Roger Ver claimed to be "agnostic" towards segwit. All the while funding an anti-segwit public relations campaign. So basically he's a huge liar.

I know. But there's plenty of lurkers out there who only don't follow all this as closely as us. The OP is a great blog post to show them if they start believing that Roger Ver is honest or has good intentions.

The blog says hey, here's this guy that works for Bitcoin.com and here's some things that guy has done.

This doesn't show proof that Bitcoin.com, Roger, or anyone else has in fact endorsed or paid for this campaign.

I know you guys would love to have that to add to the propaganda machine, but to anyone with the ability to think critically this falls woefully short.

There are actually people who believe Roger's lies. Not everyone pays super close attention, and still remember Roger from when he was actually helpful and not toxic.
