FWIW the bitcoin.com wallet (and really bitcoin.com) is borderline malware. It exists solely to leverage its official sounding name to constantly nudge people towards deceiving people into buying "Bitcoin cash" which is largely unrelated to bitcoin. When ever they're called out for doing it too blatantly deceptively (e.g. spent months calling "bitcoin cash" the real bitcoin, and bitcoin "bitcoin core"), they just walk it back slight enough to not get outright banned on platforms.
- teh_infallible 6y agoTo be fair, bitcoin cash is not “largely unrelated to bitcoin.” They have the same transaction history up until the split. They are basically brothers who hate each other.
- grapehut 6y agoIt might be poor choice of words, but I think it gets the point across. It's barely worth more than "bitcoin SV" (another coin that shares the same transaction history with bitcoin to the same point) that's controlled by a painfully obvious and blatant scammer and his backer.
- bufferoverflow 6y agoBitcoin cash is more bitcoin than the current BTC is. It continues the idea of peer-to-peer cash, payments on the chain. Read the whitepaper. Where's BTC is being pushed into a strange, lot less useful, "store of value" niche.
