This is a completely, outrageously false version of events, and it is very frustrating trying to debunk it for non-crytpo geeks who haven't followed things. There is a group of "altcoin" (ICO and non-Bitcoin coins) investors who have put together a terrific social media team and spread nonsense like this. They run a "The_Donald"-esq subreddit called /r/btc who's head moderator is Roger Ver, convicted felon (sold explosives online and renounced his US citizenship). Somehow Roger Ver bought the domain Bitcoin.com, and has been using it to promote a different coin, "Bitcoin Cash", and outright saying it "is Bitcoin". Of course He's heavily invested in sites like Shapeshift which allow you to buy altcoins... and I assume links like this (posted by"singularity87" who is a top /r/btc poster) are designed to spook people into switching to ETH, Bitcoin Cash, etc. It's bizarre nonsense. |
