Hey @alexgausman - this is a cool idea. One of the principles of the new ethereum.org is that it should have minimal "native" content, but be a great portal to community-created content. If you were to write a good blog post about this subject, you could submit a PR to add it as a link (maybe somewhere on /Learn?) so that users can find this information if they're looking for it.

Here's an example of what I'm thinking...

ETH and Bitcoin have a lot in common but they also have a number of differences.

Bitcoin has been around longer than ETH.
Bitcoin’s protocol is a less complex than ETH’s.
There are more options for buying/selling Bitcoin than ETH.
Bitcoin’s blockchain is less likely to change considerably than ETH’s.
Bitcoin’s price is generally less volatile than ETH's.

While it’s easy to see how Bitcoin and ETH could be viewed as competitors, there are actually many cases where they can benefit each other.

WBTC is a version of Bitcoin, called “Wrapped Bitcoin”, that can be used on the Ethereum blockchain.

WBTC can be traded on decentralized exchanges like Kyberswap.
WBTC can earn interest on lending platforms like NuoNetwork.
WBTC can be auto-balanced against other assets via TokenSets.

Every WBTC is backed 1:1 by Bitcoin, allowing Ethereum users to leverage the power of Bitcoin in a growing permisionless landscape.

To reiterate, this is just an idea based on some criticism of the new website by BTC holders that I observed. Feel free to close this issue if you don't feel mentioning bitcoin is necessary

Overall I think the new site is a huge improvement :-)
