I have a soft spot for Roger Ver. He was very passionate about supporting bitcoin many years ago. And he played mono red in Magic the Gathering. Unfortunately he is either very out of touch with what is happening on bitcoin now or is lying his ass off.
Roger said he didn't know of any privacy tools on bitcoin. WTF? There is Joinmarket, Samourai and Wasabi which have been around for years! Not to meantion all the new projects which are building better privacy on lightning such as Ark, Fediments and others.
Roger also claims nobody was claiming bitcoin couldn't scale to p2p transactions in the early days. This is totally false! Anyone can see Hal Finney explaining how bitcoin couldn't scale as originally designed and offering solutions.
This is a reminder to all everyone. Bitcoin is not well understood by even many folks who should know better. Have your facts ready to set the record straight. It may mean the difference between your friends and family being rich or getting rekt'd!
