Roger Ver, a self-described bitcoin evangelist as well as a supporter of Bitcoin Unlimited (BU), has said a money dissever would hold upwards practiced every bit he announces back upwards for Bitcoin Cash (BCC).
In the New York Times, he’s reported every bit saying:
I genuinely intend it would hold upwards a practiced thing if at that spot is a split.
The angel investor, who at in i trial lives inwards Nihon after renouncing his the U.S.A. citizenship, appeared to present his back upwards for the Bitcoin Cash difficult fork yesterday via Twitter.

SegWit Makes ProgressEven though bitcoin miners are making progress on the digital currency’s scaling issues, non everyone’s happy.
Two possible solutions, but solely i answer. The jury’s soundless out every bit to what volition conduct house despite the fact that miners own got signalled back upwards for, locked inwards as well as activated BIP 91, the get-go pregnant footstep along the SegWit roadmap. This follows along to SegWit2x, considered a controversial scaling proposal, that aims to implement a block size increment later on this year.
As of today, the lock inwards for SegWit is at 69.5 per centum amongst 1,310 out of 2,016 blocks signalling support.
Despite the apparent back upwards amongst SegWit2x a grouping of investors as well as entrepreneurs are preparing to accept matters into their ain hands, as well as they’re attempting to produce this inwards a relatively brusk menstruum of time.
As reported past times CCN, proponents of BCC claim that the proposed difficult fork is exactly continuing on from the master version that Satoshi had for bitcoin; however, those against it field that it’s exactly attempting to cash inwards on the bitcoin brand.
According to i individual, though, if SegWit2x doesn’t activate a lot of people volition lose organized religious belief inwards bitcoin:
Not because I own got whatever item back upwards for 2X or whatever item occupation for Segwit, but because it shows fickleness as well as underhand moves based on politics non sensible technical decisions.
Proponents Find the Answer inwards Bitcoin Cash
According to a Medium postby Jimmy Song, bitcoin developer as well as entrepreneur, the proposed fork is a surprise every bit ‘many people idea Bitcoin Cash (and its customer Bitcoin ABC) was exactly a credible threat to foreclose a contentious user-activated soft fork (UASF).’
However, those unconvinced past times SegWit as well as its possible trial are finding exactly about solace inwards the possibility of Bitcoin Cash. Namely, that it increases the block size to 8 MB as well as removes SegWit, which is expected to activate past times the terminate of August.
BCC is currently trading at $451, according to CoinMarketCap. Bitcoin prices own got dropped below $2,500, inwards what is believed to hold upwards over investor hesitance stemming from the Bitcoin Cash difficult fork.
