Roger Ver, 34, a bitcoin millionaire, told the South China Morning Post that efforts to disrupt the digital currency money market would be futile. ‘It’s not stoppable. They can delay it within their own jurisdictions [states] but that’s going to be incredibly short-sighted and damaging. ‘If the US government tries to restrict or clamp down, that just means there will be many more bitcoin businesses in Hong Kong and Singapore and all those Americans will miss out on all the opportunities.'”
