🪙 Understanding the Difference Between Bitcoin and Bitcoin.com

Bitcoin (BTC) is a decentralized cryptocurrency — meaning it operates without a central authority or company. Just like gold, Bitcoin is not a company and doesn’t have an official website or representative. Transactions on the Bitcoin network are peer-to-peer and cannot be reversed once confirmed.

Bitcoin.com, on the other hand, is a private company founded in 2015 that helps users navigate the world of cryptocurrency. While our name includes "Bitcoin," we are not the creators, controllers, or operators of the Bitcoin network.


🧰 What Bitcoin.com Offers

Bitcoin.com provides a range of tools and services to make crypto accessible and easy to use, including:

  • 👜 The Bitcoin.com Wallet app — trusted by millions for sending, receiving, buying, selling, swapping crypto, earning rewards, staking, farming, participating in pools, and much more.

  • 🛠️ Simple tools for:

    • Buying and selling crypto

    • Swapping between coins

    • Earning rewards

    • Managing digital assets securely

  • 📘 Educational resources and tutorials

  • 📰 Up-to-date crypto news

We exist to inform and empower users, but we do not control any cryptocurrency or blockchain network.


🔒 No Control Over Bitcoin Transactions

Bitcoin.com does not:

  • Store your Bitcoin or other crypto

  • Send or receive transactions on your behalf

  • Have access to your private keys or recovery phrase

All transactions made through your wallet are irreversible. Once sent, a Bitcoin transaction cannot be canceled or refunded. This is the nature of decentralized, peer-to-peer cryptocurrency networks.

Because of this, we cannot retrieve lost funds or reverse mistakes made during a transaction.
