PSA Warning: Dear noobs, please remember, bitcoin[dot]org is malicious and is trying to trick newcomers into buying a fake Bitcoin!

The scammers at bitcoin dot org need to be called out once and for all.

The very first thing it says on the home page? "Bitcoin is an innovative payment network and a new kind of money."

Bitcoin is a payment system? Are they talking about BCH? Because BCH is the payment system. BTC is a store of value, remember? Payments are dumb, remember? "Bitcoin is a horrible, horrible payment system" (Samson Mow, Chief Strategy Officer). Remember?

Reading further, they claim "Fast peer-to-peer transactions" and "Low processing fees." That's BCH. The BTC team LITERALLY scoffs at using BTC for fast, low fee peer-to-peer transactions. They literally advocate using Visa instead! And BTC is the slowest, most expensive crypto on the planet! In fact, the vision is that it will become as slow and expensive as chartering an oil tanker.

Past that, bitcoin dot org hosts the Bitcoin white paper - which describes Bitcoin as a "Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System." Again, the white paper is describing BCH, not BTC. BTC is not an "Electronic Cash System" and in fact BTC maxis laugh at the idea of "peer to peer cash." The white paper goes on to describe many features of Bitcoin that have been abandoned by BTC, including a graphic that shows the chain of signatures (no longer descriptive of BTC w/segwit), statements like "For our purposes, the earliest transaction is the one that counts" (which is no longer applicable to BTC, which prioritizes the highest paying version of a txn, not the earliest one), and descriptions of SPV (which BTCers reject in favor of keeping the entire history).

The kicker? We all know that BTC is being marketed as a "store of value." My friends, the words "store of value" don't even appear on the home page of bitcoin dot org.

It's very clear what is going on. Bitcoin dot org is squatting on the Bitcoin brand, pitching the benefits of BITCOIN CASH, and calling it "Bitcoin (BTC)."

It's a complete scam designed to trick noobs into believing that BTC still works like Bitcoin did from 2009-2017 (and how BCH still works). They hear about Bitcoin CASH, but then they go buy BTC. In a regulated market, bitcoin dot org would gete shut down and sued out of existence.

DEMANDS

This community formally demands the following from the owners of bitcoin dot org:

• remove all language related to "payment systems," "peer to peer transactions," "fast" transactions, "low-cost" transactions, etc from the web site, and replace it with language appropriate to BTC's new vision (ie "store of value", "digital gold," "routed transactions," and "high fees for increased security.")

• remove the Bitcoin e-cash white paper from the web site, and/or replace it with a new white paper that describes the updated vision of the BTC project since 2017. The title should read "Bitcoin (BTC): a Store of Value" or something similar. Having ceded the vision of Bitcoin described in the white paper to BCH, it's entirely inappropriate to continue using that document to describe the BTC project.

IF YOUR IDEAS FOR BITCOIN ARE SO SMART, THEN HAVE THE COURAGE OF YOUR CONVICTIONS. PUT YOUR VISION OF BITCOIN ON YOUR WEBSITE, INSTEAD OF HIDING BEHIND A DESCRIPTION OF BITCOIN CASH.

(Late edit: added "routed transactions")
