UNICEF, for example, uses cryptocurrency to collectively help children in Bangladesh, and Roger Ver decided to use cryptocurrency to collectively bribe.
Roger asked his Twitter followers to forward Bitcoin Cash to a Hong Kong Stock Exchange official to promote the upcoming hard fork on Chinese microblogging site Sina Weibo. Wer met with Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKSE) Chief Economist Shuson Ba and tweeted a photo of them together, along with the economist's Bitcoin Cash address.
«I am currently explaining to Mr. Ba what Bitcoin Cash is. Send him some BCH coins so he knows how cool it is and tells his followers on Weibo 9Mabout it,” Ver wrote.
It appears that the BCH address provided was created specifically for this event because there were no funds on it until today. Users were not too enthusiastic about this request, as the wallet, at the time of writing, had only received 0.206 BCH (about $250 at current price) from 40 different users. Some users, however, expressed their dissatisfaction, due to the fact that such actions can be regarded as bribing an official.
It is worth noting that 40 transactions are not required to understand how everything works. If it weren't for Ver's influence, this could be considered the same as the Ether begging that thrives on Twitter.
Roger Ver has been a strong supporter of Bitcoin Cash since its inception and has used his influence in the industry to promote the cryptocurrency, albeit not always using pure methods. Vere's Bitcoin.com misled users by labeling BCH as "Bitcoin" and Bitcoin as "Bitcoin Core." The bug was fixed earlier this month.
As Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin noted, there is no reason why Bitcoin (BTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) cannot coexist, but misleading Bitcoin advertising must be combatted Cash.
