This site no longer represents the …

This site no longer represents the Bitcoin of the white paper. Yet it describes the bitcoin of the white paper and even hosts the actual white paper. Talk about misleading and deceptive. They don’t even know what they believe anymore and the people in charge of this site have called for the unethical rewriting of the white paper. The person who runs it is singlehandedly responsible for mass banning of users from Reddit as well.

The real bitcoin

Don't believe the one star brigade. Bitcoin.org represents the real bitcoin (BTC). Bitcoin cash (BCH) is an alt-coin fork from bitcoin. Many bcash proponents try to fool people into thinking it's the real bitcoin.

Genuinely misleading.

Genuinely misleading.

States "Fast peer-to-peer transactions" and "Low processing fees" on the landing page, but in fact takes hours or days to confirm transactions which require fees of around $15 at time of writing.

My own first transaction back in October last year (ffa8571232bca83d3ab02d4e5018e9e34c315aab8c813316f7c155a5e0e4c296) took around 16 hours to confirm and cost me $6.01 to transfer $161.58 to another wallet I owned (there was also a surprise fee of $30.45 taken by the Electrum wallet which was recommended by this site).

Since that time fees have increased significantly, and transaction times have slowed even further.

There is even a pull-request (#2010) on the github page for this site requesting that the site be updated to reflect reality, but the sites maintainer has stated:

"The only way to present the current and possible future state of the network (if nothing is done) accurately would be to somehow sell these fees as a "cost" for the uncensorable transactions. So we'd have to market high fees as a feature. This is a huge change to how Bitcoin has been marketed for much of its history, and it implies that we've misled millions of people about what Bitcoin actually is. In fact, it'll actively turn people off and they'll use something else."

I would avoid this as a source of information, at least until the obvious issues have been resolved.
