I get being annoyed with people who are so blindly gung-ho about one cryptocurrency that they refuse to acknowledge that any other crypto could possibly have any merit, but comparing that to racism? That's a bit much.
Roger Ver just like CSW is just playing a game, a game of words so that he can get the attention that he is craving for. There is nothing substantial with what he said except that comment that people in the cryptocurrency industry has that tendency to be tribal and not accepting the fact that other platforms can also contribute to the overall growth of this industry, at least he got a good point on that.
Now, comparing Bitcoin maximalists to racists can be a great exaggeration and uncalled for statement. This is not words of a man who is really professional but of a wounded man who has many ax to grind to people who are not siding with his opinions and convictions. This is not the kind of leader that the cryptocurrency industry needs. All the politicking, name calling and everything in between are not all necessary and can be bringing harm to our industry. People with self-vested interests are not thinking of the overall welfare of the industry but just of themselves and the things they can get out of what they are holding.
