The statement above was made by Ver on the Cryptoshow, 22 November 2017.

One of the problems confronting Bitcoin is the question of scalability and in 2017, rising fees and slow transaction times brought urgency to the situation. In mid-July 2017, mining pools and companies representing roughly 80% to 90% of Bitcoin computing power voted to incorporate a technology known as a segregated witness, called SegWit2x. Unfortunately, there was a lack of consensus amongst developers which led directly to the creation of Bitcoin Cash. Bitcoin Cash was started by Bitcoin miners and developers equally concerned with the future of the cryptocurrency, and its ability to scale effectively.

Roger Ver was one of the main drivers of Bitcoin Cash and he felt SegWit2x did not address the fundamental problem of scalability in a meaningful way, nor did it follow the roadmap initially outlined by Satoshi Nakamoto, the founder of Bitcoin. On August 1st, some miners and developers initiated what is known as a hard fork, effectively creating a new currency: Bitcoin Cash.

Bitcoin Cash has implemented an increased block size of 8mb, to accelerate the verification process, with an adjustable level of difficulty to ensure the chain’s survival and transaction verification speed, regardless of the number of miners supporting it.
