“Bitcoin Jesus” who renounced his US citizenship upset that he can’t come to the US
This is Roger Ver. Last year he renounced his citizenship to avoid paying US taxes. Now he’s upset that the “tyrants” in the US government won’t give him a visa to visit Miami this weekend to speak at a Bitcoin conference.
As many of you know, unitary, robust citizenship is an important value to me. Another big interest of mine is morons and arrogant douchebags, especially people who fall into both categories. Which brings us back to Roger Ver, variously known as a “Bitcoin entrepreneur” or the “Bitcoin Jesus.” Ver is now a citizen of Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis. He was so excited about avoiding taxes that as soon as he became a Nevisian he set up yet another start up that would allow you to use bitcoins to buy a Saint Kitts and Nevis passport so you too could avoid US taxes. Alas, it folded after a few months, apparently because the St Kitts government disavowed it.
This guy’s a winner….
