For the people who did not care to read, the OP does not want to change the name, but rather the bad reputation. Some people refer to that, as it's name. The only thing we can do to change it's reputation, is for us to counter the bad reputation by doing more positive things than bad things.
We should focus on projects based on Bitcoin technology to help with poverty elimination and education on a global scale. Make charity funding easier, and create more jobs with new Fintech innovation based on Bitcoin. ^smile^
Topic: Giving bitcoin a new name - page 2. (Read 1767 times)
as mentioned above it is important to stop scamming , do not support such kind of sites like Ponzi , hyip , cloud mining etc. and bitcoin sites should come up with security measures by adopting new technology on websites. and usage of bitcoin play important rule like use the bitcoin for good purpose like helping poor people ,charirty , education or ethical way of buying goods etc.
Even you give bitcoin a new name it wont be effective or even change a thing at all no matter what you do. Bitcoin is developed the way it is and there are disavantages and advantages of it. Bitcoin would gain a bad reputation on how the users use it , if we change that or reverse those things maybe its possible.
I'm still stuck on the achieving my dreams and goals part of OP. Bitcoin hasn't been that integral to my life, but I hear this all the time. WTF is bitcoin doing for you such that it's life-altering. I want some of whatever you're smoking.
haha, it is mostly about the dream about the bitcoin price and moon landing.
sadly there are many people with this dream. they hold a very small amount of bitcoin and many of them even are holding amounts less than 0.1BTC and dream about a 1,000,000,000,.... USD price day and night and see themselves becoming a millionaire by holding that tiny amount forever. [these people are those who panic and sell when price goes from 600 to 590]

Yes name change will not give a good name to bitcoin I think bitcoin need to centralised and It should be accepted through government as well and we need more adoption to secure the bitcoin with huge number of users...

yeah, scams and scammers is a really big threat for the bitcoins name, i hope that in the future there will be less of such people though i doubt that it will change
scammers are everywhere,in every forum,every communities,and in real life,if there's scammers,it's definitely not the currencies mistake,currencies only getting used to trade or to pay,doesn't have a brain and can't spend itself,can't even scamming,so if bitcoin given a bad name because of scammers so does with dollar,or another damned currency
1. No scam
2. No Ponzi sites
3. No illegal business like Bitfinex
4. Encouraging people to use BTC
These are the 4 things that the Bitcoin community can do to return to Bitcoin its former name. Bitcoin itself isn't bad, but some people in the Bitcoin community give the great cryptocurrency a bad reputation.

To clear bitcoin name it cant be done by 1 person, it need cooperation from all user, we can start by using bitcoin for a good deeds like charity and teach people how to use bitcoin in honest and proper way, build a community to give a better knowledge about bitcoin, so they dont use it for bad purpose
This is totally good advice and good idea for the community, And it really should be happen. teach them so well about how they're gonna use bitcoin in a proper way procedures. The people itself must be no.1 open minded, Because if he/she is not like that everything will just turn into waste.
As long as there will be possible to scam, cheat or make money by fooling others then scam artists will gonna do exactly that.
If bitcoin wasn't the biggest cryptocurrency then we would have Litecoin or Doge scams.
Success of bitcoin scam projects is caused either by people who are totally gullible and will do anything to earn more money.
That is why we have so many Ponzi with guaranteed profit, bitcoin doublers or other bullshit pseudo investment projects.
Another category is however lack of security (or maybe negligence or incompetence of staff) of some big bitcoin businesses Mt.Gox or Bitfinex are core examples.
You can't do really do anything about it.

I agreed with you pal, As I observed too many of the successfull in here I think is the people who scammed other's. Also majority of the scammer was started in the altcoins. They saw many of the community there was a gullible people, but I'm not saying all just want to make it clear, No offense.

Hello everybody
I know many of us here are not included or affiliated to any crime online which involves bitcoin. but we have to stand for this currency that has helped many of us achieve most of our dream OR GOAL
Many scammers and fraudsters accept payment through bitcoin and it is giving bitcoin a bad name.
So-many country law enforcement agency are targeting bitcoin and looking for any slightest opportunity to bring down this great currency down, many of them clam that the are investing on the Blockchan technology why at the back the are trying different ways to bring down this currency BTC
I remember the time when law enforcement agency arrest people that are involved in Bitcoin or those using it (but now the have been slight changes in some country but not all)
So who has an idea of how we can Give bitcoin a good name?
What can we do to help this currency?
You can't really do anything to force Bitcoin into a good name, but there are some very basic things you can do like increase public charitable giving, more public projects or whatever, but a lot of Bitcoin's reputation just has to come naturally. You can't force a reputation.I know many of us here are not included or affiliated to any crime online which involves bitcoin. but we have to stand for this currency that has helped many of us achieve most of our dream OR GOAL

As for people investing in the blockchain technology while trying to dismantle Bitcoin, it makes sense, they want to use a technology that would conceivably give them more control while opting to destroy what gives them less control.
It's too late to change the name. Bitcoin is a really cool name too, we don't need a new one. The scamming and crime will keep happening no matter how many times you change the name, so that is nonsense.
there is not much we can do about bitcoin's reputation. you can only try to inform others about the scams and try to spread the good word about bitcoin and try to tell other people that bitcoin is not as bad as they have been told all these years by the banks and government.
i suggest you change the subject from bitcoin name to bitcoin reputation, "name" is misleading.

Nothing wrong with the name but with the reputation and ways bitcoin was used, it's not about technology or inventions but the real problem are the people.
Those that see so many opportunities to take advantage of and they do it because it's in human nature.
First we need to fix our selves from within then start to think about how to make our world better in all the ways possible.
