Topic: Bitcoin.com vs Bitcoin.org? (Read 6724 times)
Both are legit and i don't know why you think any of them can be scam. Both are created for delivering information regarding bitcoin. Bitcoin.org good for one who like to understand detail regarding what actually is bitcoin as well as known official site created by satoshi from start. Bitcoin.com can be considered good to check bitcoin related news and also have discussion forum.
Is one of these a scam?
None of them are scams, both are legitimate sites.
Is one of these a scam?
If you will look at the introductory page of both sites, you won't see any usual promise returns that a normal hyip or ponzi does. The introductory page starts as a educational one e.g what is bitcoin, where do we get bitcoin and other useful references. Also by exploring both sites at yourself it's obvious what is the purpose of those sites. No such thing as fraud even just a quick search for reviews on Google search results.
Since OP doesn't come back here Im expecting newbies to read all the post here as a reference in your bitcoin journey.
Absolutely correct! Maybe OP is just wondering while looking at two domains and s/he assumed that since both are using bitcoin name then one of them can be fake or scam. Those are just educational sites and they are there for us to enjoy and probably view some displayed ads as well to make the sites viable and to make the owners have something to eat on their table.
Is one of these a scam?
As mentioned in this thread alredy both sites are legit. But I have a question: How can you say that one of these sites is scam?After all these sites are not services or shops, you are not buying or investing there - how can news site scam you? (beside providing false info, of course)
Is one of these a scam?
There's no scam for both sites, there are website that gives mlre information about bitcoins, I much prefer to use bitcoin.org because it was made by satoshi known as the founder of the bitcoin. So there's no reason that this sites questioned as scam. 
Is one of these a scam?
These sites are legit. They both provide information for bitcoin users either newbie or experts. You can learn many things from these sites while you are still a newbie. Just try and read it and you will find many useful in order to join the Bitcoin world I do not have any plan to use bitcoin.com for any of purposes like I have come across their one signature campaign is recruiting people from here. (People from here are having account in their forum with same username and proving themselves by signing messages.)

I think bitcoin.org is oldest one and bitcoin.com is new one.. but they are just the same informative just like other said the difference more information you can see in bitcoin.com.. and they are taking this place because maybe some dark liers will come and buy that domain.. so i think the link they are giving there is not scam i try the link of buying bitcoins and the exchange site recommended in my place is legit..

Non of them is a scam, they both give details information about bitcoin. But I am wondering why you throw this kind of question to the community without stating clearly what makes you think that either of the two is a scam. Please tell us more. 
Bitcoin.com was started by Roger Ver, when Bitcoin XT failed and people were accusing Bitcoin.org of censorship. Theymos made it clear that Bitcoin XT were seen as a Alt coin and a direct competitor to Bitcoin. Why would you allow people to promote a competitor product on your platform?
Just imagine if say, Mercedes-Benz created a forum for their users to discuss Mercedes-Benz and then supporters of Ford came onto the site to promote Ford. Would you allow that? So a group of the Gavin supporters fell for the censorship excuses and they joined up with Bitcoin.com.
Now Roger Ver is using that platform to promote his gambling and mining schemes and such, and a small percentage of users are still using the site. So now that Bitcoin XT failed, Roger Ver jumped onto the next implementation, called Bitcoin Unlimited, which is also a direct competitor of Bitcoin Core. < Anyone seeing the pattern here? >
If you cannot take Bitcoin Core, then you have to settle for the competitor to grab a percentage of the market.

So if the site is advertising ponzi schemes is a scam, right?
I always used the dot org site, don't knew it have a dot com, thanks for all the info.
It's not true but if you're finding about the documentary or some article for the sites are related or supporting about the scam advertisement and you need feeling suspicious with that.

Maybe the site can advertise ponzi, hyip banners and at same time write on the site: "DON'T INVEST ON PONZI, HYIP SCHEMES". So, they are earning income from this and saying to page users to don't use this service. Is this a scam?
But in this case, this guy isn't promoting ponzi schemes. The message above said he was promoting his gambling and mining schemes. If you see his profile on twitter, he doesn't endorse ponzi, hyip investiments.

both legit sites man!
Bitcoin.org is the perfect start for newbies as it covers thoroughly which wallet is better for you.
Bitcoin.com I only learned about it from this thread and checked it out. Well it was like described way too commercial for my taste.
So if you want information on where to sell/buy bitcoins you need to go to bitcoin.com as it has useful links to such websites.
If you want to learn more about bitcoin, the way it works and if you want to download a desktop wallet or learn about hardware wallets go to bitcoin.org

None of them are scam. Bitcoin.com supports on chain scaling, while Bitcoin.org supports off chain. That's it. Is one of these a scam?
None of these sites asks you for any investments, the how come any of them can be a scam? Scam means a websites gets an investment from you and never gives you anything in return but these websites only provide information for the community, they are not scams nor they can be.
I don't fuly agree that scams are only the sites which are asking you for money and investments. Scam could also be the websites who are giving you false or misleading informations.
However I don't think that this is the case with these two websites.
Both of these sites have their share of shills and scams, so let's not kid ourselves that they are squeaky clean. The only way that information
is verified on these sites are when reputable users confirm that posts are genuine and not full of shit. Most of these users are known in the
community for their quality posting. The moderators are fairy biased in most cases too, but they are only human like most of us.

Simply put, Bitcoin.com is for profit while Bitcoin.org is non-profit. Bitcoin.com gives information about Bitcoin but it is mainly focused on the commercial side of the industry. Bitcoin.org lists only educational topics on what Bitcoin is and how it works.
