Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion
If by "shill" you mean someone who has volunteered thousands of hours and years of my life to help grow Bitcoin into a global peer-to-peer electronic cash system, then here are some of the ways I've "shilled":
1. In 2014, I developed the first ECDSA signing tool capable of signing Bitcoin transactions offline over an air-gap by drawing power from the NFC field [video].
2. In 2015, I co-founded (and still co-manage) the first peer-reviewed scholarly journal for Bitcoin and blockchain research, Ledger.
3. Also in 2015, I did research to demonstrate that a transaction fee market would exist without a block size limit [paper] [video]
4. In 2016, I co-founded Bitcoin Unlimited, which is now a $10 million+ organization that supports Bitcoin research and outreach across the world.
5. Also in 2016, I did research to show that with subchains, bitcoin's transaction capacity could be increased while also providing faster TX verification by miners to users [paper] [video]
6. In 2017, I demonstrated a security weakness in segregated witness [video]
7. Also in 2017, I spearheaded the launch of the $3 million "Gigablock Testnet Initiative" and presented our initial result in Stanford [video]
I have done all this to date as a volunteer because I love bitcoin and hope to see it change the world for the better.

Roger Ver's CV is a lot better
Indeed.
Roger Ver has done a huge amount to further Bitcoin adoption. Perhaps more than anyone else besides Satoshi Nakamoto. He truly loves Bitcoin and wants to see all of the world adopt it. That people now abuse him for trying to fix the problem of high fees and unreliable confirmations is heart-breaking for me.
