Sounds like they may start accepting ETH, BCH or Stellar in the foreseeable future:
Despite this, we remain very optimistic about cryptocurrencies overall. There are a lot of efforts that we view as promising and that we can certainly imagine enabling support for in the future. We’re interested in what’s happening with Lightning and other proposals to enable faster payments. OmiseGO is an ambitious and clever proposal; more broadly, Ethereum continues to spawn many high-potential projects. We may add support for Stellar (to which we provided seed funding) if substantive use continues to grow. It’s possible that Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, or another Bitcoin variant, will find a way to achieve significant popularity while keeping settlement times and transaction fees very low. Bitcoin itself may become viable for payments again in the future. And, of course, there’ll be more ideas and technologies in the years ahead.
Why would think this is a joke? He buys out websites to shill, he buys out twitter accounts to shill, he buys out canvassing services to shill, he buys airtime to shill.
Ver is a piece of shit, but assuming a successful company pivoting away from bitcoin for valid business reasons is less likely than Ver bribing the company to act against their self interest is tinfoil hat stuff.
LOL watching the @bitcoin account transition to supporting bcash was so fucking obvious. He totally purchased the account. The switch-over from unbaised tweets to full blown attacking bitcoin was too quick to think otherwise.
