During his sincere conviction that the new currency will help the world to become better, he got the nickname Jesus Bitcoin. And even though its growth rate hundreds of times, he believes that the real success Bitcoin is yet to come.

Future Bitcoin-millionaire who was born in the heart of the world of technology - Silicon Valley. Its extraordinary qualities Roger Ver demonstrated long before the explosive popularity cryptocurrency. While in college, Rev. founded his first business, which brings him a substantial income to this day. In 1999, he opened MemoryDealers.com website that sold computer accessories at a discount. It is thanks to him, rather than Bitcoin Ver earned his first million. The initial investment in the business Vera was only 1.4 thousand. USD., Which he put down after the summer earnings. He bought several hard drives and then sold them on eBay in four to five times more expensive on these funds. Since Ver never ceased to grow their business. Among his clients have visited Cisco, HP and Vodafone. The company itself with a turnover of US $ 5-10 million. Faith is wholly owned and besides its headquarters in California, has offices in Japan and South Korea. MemoryDealers.com became one of the first companies taking Bitcoin as payment.


Policy summed
However, the business did not bring the young entrepreneurs need adrenaline, and he decided to get him to go into politics. In college, he became interested in the study of economic literature, namely the writings of Adam Smith, Milton Friedman and Murray Rothbard. "The more I read, the more I realized that the control and regulation of the government ruining the world's population", - he said.
As a result, Roger Ver decided to run for the legislature of California as a libertarian. However, in the political arena trap lurking faith at every step. After the failure of the election, he was invited to the debate with the Republicans and Democrats in the State University of San Jose. In the midst of the discussion had called Rev. control management employees for a turnover of alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, firearms and explosive materials the United States "a bunch of murderers." Unfortunately, in the debate was attended by representatives of the agency, which for a long time remember the words of the failed policies of twenty.
He was engaged on eBay selling firecrackers, which helped farmers to scare away the animals from their cornfields. Similar products sold on the web a dozen companies. Usually, all confined to only a warning, but on faith management brought down the power of American justice. As the millionaire, he was the only man in the country, who were tried for selling firecrackers. Initially planned Vera put behind bars for seven or eight years, but in the end, he spent a total of ten months in prison. Nevertheless, spent time behind bars is completely discourage the desire to have faith not only to participate in political activities in the United States, but simply to live there. Immediately after his release in 2005 he moved to Japan Ver.
Bitcoin as a religion
During one of his visits home Ver heard on the radio about online currency Bitcoin. Then he realized that this was the best form of money that has ever existed in the world. "I have not left the house for a week and read any information about Bitcoin, which came across my eyes. I have so much suffered from lack of sleep, my friend even took me to the hospital, "- says Wehr. Entrepreneur has infected the idea that it is possible to make payments throughout the world without any permits and restrictions. And although the first Ver still refers to the development of new currency a little bit skeptical, he began to acquire money online. Soon, he has invested in service BitInstant.com, belonging to another Bitcoin-millionaire Charlie Shremu. Since Ver invested in many different projects related to cryptocurrency (bitpay, BlockShain, CoinLab et al.). At the time of investing Vera was about $ 1 million. For two years the value of Bitcoin has grown 1,000 times. Even at the beginning of 2011 the price was about $ 1., But now it is traded on an exchange Mt. Gox about 1 thousand. USD. Per piece. However, even such a phenomenal price for online currency Ver considers too low. According to him, one Bitcoin should cost tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. «Bitcoin survive a lot of bubbles in its path, but it will improve the lives of people on the planet. I do not care about short-term market fluctuations, "- he adds.
For his efforts in promoting cryptocurrency Ver was nicknamed Jesus Bitcoin. "It gave me the nickname Peter Vessenes (Chapter Bitcoin Foundation), when I spoke to the students. I told them about Bitcoin. They were so fascinated by them that caught my every word ", - quotes Faith CNBC. In addition, he is in 2011, when about Bitcoin no one knew, one of the first took up its public promotion. Then he posted on a billboard near the road a large advertisement on the currency. It is also distributed free of charge to people Bitcoin, so that they themselves can enjoy the benefits of the new currency. He tries to do it to this day. While other Bitcoin-millionaires spend their money to buy a luxury sports car, Ver does not forget about charity. He recently performed the world's largest Bitcoin-donation of $ 1 thousand. coins (about $ 1 million.) Foundation for Economic Education. "Even if I lose every cent invested in the Bitcoin, but the world at the same time becomes freer and people finally get the full control of your money, I'll be happy. And if that happens, and I earn a lot of money, I will be even happier, "- said Roger Ver.
