His ego project is the only fork that is claiming to be Bitcoin.
He has to do this, because otherwise he'd languish in obscurity -- so by tricking newbies that BCash is something else, he thinks he'll achieve his goals.
Its like cheap Chinese knockoffs of a real product - they want to enjoy the recognition of the name, so they copy it as closely as possible -- because on their own they would fail.
Even cheap tricks aren't working, because his adoption is flat to zero - his transaction volume is pathetic, and his non-stop railing about how the CODE HE COPIED is crap rings hollow to every cryptocurrency enthusiast that has followed the space for more than a few months.
Another telling point is that Ver hasn't gone ALL-IN on BCash. Why not? Oh that's right, he holds BTC because he knows his altfork has a good chance of imploding.
His lies, deceit and general douchebaggery have made him a infamous turncoat in a space that has a long memory. He'll reap what he sows, and I can't wait to see it happen.
In short, Roger Ver is a duplicitous, lying, cheating con-man that cares more about lining his wallet and receiving praise, then he does about anyone participating in his schemes.
Thank-you for sharing your views. I appreciate it.

Although I think he forked because of what Bitcoin became. I dont think he would of done it if Bitcoin wasnt made incompetent by design.
I first got bitcoin - heard how cryptocurrency is instant and has no fees. Peer-to-peer, etc.
(Plus way back when I first heard of it I was gonna buy 26 bitcoins for $30 - Dummy I was - I thought I was paying $30 for $26 but little did i know 26 btc was $30 worth so I cancelled the buy order because I didnt see the point of it)
Yet today to withdrawl from exchange its like $30 and to send a small transaction was verging on $5 and it took half an hour to have a payment go threw.
Certainly not worth all the hype I thought - Then kept hearing bitcoin cash tried it and was sold instantly -superfast (instant) a penny fee and held true to bitcoins original blueprint.
But I appreciate your sharing
