What is Blockchain.com?

The Blockchain.com website may look like an “official” website, but it is actually a company’s website. The Blockchain.com domain was registered in 2011, which is two and a half years after Bitcoin was created. The official domain registered by Satoshi Nakamoto in fact was bitcoin.org, registered three months before Satoshi announced his celebrated whitepaper on 31 October 2008. When the Blockchain.com website went online, it was simply an explorer, i.e., a website where it was possible to see the transactions being recorded on Bitcoin’s blockchain, as well as other information such as the circulating supply, price chart, and so on.
