Cryptocurrency promoter Roger Ver, regularly alluded to as Bitcoin Jesus is having an intense time with the usage of Bitcoin Cash (BCH).

In a report released on Bloomberg, blockchain investigation firm Chainalysis says the Bitcoin fork is scarcely being adopted in business.

Bitcoin Cash was forked from Bitcoin over a year prior. At the time, Ver had changed over his property into Bitcoin Cash, advising everybody who minded to listen that he had changed loyalty to BCH. He even updated his Bitcoin.com site, to center around the cryptocurrency.

In a survey directed by the firm on the world’s 17 biggest crypto vendor handling services, for example, BitPay and Coinfy, they found a decrease in Bitcoin Cash installments from $10.5 million in March 2018 to $3.7 million in May. Bitcoin payments additionally dropped from a pinnacle of $412 million in September 2017 to $60 million in May 2018.

The reduction takes after the drop in worldwide cryptocurrency prices this year which has seen Bitcoin losing more than 60 percent of its value, while BCH lost around 75 percent.

“There are fewer users of Bitcoin Cash, fewer holders,” Kim Grauer, a senior investor at Chainalysis told Bloomberg in a telephone call.

Gauer trusts the reception has been low because of the grouping of possession. Chainalysis records around 56 percent of Bitcoin Cash being controlled by 67 wallets not situated on crypto exchanges. Of those wallets, two of them hold somewhere in the range of 10,000 and 100,000 Bitcoin Cash.

Ver has stayed unflinching in his journey to drive advertise selection of BCH. A week ago, in a YouTube video with Bitcoin.com’s lead engineer Corbin Fraser, Ver had disclosed the Wormhole Cash convention, an instrument that permits designers to issue tokens on the Bitcoin Cash blockchain. Ver and Fraser went further to propose the crypto distribution could launch an ICO.

” ICOs and CryptoKitties are probably coming to Bitcoin Cash in the near future,” Fraser had commented in the video, to which Ver responded:

“They’re probably coming to Bitcoin.com, too. We’ve been thinking about having our own ICO for maybe the games part of the platform; maybe we’ll issue a token and pay dividends or use part of the money… to buy back the tokens on the open market.”
