Outraged Pro-BTC Community Alleges Bitcoin.com Is Misleading Buyers Into Buying BCH

The group has also established a Telegram channel, created by Twitter user @MoneyTrigz, which has amassed 911 members as of press time. One of the supports of the community-led movement posted an explanation of the claim on Twitter today, April 28:

The newly launched website will soon be accepting Bitcoin donations in support of levelling a promised lawsuit against Bitcoin.com, which outraged users claim has recently modified its interface so as to blur the distinction between Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash, a coin that hard-forked from the Bitcoin blockchain in August, 2017 and has since been competing with Bitcoin for brand recognition.

As the aggrieved users point out, Bitcoin.com, which provides a BTC and BCH-supporting wallet, shows buyers both cryptocurrencies’ logos in the same color (unlike, for example, wallet and exchange service Coinbase), as well as unusually referring to Bitcoin as ‘Bitcoin Core’, the name of its software client, rather than the more widely recognizable ‘Bitcoin’.
