Pro-BTC Movement Scraps Lawsuit Against Ver's Bitcoin.com, Citing Lack Of Funds

The pro-Bitcoin community movement that galvanized last week against Bitcoin.com has reversed its plans to level a lawsuit against the site, community leader MoneyTrigz announced on the group's Telegram channel yesterday, May 3.

Members of the movement were outraged that major crypto wallet and media service Bitcoin.com - run by prominent Bitcoin Cash-proponent Roger Ver - appeared to be intentionally blurring the distinction between Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash, and misleading buyers into buying the latter.

On April 27, the group launched a website to gather claimants and donations for a promised lawsuit.

We appreciate the 31 people that donated to the initiative.

3700 wont be enough to do much, so we decided to cancel the initiative and refund the 31 transactionsim happy were able to atleast get bitcoincom make 90% changes on its fraude and dis-information pic.

Many of the group's supporters point out that under just the threat of legal action from the movement, Bitcoin.com has been forced to make significant changes to the content of its site.

I just found out that Roger has changed the website back to listing bcash as "Bitcoin Cash" instead of just Bitcoin.

The lawsuit has already done some good.

The group's response to the decision to pull the lawsuit has been largely positive, with one user saying it was "The first time Roger [Ver] scaled back on his fraudulent practices."

The battle for brand dominance between Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash, a coin whose advocates argue provides better scalability than the world's top coin, has continued to rage since Bitcoin Cash hard-forked from the Bitcoin blockchain in August 2017.
