A movement of more than 600 people, is taking legal action against Bitcoin.com and its owner Roger Ver for considering that these would be deliberately deceiving new users to buy Bitcoin Cash (BCH) instead of Bitcoin (BTC) .

The domain of Bitcoin.com is one of the most relevant in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, anyone interested in knowing about Bitcoin features or knowing how to acquire it, will surely arrive immediately at the address through browsers.

Even when doing the Google search on how to buy bitcoin, the first result will be that of this page. On this fact, Bitcoin.com seems to be using the slightly confusing options to acquire Bitcoin Cash instead of Bitcoin.

Your home screen shows purchase options with information that may be misleading, such as the fact that Bitcoin logos (BCH) are presented in a similar way and even with the characteristic orange color instead of the green color as generally shown in other platforms

In addition, on their website they usually refer to Bitcoin (BTC) as Bitcoin Core. It must be remembered that the name Bitcoin Core refers to the original Bitcoin software client, known as the Satoshi client, which was originally called "Bitcoin" but was renamed to distinguish it from the network and the cryptocurrency.

Likewise, the Bitcoin Cash option is shown without the corresponding BCH, which could confuse anyone who is not familiar with Bitcoin and the distinction between BTC and BCH, which could lead to an erroneous purchase.

During this week, the website of Bitcoin.com has made a series of changes in those that present Bitcoin Cash as Bitcoin, the most notable being the change in its block browser that changed Bitcoin (BTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH). ) to Bitcoin Core (BTC) and Bitcoin (BCH).

Among other sections that could surely create confusion for new users, is the "Bitcoin course" that aims to help you learn more about what this cryptocurrency is and how it works. In this, Bitcoin Cash is only sometimes referred to and most of the graphics used in the course is shown to Bitcoin with its original logo.

On the other hand, Erik Voorhees who was a long-time associate of Roger Ver and also CEO of ShapeShift, has also taken distance from this task on the part of Ver in which he intends to present Bitcoin Cash as the real Bitcoin.

"Roger, please stop referring me to support your opinion that Bitcoin Cash is Bitcoin" "It is not. Bitcoin is the chain that originates in the block of genesis with the largest accumulated work test "" The Bitcoin Cash cradle could not obtain the majority, therefore, it is not Bitcoin "were the words of Erik Voorhees on Twitter.

The demand for its part, has gained strength through a chat in Telegram gathering more than 600 users in just two days. The chat was created by user MoneyTrigz who is CoinTimes administrator and co-owner of CoinDaily.

Despite this, MoneyTrigz pointed out that nobody is in charge of this initiative. "It's more of a community movement, because that's what it is," he explains. "It is not directed by me. I just woke up the flame, that's all. "
 
"The consensus on this matter is the same," the user continues:

Everyone is frustrated and outraged and you also have victims who now lose money for that. [Bitcoin.com] crossed the line, and we are backing legally.

It has not yet been revealed which group of lawyers will be in charge of this lawsuit, it is only known that it will be a firm of the island of St Kits, where the Bitcoin.com company is registered.

MoneyTrigz, like other group administrators, has emphasized that it is not a discussion group, but a means that users who have been victims of deception can reach.

"The legal angles are being discussed with the lawyers, they are not available for discussion here, this is public, [Bitcoin.com] has eyes here," Money Trigz announced in the group.

In another related fact, an official website called bitcoincomlawsuit.info has also been launched where people who have been victims can provide their evidence and join the lawsuit.

"A group of more than 600 participants from influential industry leaders to volunteers and community partners who are dedicated to protecting fraudulent business users and helping victims recover lost funds," says website description .
