Roger Ver - man legend, inventive entrepreneur kriptovalyutny propagandist, voluntarist, an icon of business 2025, chief financial suicide version "FBI Times" and "FRS Today". Exclusive interview only for our readers.
BitNews: Roger, thank you for agreeing to be interviewed, it is an honor for our publications and for me personally.
You started from scratch and have achieved outstanding results in investment and business, supported the idea Satoshi financially, technically and ideologically, develop a number of excellent projects and comply with the ideology of Bitcoin. Tell me, what qualities should a young entrepreneur to achieve success as lightning and brilliant, as you do?
Maestro Ver: Any business, anywhere in the world, it is to move resources from where they are cheaper, where they are more expensive. Whether they are physical things, such as raw materials or components for computers, or non-physical, such as human labor. Look what is happening in the world and look for those things that you think could be done much more effectively than they do now. This usually means the use of alternative supply chain, automating the work that was previously performed manually, or create something new altogether. Everyone has access to the Internet, so that we all have the opportunity to find out the details on topics of interest to us and to become successful in business. Once you have decided on the desired sector, ACT. So many people live their lives, with potentially good ideas, but never try to implement them in the present.
BitNovosti: Many people in the world want to live in America. And you went out and did not regret. The reasons easy to understand, given the remarkable imperial habits inherent in not only the US but also Britain, Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, and such countries, when it comes to the real freedom of the individual, and not imaginary. What is the future of your States in the next 10 years in terms of personal freedom?
Maestro Vert: I have been in almost every country, which you mentioned, and in practice they are not very different from each other. If we do not submit to arbitrary whims of politicians, we will definitely be punished. In America and in many other countries, children in schools hammered the government controls "with the consent of his subjects." However, it is for sure - lie anywhere in the world. Let's quote Lark Rose:
"Since these two concepts - the agreement and management - are opposites, the idea of" consent of the governed "is a contradiction. If there is mutual agreement, it is not "management"; if there is control, there is no agreement. "
I hope that Bitcoin will end the possibility of a small group of people control all the others.
BitNews: I was impressed to the depths of your T-shirt «Borders are imaginary lines» and a visit to the United States Conference of using the body of the robot. What do you think, what motivated the government is not letting you in the country? You're not "international terrorist."
Maestro Ver: Despite the fact that I live outside the US for about 10 years, four individual workers US Embassy claimed that I did not provide sufficient evidence of my intention to leave the United States after a temporary visit.
They were given this failure, at the same time refusing to accept my evidence, which is not physically able to push through the window for an interview. In short, they said, "we refuse to see your evidence, and refuse you a visa because he did not receive any evidence."
All this is quite arbitrarily, and I'm wearing this t-shirt is almost always when traveling to different countries. This is an official document with the reason for refusal (PDF file), and the picture that same T-shirts:
BitNews: What do you think about the statements by the British Prime Minister Cameron, in January 2015, that "we can not afford to exist such a means of communication that can not track"? Is he crazy? Or is it a way to prepare the collective unconscious in advance to be ready for it slavery?
Maestro Ver: Nobody, individually or as a group, can not consent to any action against third-party rights. If you or I were spying on people against their will, we would be put in jail. I think the same rule applies to all human beings on the planet. If someone puts on a nice suit and works in a building with flags over the entrance, it does not mean that he is entitled to do things for which normal people would be jailed. In short, if I do not have the right to read e-mail David Cameron, then he has no right to read my. Both of us - human beings with equal natural rights.
BitNews: How do you feel about Assange, Snowden and anonymous hackers stealing mail-known politicians and revealing people's eyes to the true nature of things? Their efforts are justified, or society will remain at the level of domesticated primates?
Maestro Ver: Assange and Snowden both - the characters, because the world show that taxpayers money is spent on the things for which they are absolutely not intended. The world is constantly moving forward, and I do not think that the trend will stop.
BitNews whether A new Silk Road?
Maestro Ver: Already, there are dozens of sites that have a lot more users and a much wider range of goods than it was in the Silk Road: http://www.reddit.com/r/darknetmarkets/wiki/superlist
Some of them are already using the technology multipodpisi, which will make it impossible for the site administrators or government stealing other people's bitcoins, even if the server's location is known, and the site operators were arrested.
Unfortunately, not all the site administrators share the philosophy of the free market as did Ross Ulbricht.
BitNews: I saw your picture in Moscow, where you campaigned for Ross. You are not afraid of arrest?
Maestro Ver: Maybe, but I'm not interested in having to live in fear. That's why every day I stand for those things that I consider to be correct. If government agents cause harm me because of it, then they should be ashamed.
BitNews: What do you think about the legalization of Bitcoin in the CIS? Our rulers for nearly 25 years are not very honest, so their recent sudden change of point of view is very alarming.
Maestro Ver: One of the properties of Bitcoin, which I like best: from a technical point of view, no one needs permission to use it.
I do not think that some strange people in Russia, calling themselves the government have the right to say 140 million people in the country, they need permission to use cryptocurrency. Or whatever it was more.
BitNews: What fate awaits Bitcoin Foundation? Apparently, all this time, nothing more sensible organization was not involved. Do not close it's time?
Maestro Vert: I do not have the expense of a clear position. With the right people and the vision, I think, the organization can still achieve success in the future.
BitNews: Do you think there is competent Gavin Andresen in their desire to increase the size of the block? In your opinion, is not he mishandled kazachkom CIA, NSA or other similar organization?
Maestro Vert: I do not think Gavin - undercover agent.
I do not have enough experience in programming, to argue the dangers of increasing the limit on the size of the block.
I think the size of the block should be substantially increased if we want to continue to grow Bitcoin.
BitNews: What do you think about altkoyny? Should I invest in them? Many of our Russian-speaking community are counting on them.
Maestro Vert: I would be very interested alkoynom with integrated mathematically guaranteed, anonymity. Current alkoyny do nothing essentially new, what would not have coped Bitcoin, so I do not see them as special need.
BitNews: What do you think, why do people so slow to take cryptocurrency? Can a case be in a bad marketing? Why do certain people do not advertise it?
Maestro Ver: Bitcoin - not the company, so that there is no specific, well-funded department, who would be engaged in the promotion.
I think the biggest problem is this:
Most people do not yet have heard of Bitcoin.
They do not understand the characteristics of Bitcoin.
They do not understand the essence of money, so that they do not understand that Bitcoin - the best money ever seen the world.
BitNews: What is your opinion about the Ethereum project? Do not you think that Buterin can plant until it destroyed all the nations of the world your project?
Maestro Ver: People (politicians and traditional criminals) who want to use violence against peaceful people in order to strengthen their tyranny - that is those who would cost to throw in jail.
I think Vitalik be awarded the prize for the development of ideas that will improve the lives of all people on the planet.
Another project that I would like to mention, as will be incredibly disruptive for governments: http://www.truthcoin.info/ Truthcoin - distributed, invulnerable market predictions, which will allow human beings enough to significantly look into the future, using market indicators, and the wisdom of the crowd .
I suspect your readers will be interested to get acquainted with such a project.
BitNews: In what year do you think, will the dollar collapse and the global crisis? How the US can prevent it?
Maestro Ver: With the invention of Bitcoin, the days when the government can issue fiat money, coming to an end. I do not know how fast it will happen, but I work every day to make it happen as quickly as possible.
BitNews: Philosophical question: do you agree with the opinion of the occultists, alchemists 15-18 centuries that Western science and the Christian religion - a 2 sides of the same coin-a conspiracy against human creativity?
Maestro Vert: I'm not familiar with the writings of the alchemists, in which you refer to, but I think that religion, in the form of magical celestial people with super-powers, is made-up stories, which have been used to delay the development of mankind and concealing the truth in many areas.
This picture may well illustrate how ridiculous look most religions:
BitNews: Why are such services as Coinbase reject anonymous and collect user data? It is only the money or ...?
Maestro Vert: I think they have chosen the wrong purse model. Companies like Coinbase themselves keep all user bitcoins.
The more they become members, the more the target of a government espionage, they are, in fact, that may result in forfeiture of bitcoins.
That's why I invested early on in the alternative, the most popular in the world online wallet Blockchain.info, and more recently, in LUXSTACK.
Both the purse gives the user 100% control of his bitcoins anytime.
Even if the government will visit the offices of these companies, and ask the user to give all bitcoins, companies simply do not have the technical capability to do so.
I'm sure this kind of purse will be the "default" status in the community, as with any Bitcoin bank like Coinbase, the problem will happen in the style of Cyprus or Greece.
BitNews: What do you think, why do people have tried to get rid of centralization throughout history? The only person who comes to my mind is Hassan i Sabbah, the famous leader of the ancient Order of the Assassins.
Maestro Ver: Throughout the history of mankind a small group of people proclaiming the right to control others, and set out to kill anyone who gets in their way. Bitcoin - the first in the history of precedent, when the organizer can not be killed, because one does not exist.
I think this video (in English - approx.) Very well illustrates our situation:
BitNews: What would you have given Satoshi Nakamoto, I had met with him personally?
Maestro Ver: My sincere thanks and gratitude for his invention that changed the world.
BitNews: The question I like to ask all bitcoin activists and entrepreneurs: how much will it cost Bitcoin in 2018?
Maestro Ver: Much more than worth it now, or $ 0 if something breaks.
BitNews: And the last question from the "madhouse": how do you think, is it possible that our planet captured aliens in the movie Carpenter «They Live»?
Maestro Vert: I have not seen this film, but, as said, a well-known science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
I think this means that newcomers can do whatever they want.
