Bitcoin.com is one of the most important cryptocurrency domains, having expanded into almost every crypto related field there is. It is covering news with https://news.bitcoin.com/ it is a bitcoin onboarding page for retail adoption, having links to crypto wallets and technical information on Bitcoin, an archive for the Satoshi emails, a bitcoin block explorer, and so more. It is basically a complete website of the highest quality that for years have promoted the idea of Bitcoin and lately the importance of Bitcoin as P2P cash with the bitcoin forked protocol upgrade Bitcoin Cash.
Recently bitcoin.com has added an exchange (https://exchange.bitcoin.com/) that has very high volumes (more than $3billion daily) having high liquidity and instant user support in many languages. Within the first year since its launch the exchange had been visited by half a million traders per month and the numbers are increasing with the recent rise in cryptocurrencies.
The price of the domain and website bitcoin.com should be valuated in hundreds of millions of dollars today. It was purchaced by Roger Ver in 2015 at a time when Bitcoin was in a bear market and it was losing popularity. Roger Ver gave fresh breath to bitcoin.com, and within the years it became one of the most used and popular websites.
The bitcoin.com wallet is one of the most downloaded and used in the world, and offers a user friendly environment as well as solutions for merchant adoption of Bitcoin Cash cryptocurrency as a means of payments. It only takes minutes to download and use bitcoin.com and be part of the cryptocurrency revolution.
A few hours ago there was a tweet by Jameson Lopp about the domain being put up for sale at GoDaddy, but when following the link in the description, it directs us to message saying Bitcoin.com is not available for sale.

It could be another blunder by Lopp, as the recent one when he was accused by the Bitcoin community of shilling the altcoin INX together with other Bitcoin maximalists.
The price of 100 million for the domain bitcoin.com is actually a very low one. Considering the fact that coinmarketcap was sold according to news for $400million to Binance, then someone can only imagine how much bitcoin.com is worth.
However, this post by Lopp may not be so interesting as the fact that Cobra, a Bitcoin Core dev, wanted to sell earlier the Bitcoin.org domain, without leaving out shenanigans however, but this will all be uncovered one day. It was Roger Ver again that offered to purchace the domain, and then there was no talk about it again.
I write this because there were many comments in this post that were as usual negative towards Ver and just what Bitcoin maximalism is used to create fake impressions and slander. Lopp and friends should learn to evaluate better each situation before posting randomly just to bash the BCH community. Bitcoin Cash is lately a hot topic and many have switched sides and understand what cryptocurrencies should be about. With the Bitcoin fees rising on average for years it is will not be possible to scale. The solutions of Lightning or Liquid are very far from being considered ready. Bitcoin Cash is ready for immediate adoption.
For the reason that coinmarketcap was sold for $400million, a fair value for bitcoin.com could be a billion dollars. The valuation of cars.com was $870million in 2015, maybe even a billion dollars is too low for the top Bitcoin domain name.
