Revolution, Aaron has spent his career championing decentralized systems, parallel networks, and privacy-focused solutions to counter the parasitic control of the state. With his deep understanding of economics, cryptocurrency, and agorism, Aaron is a leading voice in the fight against financial tyranny. This week, Aaron joins us to discuss the shocking case of Roger Ver, the “Bitcoin Jesus,” who is currently fighting extradition to the U.S. under politically motivated charges. We dissect how Bitcoin was hijacked from its original purpose as a tool for financial freedom and explore the implications of the state's weaponization of the monetary system against its perceived enemies. Aaron shares insights into privacy coins, such as Monero and Zano, as tools for resisting tyranny and highlights how decentralized systems can render the old systems of control obsolete. We also delve into the bigger picture of financial tyranny, discussing how policies around CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies) and government overreach continue to erode individual freedom. Aaron offers practical solutions for how we can fight back—both individually and collectively—through parallel networks, agorism, and everyday resistance. Also, Aaron reminds us to visit freerogernow.org and sign the petition! As always, we wrap up on a positive note, reminding listeners that hope lies in action and that tools like privacy coins and decentralized systems can pave the way for a freer future. This episode is a powerful reminder that we are the answer to this tyranny—and the time to act is now.

This week is shaping up to be one of the most memorable in crypto history, with enormous story after enormous story unfolding. Firstly, we look at why Bitcoin took a sizeable hit in the past 24 hours, losing its $60,000 support and liquidating investors left and right. Then, we'll look at the ex-Binance CEO, Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, being sentenced to four months in prison, which is markedly shorter than most people expected. Elsewhere, “Bitcoin Jesus” is arrested and hit with an eye-watering tax bill. It's all happening in crypto, but Cointelegraph has got you covered.Further reading:Bitcoin price loses $60K support to hit 2-month lows‘Pretty ordinary stuff' — Traders seem unfazed by Bitcoin correction‘No signs' of Bitcoin miner capitulation despite plummeting revenueEx-Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao sentenced to four months in prisonUS Justice Dept charges Roger Ver with tax fraudCoinbase integrates Lightning Network for Bitcoin transactionsSo, grab yourself a coffee, and let's get into it!Rise'n'Crypto is brought to you by Cointelegraph and is hosted and produced by Robert Baggs.

You may know Roger Ver as “Bitcoin Jesus,” but he didn't give himself that nickname… and to be honest, he doesn't really like it. Roger is a Bitcoin pioneer who is the world's first investor in many Bitcoin startups including blockchain.com, Ripple, Z-Cash, BitPay and Kraken. Roger wants peer-to-peer cash that enables more economic freedom for the world, regardless of what the name of the coin is. -- Our first Podcast NFT Collection, "The First 100," has launched!

Bitcoin “evangelist” Roger Ver has said in at least one interview ... when he was a little boy, he wanted to be a garbage truck driver. That way, he could drive heavy machinery around his neighborhood and get to talk to everyone. Fast forward, to the recent past and Roger Ver actually DOES, talk to a LOT of folks…Just not while collecting their trash. He was instead promoting Bitcoin as the future of money and finance so much so that people started calling him “Bitcoin Jesus.” According to his website, he's one of the early investors in several BTC projects - including Kraken, purse.io, Blockchain.com, and Ripple. But in 2017, Ver switched his enthusiasm away from Bitcoin and more toward something called Bitcoin Cash - an offshoot of the original currency. Recently, Ver became entangled in the bankruptcy of crypto lender Genesis that says BTC Jesus owes millions of dollars on trades. So, what happens when Bitcoin Jesus speaks? Do people say ‘Hallelujah' or ‘deliver us from evil.' Bloomberg Reporter Olga Kharif joins host Vildana Hajric to discuss.

Wow! My mind is blown and I am sharing this with you on this episode! Bitcoin is expected to be a huge pump and dump. I believe everyone will be scammed and lose everything in crypto currency by the end of March as the banks have to make good on all silver and gold sales via certificate. They can't do it and will do bail ins in my humble opinion. I believe an event or false flag even will be used as the excuse and to divert attention until it happens. BOLO that! I searched something in my quest for spiritual knowledge after seeing some info that was interesting. Jesus is actually a slave ship of Queen Elizabeth I and slaves were brought to Europe from Africa in the mid 1500's. As you know, King James was a luciferian and Mason who had the bible written. The story of the Jesus ship was said to have been badly damaged and retired in Mexico. Jesus and Samson tried to raise Kin g Henry's flagship the Mary Rose and eventually in a battle near Vera Cruz was captured by Spanish forces. The ship was eventually sold for 601 ducats. This is similarly aligned to major details in the biblical account of Jesus, but they forgot to mention it was a ship instead of a man. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/chai-velocity/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/chai-velocity/support
Welcome to Episode 46 of The Halving Report! Bitcoin has experienced its 3rd block reward halving on May 11th 2020, and we’ve been experiencing an explosion of bitcoin and cryptocurrency prices ever since. There are still well over a 1000 days until we see Bitcoin halve again sometime in 2024. As of Saturday March 20th, 1 bitcoin sells for about $60,000.00 USD, or approximately $74,000.00 CAD. We can’t overstate how important today’s guest has been to the development of Bitcoin through seeding the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Although he has been nicknamed "Bitcoin Jesus," he is more like "Bitcoin Johnny Appleseed," as he invested millions of dollars into Bitcoin and Bitcoin start-ups as early as 2011. Roger Ver is the Founder and CEO of Bitcoin.com- which was one of the largest ever website domain purchases in history. Roger is a Bitcoin OG that now promotes Bitcoin Cash to accommodate the fast, low fee user experience Bitcoin once offered on its base layer. His modern narrative of Bitcoin, the very first and most popular cryptocurrency, combined with his OG status make him a controversial figure to say the least. Some of the things we ask him about include: - Roger's Proudest Achievements- Living the "Nomad Capitalist" life - The Most Crypto Friendly Nations- How Bitcoin undermines War - How Bitcoin Cash was started - Bitcoin Narrative Censorship - Best Critique of Bitcoin CashFollow Roger Ver:Twitter: @Rogerkver Instagram: @Rogerhttps://www.rogerver.com/Subscribe To The Halving Report Podcast:- iTunes: apple.co/39EnqmP- Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2SETKQY- YouTube: http://bit.ly/2vJMiuK- Twitter: https://twitter.com/halvingreport- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/halvingreport/- Website: https://thehalvingreport.com/- Podcast Website: http://www.halvingreport.buzzsprout.comSupport the show (http://thehalvingreport.com)

Bitcoin and cryptocurrency are unusual in their own right, but even in this already bizarre world, there are ideas and personalities on the weird end of the spectrum. Roger Ver, who is called "Bitcoin Jesus", is pitting his own Bitcoin Cash (or "BCash" if you're feisty) against Bitcoin Core. There are also the Bitcoin carnivores, who not only eschew central banking but the eating of fruits, vegetables, and "toxic grains".
Full video here:https://youtu.be/sCjL_W_g65Y At the 2018 Anarchapulco I happened to look over my shoulder and see Roger Ver aka Bitcoin Jesus walk by. He was gracious enough to grant me an impromptu interview with nothing more than my cell phone. Listen to a true OG in the space explain why he got into Bitcoin and what attracted him to Bitcoin Cash.

In this episode Nick and Justin go deep into the world of crypto currency which eventually leads them down the worm hole of our banking system and the history behind it.
Over the last few months, governments around the world have cracked down on bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. But one country is sticking to its crypto-friendly policies: Japan. This week on Decrypted, Bloomberg Technology's Yuji Nakamura and Aki Ito take you to Tokyo to meet the unlikely characters who helped turn Japan into the world's premier bitcoin hub, including investor Roger Ver, a.k.a. Bitcoin Jesus.
This week in Crypto Watch, Alan Kohler spoke to Roger Ver a.k.a. ‘Bitcoin Jesus’ - for his thoughts on Bitcoin versus Bitcoin Cash.
News: 1. Coinbase's Bitcoin Cash Market Is Back Online. Trading was halted abruptly last night after bitcoin cash, which broke away from the main bitcoin blockchain last month, was listed on GDAX.

Right now he has over $100 million dollars of private capital committed to this non-country. Money raised will be used to purchase a plot of land for the free society to operate. He has the hope of purchasing other pieces of land and continuing to grow his non-government led society.

Roger Ver, also known as “Bitcoin Jesus”, started his first company in Silicon Valley while still in college and made his first million before 25. Roger is a libertarian who has dedicated his life to the pursuit of getting individuals to interact outside the state system. He has been a relentless advocate for blockchain currency, pouring all his capital and energy into the startup. Also, Roger is currently working out the details of starting a non-government run country. Roger began turning away from government while in grade school. He was learning about the military draft in school and the idea of forcing individuals into fighting seemed backwards to him. He had read a book by libertarian Murray N. Rothbard who related the draft to kidnapping and slavery. Roger now defines government as “A small group of people that claim the right to use violence against peaceful people.” There shouldn’t be an exception for government. Other humans do not have the right to take our money or order others to kill people. Why should the government? Roger is currently starting a non-government run territory. This non-country will have no government, but instead will be run by principles of the Anarcho-Capitalism philosophy. Right now he has over $100 million dollars of private capital committed to this non-country. Money raised will be used to purchase a plot of land for the free society to operate. He has the hope of purchasing other pieces of land and continuing to grow his non-government led society. Michael finishes the conversation asking Roger, “Looking ahead, where do you see things evolving in the next five years? Will there be a rapid adoption of crypto currency? Are we potentially close to that?” In this episode of Trend Following Radio: Voluntarism Libertarianism Bitcoin in Tokyo Victimless crimes Morality Free Society

Secession is in the news again, and more than just Catalonia. Why is this good news? What's in the News with stories on a new libertarian country idea, police union outrage, Free Ross news, Equifax gets a government contract, Bill Weld shows his true colors, and body camera footage kept in the dark. Also, a Statists Gonna State segment on guns in America and a Herding Cats segment on two upcoming libertarian events. This episode is brought to you by Tom Woods's Liberty Classroom, helping you to become a smarter and more informed libertarian than ever before, for just 24 cents a day. WHAT'S RUSTLING MY JIMMIES After Brexit, there have been several secession movements pop up and several have actually made strides at breaking off from other countries. Sure, you've seen the news and the videos about the independence efforts in Catalonia, but have you heard about the recent movements in Cameroon and Kurdistan? Let's talk secession! WHAT'S IN THE NEWS In the new world news, Bitcoin Jesus, Roger Ver, is partnering with Olivier Janssens to create a new country, the world's first sovereign voluntaryist country. They have titled the project Free Society, and are looking to join forces with a willing government and purchase the territory from them. According to Jansenns, they have amassed over $100,000,000 dollars to create the country. In cockroaches hate the light news, the head of the Salt Lake Police Association has watched the country's outrage over the videos showing a nurse getting arrested for refusing to draw a man's blood without a warrant and has decided the correct response is to complain that the public got to see what its officers did. As an aside, sadly, William Gray, the truck driver who nurse Wubbels was protecting in this incident dies from the injuries he suffered in the crash. In Free Ross news, Ross Ulbricht has surrendered his claim to 144,336 BitCoins, or what amounts to $48 million to the Federal government through their civil asset forfeiture program. In I couldn't make this shit up news, the IRS will pay Equifax $7.25 million to verify taxpayer identities and help prevent fraud under a no-bid contract issued last week, even as lawmakers lash the embattled company about a massive security breach that exposed personal information of as many as 145.5 million Americans. In I told you so news, lifetime member of the Libertarian Party and the OG libertarian (according to Gary Johnson anyway) Bill Weld will be heading up a big fundraising event in Cambridge, MA for... the state Republican Party. And he is throwing his support to GOP US Senate candidate Beth Lindstrom and Governor Charlie Baker in the 2018 election. He will join Baker, Mitt Romney, and Jane Swift as the featured draw by the state Republican Party, which is looking to use its former leaders to raise money. In watching the watchers news, North Carolina lawmakers have made is much more difficult to investigate our rulers by passing a bill exempting body camera footage from public records requests. The law put law enforcement agencies and judges in charge of deciding what footage may be released. STATISTS GONNA STATE As you're all aware, there was another horrific mass shooting recently, this time in Las Vegas that took the lives of 59 people. I honestly have no desire to go over the specifics of this situation because there are plenty of shows that have discussed it and there is so much news out about it. However, as usual, there were immediate calls for banning guns when this happened. Hillary Clinton blamed silencers yet no silencers were used. Everyone screamed to ban automatic rifles although those have been banned for decades and there also was no automatic weapon used in this case. Washington state is proposing a bill that would ban most purchases of military-style weapons — such as semi-automatic AR-15 rifles — and outlaw large capacity magazines. Magazines would be limited to 10 rounds of ammunition or less. Even in New Hampshire, a Democratic representative is calling for banning bump stocks. So, let's look at some hard facts about guns in America. HERDING CATS Two awesome liberty events are coming up in February almost back to back, including one of my favorite liberty events of the year.

Roger Ver has been a long time proponent of voluntaryism, the idea that all human interactions should be by mutual consent, or not at all. He is most well known for his work promoting Bitcoin. In 2011, his company, Memorydealers.com, became the first mainstream company to start accepting bitcoin as payment. He then went on to create Bitcoinstore.com, the first website in the world to accept bitcoin as payment for hundreds of thousands of items, and was the impetus for the future wave of merchant adoption. He also became the first person in the entire world to start investing in Bitcoin startups. Nearly single-handedly, he funded the seed rounds for the entire first generation of Bitcoin businesses. In his earlier life, he was most influenced by the works of Murray Rothbard, but was also inspired by the likes of Fredric Bastiat, Henry Hazlitt, Leonard Read, Frederick Hayek, Adam Smith, Milton Friedman, David Friedman, and many others in the Austrian school of economic thought.

Hello, welcome to episode 39 of The Bitcoin Game. I'm Rob Mitchell. Odds are, if you are into Bitcoin, then you know Roger Ver, a.k.a. Bitcoin Jesus. And you possibly are aware that Roger is a huge proponent of increasing Bitcoin's maximum block size as soon as possible. But he's not just talking about it, he's taking action, as you'll hear. Roger is certainly a doer, and besides all the Bitcoin companies Roger is involved with, he's done things like donate over $150,000 to Ross Ulbrect's legal defense fund, and offer $250,000 to the charity of Bernie Sanders' choosing, in exchange for debating Adam Kokesh (for the ultimate socialist vs. voluntaryist debate). Aside from hearing Roger's take on scaling Bitcoin, we cover a number of subjects, including how much Roger earned from his first Steemit post (it's a lot!). Roger even lets us in on his Bitcoin gut check a few weeks ago, when he sold some of his Bitcoin and bought a prominent privacy-oriented cryptocurrency (listen to find out which one). It was a real treat to have him on the show. Stay tuned to the very end of the podcast for a blessing from Bitcoin Jesus. I will be giving away a Bitcoin Keychain to someone who comments on the show notes page for this episode: https://letstalkbitcoin.com/blog/post/the-bitcoin-game-39-roger-ver SHOW LINKS Bitcoin.com Roger's Twitter RogerVer.com Free Talk Live Blockchain.info Gavin Andresen Monero Dash Zcash Roger's first post on Steemit Coincap.io Eric Voorhees Trace Mayer Ira Miller Charlie Shrem MAGIC WORD Stay tuned for the magic word in this episode, and submit it to your LTB Network account to claim a share of this week's distribution of LTBCoin.

Imagine selling store-bought firecrackers on eBay, along with many others, but because of your political stance being singled out and imprisoned for 10 months. It might make a person consider alternative life options. Maybe that's why, almost singlehandedly, Roger Ver funded the seed rounds for the entire first generation of Bitcoin businesses. In this week's episode, we talk to Roger about just how far BTC has come and how you can actually use it today. We also discuss the decision to renounce his US citizenship. Enjoy.
Welcome back to Venture Studio and welcome back to our fascinating two-part interview with Bitcoin Jesus, Roger Ver. We pick up part 2 right after Roger described how and why he renounced his US citizenship. Dave kicks off episode two on the same thread, asking Roger about the repercussions of his actions and beliefs, including a stint in federal prison. After discussing the justice system and unauthorized explosive sales, we reel it back to bitcoin by digging into blockchain, fixed supply and some predictions for 2016.
We have a very special two-part episode coming at you starting this week. Our guests is Roger Ver, entrepreneur, bitcoin investor, bitcoin evangelist, and voluntaryist. If you think we're just going to talk about bitcoin on this episode, think again. Roger Ver, nicknamed “Bitcoin Jesus” is an interesting guy. Credited as the first person in the world to invest in bitcoin startups, he's been the leading voice and catalyst in bitcoin ecosystem for years. Why? according to his website rogerver.com, Bitcoin is the most important invention in the history of the world since the internet and if you don't already know about it, google it. In part 1 of our two-part series, Dave and Roger discuss why people should care about bitcoin, a few companies that are accelerating mainstream bitcoin adoption and why bitcoin is a non-political means to freeing up the entire world's economy. We take a quick foray into macroeconomic and government theory and then, for good measure, they'll talk about George Washington, Vietnam and World War 2.
