Why is a popular domain for crypto using .io instead of .bit or .com?

[tanakamiku]

Cryptocurrency is very interesting to follow. Not only because it is a payment in the future but also because it is still in a relatively early stage.

So my question is:
1. Why is the most popular domain for crypto using ".io" rather than ".bit and .com"?
2. What's the difference?
3. Which is better, .io, .bit or .com?

I’m not sure the reasons
But I can believe it to be their wishes because some projects do use .com
While most prefers .io

as far as I know IO is an abbreviation for Input/Output, So I think .IO is a better domain for crypto projects because crypto projects are related to technology and Input/Output is suitable for them

Yeah .io is the most popular domain name for ICO projects. I think because the io is similar with the word ICO. It make we feel the project more professional and we will invest in it. I don't like .bit domain name, it's not popular, very few sites use .bit domain.

Copy paste from local Indonesian topic.

Cryptocurrency sangat menarik untuk diikuti. Bukan hanya karena itu adalah pembayaran di masa depan tetapi juga karena masih dalam tahap awal yang relatif.

Jadi pertanyaan saya adalah:
1. Mengapa domain yang paling populer untuk crypto menggunakan ".io" daripada ".bit dan .com"?
2. Apa bedanya?
3. Mana yang lebih baik, .io, .bit atau .com?

This is a good question, and most ICO websites now end with IO.
