<p>They're not partnering with Bitcoin. They're partnering with bitcoin.com, a privately-owned and controversial website.</p>

I would like to point out the bitcoin.com (last I checked) is in fact not to do with Bitcoin but, actually Bitcoin Cash. An important distinction. The primary resource for Bitcoin is [bitcoin.org](http://bitcoin.org/).

I believe that Bitcoin is not a private company and it's owned by its community, right ? How is it possible for a company to partner with Bitcoin ?
