Bitcon dot com started to mislead users by making them belief that their bcash altcoin wallet is a real Bitcoin wallet.

It's both, but with bcash in focus, it's a deceiving tactic to grab the attention of newbies searching for actual Bitcoin.

Here are the wallets I recommend to new people

For small amounts Uphold.com

Easy to buy, easy to hold. 3rd party, so only for small amounts

Samourai for Android

Hands down the best Android wallet. Make sure to teach the clueless newbie how to backup. Backup Tips

Electrum for PC

The best free software wallet on my book. Make sure to teach the clueless newbie how to backup. Backup Tips

Trezor as hardware wallet

For big amounts, this is the most secure way to store Bitcoin. Make sure to teach the clueless newbie how to backup. Backup Tips

      Roger Ver and his Bitcoin.com has always been misleading the public on Bitcoin. Screw Bitcoin Cash ... it will never be the real Bitcoin.
