“Roger Ver, a high-profile member of the Bitcoin community who is commonly known as ‘Bitcoin Jesus,’ has been denied a US visa — despite having been born in the country. Ver is well known in the Bitcoin community as an entrepreneur and angel investor, having funded products including Blockchain, Ripple, and Blockpay. He became known as ‘Bitcoin Jesus’ after giving thousands of coins of the virtual currency away for free. Ver complains that the decision has forced him to miss speaking appointments at conferences and that the US embassy in Barbados refused to even consider the evidence for his application.”
