During Show Me The Crypto on YouTube, Roger Ver emphasized that Etherium has brought many different innovations to the industry, such as NFT, smart contracts, scaling solutions and so on.
“While Etherium does not have the largest market capitalization, in my opinion, it is the cryptocurrency that is the leader in increasing industry adoption worldwide,” stressed the founder of Bitcoin.com.
Wehr acknowledged that the second cryptocurrency has scaling problems. But reminded that there are several second-tier solutions for Etherium.
In addition, many third-party blockchains are introducing support for the Etherium Virtual Machine (EVM) so that developers can migrate and deploy their Etherium-compatible smart contracts on other networks.
Roger Wehr also said that initially Etherium came about because Vitalik Buterin and Bitcoin developers disagreed on their vision for the future of the first cryptocurrency.
Buterin advocated new functionality and scalability of Bitcoin blockchain. But most of the developers saw BTC as a means of accumulating wealth.
Then Buterin left and launched Etherium, which, according to Vera, was “the greatest missed opportunity” for Bitcoin.
“This whole ecosystem could have been built on Bitcoin if not for this controversy.
The developers just didn’t like Vitalik, kicked him out of the project and forced him to create Etherium,” said the Bitcoin Cash supporter.
Roger Wehr concluded by thanking Buterin for creating the second cryptocurrency and stated that Vitalik is the one “leading humanity into the future and making the world a better place.”
Earlier, Roger Wehr was sued to recover a $20 million debt. The founder of Bitcoin.com failed to settle his cryptocurrency options transactions, which expired on December 30, 2022, on time.
