As the aggrieved users point out, Bitcoin.com, which provides a BTC and BCH-supporting wallet, shows buyers both cryptocurrencies’ logos in the same color (unlike, for example, wallet and exchange service Coinbase), as well as unusually referring to Bitcoin as ‘Bitcoin Core’, the name of its software client, rather than the more widely recognizable ‘Bitcoin’.
Many indignant users have gone so far as to suggest these practices amount to “fraud”. The ongoing controversy is forcing a rift between Bitcoin.com's creator and major BCH-proponent Roger Ver and crypto industry heavyweights, such as Erik Voorhees, CEO of ShapeShift:
Earlier this year, a US government institute itself misstepped into the muddy waters, publishing an official research paper that mistakenly claimed that Bitcoin Cash was the “original” Bitcoin, while Bitcoin was its “fork”.
