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.
