Selling bitcoin.org to Roger Ver or any other people claiming to be Satoshi would be a tragedy, and a complete disaster for Bitcoin.

BCH and BSV have damaged Bitcoin and its image, slowed down its adoption and massively increased the confusion about it.

Giving bitcoin.org to these guys could simply kill Bitcoin.

If you don't want to update bitcoin.org anymore, just leave it dormant: a single page explaining what Bitcoin is, with a link to the original Satoshi PDF paper.

But don't sell this domain. Please, just don't.

Giving bitcoin.org to Roger Ver would create a social attack on Bitcoin.

If bitcoin can be killed like this (by social attacks), it didn't deserve to live in the first place.

I thought there was no official web page for bitcoin but here we are discussing how damaging would it be to sell it to someone else.

In an ideal world, releasing the bitcoincore code on bitcoin.org or sdfsdfsdfsd.io shouldn't make a difference for bitcoin... but it does.
