Faith is wholly owned and besides its headquarters in California, has offices in Japan and South Korea. MemoryDealers.com became one of the first companies taking Bitcoin as payment.
Policy summed
However, the business did not bring the young entrepreneurs need adrenaline, and he decided to get him to go into politics. In college, he became interested in the study of economic literature, namely the writings of Adam Smith, Milton Friedman and Murray Rothbard. "The more I read, the more I realized that the control and regulation of the government ruining the world's population", - he said.

Bitcoin as a religion
During one of his visits home Ver heard on the radio about online currency Bitcoin. Then he realized that this was the best form of money that has ever existed in the world.

"Even if I lose every cent invested in the Bitcoin, but the world at the same time becomes freer and people finally get the full control of your money, I'll be happy. And if that happens, and I earn a lot of money, I will be even happier, "- said Roger Ver.
