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.
It can't be killed, but the community shouldn't take it by doing nothing. Would you like Roger Ver to own bitcoin.org as a political attack-tool, and as a tool to scam newbies?
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.
It WILL be damaging if sold to the wrong person. Go to bitcoin.com, click "Buy Bitcoin". What is it selling?
In an ideal world, releasing the bitcoincore code on bitcoin.org or sdfsdfsdfsd.io shouldn't make a difference for bitcoin... but it does.
It does because bitcoin.org has been a Bitcoin website for many years. Changing it into a fraudulent forked shitcoin website to scam people is not ideal in a non-ideal world.
Of course, bitcoin is going to survive either way, and seems that Cøbra is considering various possibilities, and of course, if Roger has already shown himself to be a scammer and an attack vector on bitcoin, then selling or transferring to him would likely end up having the site used for scamming and attacking bitcoin... which does not seem to be the direction that Cøbra would like to go - even if Roger were to be the highest bidder.
Has anyone heard any updates from Cøbra, recently, on this subject matter? Has a short-list developed? Maybe there has been some behind the scenes vetting?
