In fact, Samson is Chief Strategist for Blockstream, & spends his days marketing Blockstream products in the market. So, Samson is a professional debater for company, while Roger is a Chief Executive of a company.
Conversation
I forgot to mention BitPay and Blockchain.info. Roger might be the most significant “builder” in the history of crypto. Is Samson’s LN hat store open yet? Can LN safely send $10 yet? Is Liquid out yet? What are we even talking about at this point?

His points are weak. Ver is becoming irrelevant

In what way is Roger irrelevant? He owns significant hashing power, one of the most popular bitcoin wallets and websites. He hosts (at least) weekly podcasts and is a relevant member of most of the significant companies in the blockchain space.

You know what? You're right. He may have been a big deal for crypto. I misread your tweet.
Glad he has his Bcash project and other alts he can control.

He’s quite literally top 5 most important people in the history of bitcoin. He founded Kraken to help repay everyone who lost money in MtGox, and he’s the primary reason anyone ever accepted bitcoin for payments outside of the dark web.

Founder of Kraken?
Investopedia says "Ver was also an early investor in a number of related blockchain projects, including Kraken"
I can't find anyone besides listed:

Roger was not a founder of Kraken but he was one of the first two investors in the company. One of the few guys back in the day willing to invest in infrastructure and the development of ecosystem rather than hodl.
He also sent more txns than most people. Money is meant to be earned, spent, saved, invested and used to build businesses. Satoshi, built, mined, transacted and saved. Now, I think he’s probably dead...
