Topic: Are you OK with Bitcoin being called a token? - page 12. (Read 3270 times)
It is absolutely fine with me somebody calls Bitcoin- token, however, by doing so they actually demonstrate the lack of their knowledge in the sphere, which discredits what they are talking about, no matter how logical it might seem. On the other hand, it's not an awful mistake of course, but sometimes it can be unpleasant
Popular use of the word "token", in this community, is/was related to "ETH ICO bubble things", not the creation of Satoshi known as Bitcoin.
BTC = Bit COIN not Bit Token
"...bitcoin closed Tuesday at $4,009 per token — twice its price in July..."

Doesn't make any sense to me how they call bitcoin, a token or a coin. Anyway people brand something based on their value in their lives. If bitcoin doesn't make much impact in their lives, naturally they will devalue it by calling it even a crap. But to someone who's benefitted too much and their live's been changed because of bitcoin, it's understandable they call it much better than just a token.

I dont care if ever they called it token or anything to the bitcoin as long as it does not affect its value.
Bitcoin name is always be special so its better if we stick with its original name. Bitcoin will always be bitcoin no matter what.
The way they call it doesn't change what Bitcoin is. The problem is that it brings confusion for the average user. Calling it a currency, a digital currency or a cryptocurrency tells them more what it's all about.
sometimes these articles are written by people who are not at all familiar with bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general. sometimes it is a deliberate mistake, or even possibly they call it "token" because they don't want bitcoin to be a coin or a currency.
in the end it doesn't matter as long as it doesn't catch on! which i don't see it catch on so far. so we are good.

Yeah, in the end, it's just semantics. I know the most hardcore advocates cringe at every news item aired on mainstream media. There's so much to learn and pick apart. Even I find it a minefield sometimes to comment... I remember being picked apart when I couldn't distinguish between Bitcoin and bitcoin!
The internal workings of a technology as "matured" as the Internet will always be misunderstood and misrepresented... but it doesn't matter. That's perhaps a price of mainstream adoption.
who cares about names and who cares about the media !!
some may call it tokens , others may consider it ponzis ..etc but we still here making money thanks to bitcoin
even token I don't find it a bad thing , but as I said at the end names don't matter at all

To me Bitcoin is a protocol. Bitcoins are the token / coins of the bitcoin protocol. So yes bitcoins are tokens/units/coins call them how you want.
A token for what?
What can I redeem if I have bitcoin? Is Bitcoin a voucher of something else?
Why does anyone still trust the media?

Bitcoins can be called token. And I also do not care about calling this token. Because whatever we make is just like the coins and tokens. There is also no problem calling this token. And even though I sometimes called it a token. So let's not waste time with these things. This is my only opinion and if there is a better explanation I will not fight it anymore but I will also listen to your statements
It's okay to me when people call bitcoin is called with token or whatever. Bitcoin gives me profit and all that matters. I'm happy with it.

Look, i may sound like an overreacting monkey by saying this but, I am really not okay woth bitcoin being called a token. I strongly disagree with it. Even the thought alone makes me feel bad. Because i love bitcoin. I reapect it as much as i respect the one who made it(satoshi) together with its rich history that shped it to what it is today. So call me anything you want but i will still not favor anyone calling bitcoin a token. It is just wrong.

No, it suits better for the altcoins that don't even have a working product.
Calling it an asset or currency suits better. It gives an idea of something that is not only scarce, but also valuable and that has very important use cases.

I only care about the price and stability .. Call it whatever you like as far as im concerned
i do not really care about them calling it Token,Precious Metal,Food or whatever.
sometimes they might be misspelled it because of lack of knowledge or differentiation in their view with us.
some of them think it was not a coin but instead it was a token or something like that.
for example look at that media and the publisher Jon Swartz,
based on his past article,seems like it was the first time he created this topic.
and i am really sure he told us that Bitcoin in form of 'Token' because of drama happened in the Chinese.
banning the ICOs based on Ethereum aka Token.

No matter what they call bitcoin as, what matters is that if we can really enjoy from the bitcoin. They can lower the class of bitcoin, they can call it as token, this doesn't change anything, any perception.
They can call is a pustulous blue waffle for all I care. Token? Who cares?
It's bitcoin to those in the know, and it's not even a coin as we normally think of them, so it really shouldn't even be referred to as that. It's not even a token, nor are the other cryptocurrencies! Wrap your head around that. I've never actually seen bitcoin called a tojen anyway. It's a nonissue for me.
Well as long as we know it's use and we know how to use and have it,then everything the want to call on it will be fine. There are alts that are called tokens especially when they came from ICO . It's bitcoin to those in the know, and it's not even a coin as we normally think of them, so it really shouldn't even be referred to as that.

I don't like Bitcoins or any crypto currencies being called tokens. I prefer to think of them as currencies/coins/money/cash to me, tokens are those things you get and the funfair from the penny machines to save up for a cat shaped pencil eraser!
I really do not really care how they call it, the most important bitcoin prices can be stable at a high price and we can get it easily.
I think it's fine. Let them call whatever they want. Only we have to believe in bitcoin and develop it. Someday, they will recognize their mistake.
