Ok, "most" was the wrong word, but Roger Ver and Gavin Andresen were instrumental in the success of Bitcoin and they now support BCH.

Gavin Andresen maybe, but what has Roger Ver done?

In April 2011 Roger Ver bought enough bitcoin to drive the price up from $1.89 to $3.30. His company was the first to accept Bitcoin for payment. He paid for the first radio and billboard advertisements for Bitcoin. He funded BitInstant, Blockchain.info, BitPay, Ripple, and Kraken. He helped found the Bitcoin foundation. He started an online store that accepted only bitcoin. He essentially became a spokesman for Bitcoin.
