The First Bitcoin Investor & Author of Hijacking Bitcoin
From buying $1 Bitcoin, to seed funding or co-founding Bitcoin.com, Blockchain.com, XRP & Kraken, to exposing the hijacking of BTC as peer-to-peer cash.
Bitcoin was initially hailed as a liberating technology and a free-market alternative to state-controlled money. However, this promise was broken when a small group of insiders took over the project and fundamentally altered its design. In “Hijacking Bitcoin,” Roger Ver, a pioneering figure in the cryptocurrency industry, reveals the true history of Bitcoin, uncovering years of censorship, social media manipulation, and tight information control. This book debunks popular myths about Bitcoin's decentralization and original design, exposing the corruption and centralization that have plagued the cryptocurrency. With a compelling narrative of passion and betrayal, Ver sets the historical record straight in this essential read for anyone interested in the real story of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is one of the most important inventions in all of human history.
For the first time ever, anyone can send or receive any amount of money with anyone else, anywhere on the planet, conveniently and without restriction.
It's the dawn of a better, more free world.
– Roger Ver, 2011
