CoinFLEX debacle ensnares BCH supporter Ver

Bitcoin Cash, also known as “Bcash” by those critical of the coin’s ethos and future, gained notoriety in 2017 when it became the first major שווער גאָפּל of the Bitcoin network to take on BTC, itself.

Months after launching, the altcoin hit highs of around 0.43 BTC per token, this proving something of a fakeout for investors who have spent the intervening period watching its value steadily decline.

Arguably the most vocal BCH supporter, entrepreneur Roger Ver has nonetheless continued to tout its supremacy over Bitcoin, with price woes having little impact on his rhetoric.

This month, however, Ver גערירט מחלוקת ווען reports emerged that he owed $47 million in stablecoin USD Coin (וסד) to crypto investment platform CoinFLEX.

Ver denies the claims, with a social media storm ensuing, which is ongoing this week. Regardless of the outcome, its impact on BCH has been palpable. On June 29, BCH/BTC fell to new all-time lows of just 0.005 — 98.83% below its 2017 peak.

The event was not lost on commentators, many of whom remembered Ver’s ינסיסטאַנס that BCH would rise to replace BTC altogether.
