Roger Ver is just another bankster mouthpiece working with people like Gavin Andresen and Mike Hearn. Don't let the "freedom" credentials fool you, he either uses that as rhetorical device (and only wants freedom for himself+friends), or he's simply a useful idiot to said banksters (entirely possible).
After all, why would Roger be promoting alternative development plans that endanger the network? Freedom also includes the freedom to be a total idiot, apparently.
Couldn't have said it any better! Just look at his self-portrayal that is a narcissistic masterpiece. I'm really grateful that Core is still being developed by sane and intelligent individuals, who did not give up despite the frequent sh*tstorms by the Gavinista gang.
Ver and his buddies do not care about Bitcoin at all. All they care is making more money for themselves, no matter the method. So for me it is well imaginable that Ver is trying to negatively influence the Bitcoin community, simply because he is heavily invested in some Altcoin that might profit from Bitcoin looking bad. Luckily Ver's media visibility is not too pronounced and has been vanishing lately. Bitcoin.com never took really off, because the PR strategy for it was ideologically framed from the very start.
ya.ya.yo!
