Crypto Evangelist Ver Taunts Trump with P2P Bitcoin Cash Trading
Users of local.bitcoin.com may have found a surprise on Twitter today: a Tweet directed at Donald Trump and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin from none other than the site’s owner, Roger Ver.

So You Don’t Like Bitcoin?
The troll-esque tweet does nothing but provides the two, officially on Twitter, a link to a peer-to-peer trading site.
Local.bitcoin.com is the latest to enter a competitive peer-to-peer trading market. The two primary players are LocalBitcoins and Paxful.
LocalBitcoins grew up around in-person trading but recently banned the activity. Paxful and Bitcoin.com currently serve as the primary way people might meet and exchange cryptocurrency in-person.
One primary difference between Bitcoin.com and LocalBitcoins is that the former allows you to trade more than just Bitcoin.
Are You Inviting Trouble, Roger Ver?
Various authorities have historically arrested LocalBitcoins traders on a semi-regular basis. Depending on the jurisdiction someone’s operating in, going about it wrong can result in several law violations.
