Topic: Proposal: NO MORE ALTCOINS named "Bitcoin anything" (Read 179 times)
Usually Bitcoin anything appears as the result of forks. We have already Bitcoin Gold, for instance. And yes, in a way you are right — some people cannot understand why BTC name is used. However, soon all are getting used to the name of a new altcoin. I do not see here any problem.

Welcome to the decentralized cryptoworld we all know and love. Nothing we can do about it.

If it's forked, it's not bitcoin. We can have a completely different name.

The cryptocurrency community, including the exchanges, should refuse to use the name "Bitcoin" in the name of any future altcoins. No more "bitcoin gold" or "bitcoin cash" or "bitcoin raindrops" etc...
There needs to be clarity for new/unsophisticated users.
There needs to be clarity for those who attempt to co-opt the name.
The coup attempt will fail. There can be only one.
