- Bitcoin being attacked by "sock army of AI bots," Back says
- Kiyosaki says he would choose Bitcoin over gold if he had to
Adam Back, a legendary cypherpunk whose work, HashCash, was mentioned by the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto in the Bitcoin whitepaper, and who corresponded with Satoshi about BTC, has taken to his X account to slam the former “Bitcoin Jesus” Roger Ver and everyone who supports his claim that Bitcoin was “hijacked” after Satoshi disappeared.
Ver converted from a Bitcoin evangelist to a Bitcoin Cash supporter in 2017 after a hard fork that created BCH.
Bitcoin being attacked by "sock army of AI bots," Back says
Adam Back commented on a tweet by an X user calling himself Mandrik. The user slammed Roger Ver and his book, published in March 2024, called “The Hijacked Bitcoin.” In this book, he criticizes Bitcoin developers, who allegedly departed from Satoshi Nakamoto’s initial Bitcoin plan for the block size and changed it. Ver believes that Bitcoin Cash is now what Satoshi meant BTC to be — a digital currency, rather than Bitcoin with its changed block size.

In his post, aforementioned X user Mandrik stated that he does not intend to read Ver’s book, since he witnessed the events described in it live: “I was a moderator on r/Bitcoin and r/BTC during the block size wars.” He also called Roger Ver and his followers scammers.
“I will defend Bitcoin against Roger Ver & bcasher FUD,” he stated.
Adam Back supported his take, saying that he looked at a photo of just one page from Ver’s book and slammed it: “The density of lies per sentence was impressive.”
Well said. Someone sent me a one photo of one page from the book, the density of lies per sentence was impressive. I'm not reading it. Also they lost so badly, I don't think there are many of them left. It looks like a small sock army of ai bots mostly plus a few confused people

Kiyosaki says he would choose Bitcoin over gold if he had to
Robert Kiyosaki, a renowned investor, author of the “Rich Dad Poor Dad” book and a big Bitcoin advocate, has published a tweet responding to a frequent question as to which is better — Bitcoin or gold.
I am often asked:
Which is a better investment?
Gold or Bitcoin.
Obviously I would say both for diversification of assets and add silver.
Yet if I had to choose only one asset I would choose Butcoin.
Why?
Because gold is in theory infinite. When the price of gold rises…
Kiyosaki believes that he diversifies his money between both and also adds silver into that portfolio. However, he added, if he had to choose only one asset, it would certainly be Bitcoin, since it is mathematically finite, while gold and silver are infinite. At least in theory. BTC was only designed to have a maximum of 21 million digital units.
