Bitcoin Cash’s Roger Ver vows to be “lightning rod” for Web3 rule-breakers Osaka, Japan—Outspoken libertarian and strong supporter of Bitcoin Cash, Roger Ver is a polarizing figure in the crypto community. But today, he used his notoriety to plead for a decentralized revolution, arguing at Devcon 5 that developers need to break the rules to truly liberate themselves. “This is a protest event,” he said onstage, adding, “We are building tools to empower individuals. That’s the goal that still has me excited today.” His speech was, he said, both a call for action and a “lightning rod” for any controversy that might be caused. While many companies building on blockchain are actively trying to work within the rules—for example, running token sales in compliance with the SEC—he said that this was a form of obedience, something to be broken and discarded. And with these newfangled technologies, we should create a decentralized internet where anyone can do what they like, when they like. “Five or seven years ago, it was a lot more of a Wild West,” Ver said. “You hear people talk about compliance, regulation. In your mind, change the word compliance to obedience.” Who are they being obedient to? A bunch of strangers living in a foreign city they’ve never met who probably don’t understand what they’re working on.” He added: “What if Rosa Parks had been obedient?” https://decrypt.co/10222/bitcoin-cashs-roger-ver-vows-to-be-lightning-rod-for-web3-rule-breakers
