Hmm, I don't think so. Both are informative sites to introduce people to the Bitcoin world. They are giving legit hints about wallets, how does this system work... Good sites for newbies.  Smiley

Never used bitcoin.com, however I have used Bitcoin.org and I've found it to be a fine resource for getting into Bitcoin initially. I don't think there is a point in making a scam based on this kind of website, and most of them will more than likely actually be a useful source of information.

On which way those  sites are scam? They are   not  investment   website they  are just  an  informative site which is   good  for those  who want to engage into bitcoin.
Ive been  using  it  when  i  do have  only a  few  knowledge about bitcoin back way before.  They are not scam because theres  no  money  involve and   they dont  ask for  money  into someone. Just and ordinary website with  good  informations about bitcoin.

Is one of these a scam?
No.

Bitcoin.com is a website run by Roger Ver. It is primarily a site that gives out high level information about Bitcoin and contains news and some other stuff. It also tends to be not neutral.

Bitcoin.org is the website created by Satoshi for Bitcoin. It is in the control of primarily Cobra and Theymos. The site provides both high level and low level technical information about Bitcoin, as well as a primarily neutral and unbiased information. It does not have news like bitcoin.com. Bitcoin.org also hosts the downloads for Bitcoin Core.

Bitcoin.com serves a more commercial purpose whereas bitcoin.org is more informative.

Why would this sites will be scam? They are only offering information about the W's and How questions and both site is really informative (but I'm much prefer to get some information about bitcoin.org since my very first step in bitcoin world) and they are not just like a pyramid scheme, gambling or trading site that will become scam, so stop comparing this two sites dude.

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.

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.

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.  Wink

None of them are scam. Bitcoin.com supports on chain scaling, while Bitcoin.org supports off chain. That's it.

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

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.

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.

I don't think so, mostly the ads are fully auto-generated and i don't think someone are installing the ads for manually in their site.
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.

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.

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.
