Roger Ver has faced severe criticism over the past weekend after he tweeted about Twitter CEO, Jack Dorsey, and Elizabeth Stark, the co-founder of Lightning Labs:
Ver certainly is the CEO of Bitcoin.com together with a promoter of Bitcoin Cash (BCH). However, he once were a major promoter and investor in Bitcoin and Bitcoin-related firms.
