Black Women In Blockchain (bwinb.org) is a cryptocurrency site.
DESCRIPTION
The homepage of bwinb.org had four black women walking together holding one another, smiling, and laughing. My first impression was that these were black women having a good time and that were bonded. I’m aware of what the blockchain is. I’m also aware of the wealth involved in blockchain technology and how fast-growing the industry is. I also know that the United States is one of the most unequal countries in the world and that blacks have a history of being disadvantaged in that country. When I scrolled down, there was a lot of information on the homepage with the main message being that bwinb.org is enhancing the inclusion and representation of black women in tech. It’s notable that traditionally most tech jobs have gone to men. I am an investor and understand blockchain investments. All blockchain-related stocks go up and down when Bitcoin does, i.e., if Bitcoin is in a bull market, the rest of the blockchain investments will be, and if Bitcoin is in a bear market, the rest of the blockchain investments will be. Investing in the blockchain is volatile and it can create generational wealth but not quickly; you have to be prepared for the investment to take a long time.

Is bwinb.org Safe?
Here, I analyzed bwinb.org for malware and malicious content to check if it was legit or a scam:
I checked bwinb.org on Sucuri, and it returned as a low security risk.
I then ran a parasite scan with Unmask Parasites on bwinb.org, and it is suspicious.
Unmask Parasites cites 1 suspicious inline script:
(function (_window, _document, _script_url, _extAndQuery) {if (!_window._ssrSettings) { _window._ssrSettings = {}; }_wind...
I also checked bwinb.org on VirusTotal, and it is clean.
URLVoid says bwinb.org passed all blocklist engines.
In conclusion, we graded bwinb.org no higher than relatively safe because of the suspicious inline script. OVERALL GRADE: Relatively Safe.

Black Women In Blockchain is a legit site. I doubted the site at first because their Twitter links to @bwblockchain which is the official/main Black Women In Blockchain Twitter account. However, I think that's an innocent difference because their Instagram has videos with the founder talking about this website. Although, I would like more confirmation from @PlusTouCEO if at all possible.
One of the other reasons I believe this site to be real is because when I go to Google, the main Black Women In Blockchain website (bwbc.io) is listed first and bwinb.org is listed directly beneath it. If it was a scam, surely the founders would have had it removed as a scam by now. But I'm not 100% sure it's not a scam. There is a donate button on the bwinb.org that may try to collect donations as a scam and do nothing else.
This is an interesting case. I invite the founders to tell a story that may reveal more evidence that can help us understand the difference between the two Black Women In Blockchain sites. The domains don't seem like they're based on the same idea the way they're worded. There is suspiciously a donate button on the bwinb.org homepage and not much else.

If you are looking for blockchain investments, I recommend data centers, hardware providers, or Bitcoin mining stocks. The best Bitcoin-related hardware stock is Canaan Inc. There are numerous very good Bitcoin mining stocks today. The best is Riot Platforms at its current price. I would also recommend Core Scientific, TeraWulf, Iris Energy, Bit Digital, and Bit Farms.
If the price of Bitcoin were to rise a lot, and these companies continued to be leading and successful companies, they would rise along with the price of Bitcoin. Generally, that’s how you want to make your investments. Follow the technicals for Bitcoin and invest in the blockchains that surround it.
