When devs don't even know what they are doing

[vanesha]

I can't confirm for sure why a crypto company called Bitcoin.com decided to create their tokens on Ethereum, but maybe they have some reason for doing so. There are several possibilities, such as wanting to take advantage of unique features that are only available on Ethereum, or wanting to follow the industry trends that create tokens on the platform. However, you have a valid point that Bitcoin.com should have created their own bitcoin coins, given their name associated with bitcoin. This is a business decision they make and may have a compelling reason behind it.

If you've hover through the first page. I've said about the a few information about it and who owns it. Well, he's talking about a fork instead of a token on Ethereum network.

Owner of that domain is Roger Ver, the one who's made the fork of Bitcoin cash. That's why even the domain is bitcoin.com, it's main purpose and bias is through Bitcoin Cash.

However, you have a valid point that Bitcoin.com should have created their own bitcoin coins, given their name associated with bitcoin. This is a business decision they make and may have a compelling reason behind it.

They don't need to make one for it because we only have one real bitcoin and the others that are existing with bitcoin's name on it, they're all copy cats and they're all centralized.

Can we say they don't know what they are doing? How can you name your project Bitcoin dot come and create token on Ethereum? I belief that Bitcoin dot come should have make their own bitcoin coin.

It is obvious they know what they are doing OP and they use the word Bitcoin in order to easily get attention. In fact, if you will do research about Bitcoin, you can find a lot of it on the internet.
 - a business strategy
 - a form of clickbait

They can create their altcoins instead but they preferred to use the name of Bitcoin thinking for easy money.
But as livingfree said - it addresses you to Bitcoin Cash (BCH) which literally a clickbait for newbies who think it was the original Bitcoin.

Take a look at this crypto company called Bitcoin.com, the name itself have a lot to say but instead these people went and create their coin on Ethereum

There are a lot of people who are making a new token and they are ending up with a big loss because they have no idea. I have to also say that there is a good amount of people who are not devs, not designers, not marketers, they are nobodies with some money they found somewhere, even taking a loan, and they do a project.

I have met with a few of them, they have ended up with meeting people who knew nothing about it and took a 3-4 thousand dollars loan and they ended up with something that meant nothing and horrible and that caused them to eventually not even finish the project because that money wasn't enough for anything and that's the problem.

They technically know what are they doing, and they know what bitcoin actually is. It is just their decision to go this way, and nothing we can do about it. I believe the name picking is merely for clout, we know bitcoin is not a corporation, they seek that domain name, to get exposure for a wider audience.

Do note that, Roger Ver, who was the CEO of bitcoin[.]com is doing shady things to its customer. Like mistakenly treated BCH as the true BTC, so people bought BCH instead of BTC. And he is known as a prominent BCH advocate. So, it is pretty naive to say they did not know what they are actually doing.

People use the bitcoin name just to gain attention.  Most everything is just a scam.  Stick to the original bitcoin and some high end alt projects and you should be fine.  Steer clear of anything that looks like a misdirection.

This is not new, back then when the segwit upgrade was being voted and we saw the creation of many bitcoin forks there were several scammers which took advantage of this and created bitcoin tokens over the ethereum network, obviously for people like us such a thing will never confuse us, but there are many newbies out there which will buy the wrong coin because of this and they will waste their limited capital in something like this.

[nurilham]

They know and understand very well what they are doing in this matter. however, they did it on purpose. They created the site at a time when Bitcoin was gaining popularity and growing globally and more and more people knew about it.

And what happened? most of people, especially beginners, will definitely think that Bitcoin.com is the official site of Bitcoin. Really, they got a special domain name and it's very easy to trip up and sadly very easy to remember. It's true what some people say here, this is because of the prestige of Bitcoin, so by using the Bitcoin dot com domain, people will trust and be more interested in the site, even though they don't know what they actually make, whether it's Bitcoin Cash or Ethereum or other products. like crypto exchanges. But what is certain, they get high profits from the Bitcoin dot com domain.

[kojektea]

In this case, Bitcoin.com might choose to use the Ethereum platform to create their tokens because the platform has features and capabilities that suit the needs of the company. The use of the Ethereum platform does not indicate that the company does not know what they are doing or does not understand the basic principles of Bitcoin.

Too bad not every poster have the patience to read through all previous post before making their post. some just read the OP and make their comment.

Roger has always been an attention seeker, he probably knows that such a domain name will attract more attention than just going for something very simple. Just like the OP had said, it does not make sense to own a bitcoin dot com website and your project is not on the blockchain. Only Roger ver can do such a thing.

Bitcoin.com is a website where you can buy and sell different cryptocurrencies, store your coins in a wallet, trade and also gamble with bitcoin and bitcoin cash. They deal with bitcoin, bitcoin cash, ethereum, USDT, USDC. Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't see their native token built on Ethereum. And they do accept the original bitcoin on their platform, so I'm also not understanding exactly the criticize to the website.

[asyakashi]

Token development on Ethereum is much simpler. I think they have their own reasons why they chose to create their tokens on the Ethereum network. But we all know the many advantages of Ethereum which is even now the second top crypto coin because of its excellent growth.

Maybe it is just the name that they portray and not the concept itself. Even with other projects, ofcourse if you want to gather more people into your platform, you have to adjust with their demands such as with additional networks to be used on transactions. If they will solely use Bitcoin, there's a tendency that users won't be interested given how hige the fees are. Alternatives are just fine. The fact that they've made adjustments, for me, simply proves that they know what they are doing.

For sure they have. Not only ethereum has advantage over Bitcoin when it comes with transactions, other tokens have lower fees, and faster networks. But if it is the size of community, Ethereum network is a good choice given its involvement with most of the projects in this industry.

Bitcoin.com is an exchange, they had some nice trading competitions in the past, but I don't remember they had their own token, maybe that came later. In the end, I agree with you, they probably had their own reasons to create their token on the Ethereum network, but they are not the only ones... KuCoin Shares is an Ethereum token issued by KuCoin, and I am sure there are other examples as well.

Well, not all exchanges are like Binance... with their own ecosystem.

[Flexystar]

Seems like free ride for the marketing guys. Just stick a bitcoin name into your crypto related website and boom, you are all set to gain huge exposure over the internet. Specifically crypto users will start jumping into the website at least out of curiosity and to see what it is exactly and what’s the offering from them.

Just like the way we are talking about it right now. Imaging if that project had another name then who would have published it here and who would have been arguing about it ? No one!

But we are talking about it because that is kind of marketing strategy mate.

The Binance blockchain is also created on the Ethereum platform. It's just that he has a different network, and nothing more. But it is also created within the framework of the Ethereum platform.

Yes, it's how Binance started, but:

Binance Coin was originally issued as an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain. In 2019, Binance launched its Binance Chain blockchain, now known as BNB Beacon Chain. The BEP-2 BNB coin was introduced as this chain's native token, and users of the old ERC-20–compliant BNB token swapped it for the new token at a 1:1 ratio.

I don't think it's a marketing strategy, it's simply a choice they made regarding the development of their native token. As I could see they just started with this, maybe one day they will create their own, but for now it's easier (and probably a lot cheaper) to do it on Ethereum chain.

Bitcoin.com, a digital ecosystem and secure self-custody platform where users can safely and easily interact with cryptocurrencies and digital assets, has announced that Sale B, or the public sale of the VERSE utility and rewards token, will begin on November 1, 2022.
