Early Bitcoin (BTC) investor and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) advocate Roger Ver claimed that Ethereum, not Bitcoin, will be responsible for driving the bulk of new users towards crypto. Ver provides an account of the “civil war” that occurred in the early days of Bitcoin between Etheruem’s co-founder Vitalik Buterin and Bitcoin core developers. Ver claimed in a January Reddit post that he had “sufficient funds” to pay the outstanding sum and argued that because Genesis was no longer solvent he was not legally required to uphold his end of the deal. CoinFLEX CEO Mark Lamb claimed Ver owed the firm $47 million USD Coin (USDC) and was bound by a written contract.
