Roger Ver bitcoin

Predicting future trends in the market is an extremely fickle game fraught with uncertainty and uneasiness, especially in today’s infinitely expanding digital economy. But every now and then the industry tends to come across a real black sheep who is incredibly smart and talented beyond imagination. They are the ones who have radical visions about the future, and they are the ones who no one tends to listen to…

Meet Roger Ver, a man who is now a multi-millionaire investor and who, back in 2011, saw the future like no one else did. It was in August 2011 when the price of Bitcoin was only $10 a piece that Roger began to believe in it’s true potential. With a strong desire to prove his point Roger placed a $10,000 wager and a strong prediction that one day Bitcoin would be worth over $1000!

Approximately two years later, on November 27, 2013, he was right.

Today Roger has an estimated net worth of over USD 52 million and is also known as ‘Bitcoin Jesus’ for his point of view and works for Bitcoins. He has invested in startups like Blockchain.info, The Bitcoin Foundation, Ripple, BitPay, ShapeShift, Purse.io and is incredibly passionate about harnessing it’s potential to change the world.

This is a great episode, full of interesting advice, super cool tech tips and some serious knowledge bombs! So without further ado, let’s jump right in!
