*** Steve digi Jobs was responsible for the change from BOT to CAP - but i didn't really need to use much Job(s) power for that change as it was a little bit like things you don't miss , like oncoming trucks when driving on the wrong side of the road etc.... in making the decision to miss the Truck is like making the decision to change the 3 letter extension.

** I understand it will be shortened to Caps anyhow - but a currency needs to have an official name- the following is why it matters in my opinion:



OK guys without going into a white paper on psychology or sociology as it relates to humans in economic markets

let me simply explain how i designed the marketing of Caps when i came up with the idea.


It was broadly based on levels :  {i will come back around to why this matters to a degree for the name}

1. The first level of exposure was to be of course here , on a forum where we all start.

2. the I would have leveraged the "Cult of personality" that Caps has , which to a degree you are doing,

3. 3rd level would have been to try to gain exposure to the natural gaming market , also try to get sued by the Corporation. {or at least a warning}


but as we know these things only get a currency so far.




Let me explain how the society is broadly split in "modern times"


A) the TV generation - they are Assets and Capital rich.

b) the Net Generation - savvy Asset poor individuals and mostly Capital poor.



now the only way for a currency to really excel is to of course bridge that gap,(think winki dink ETF)  in some way.

now without explaining how that is done here - i'd like to explain that Generation A) is going to see a "Bottlecap" as a "Bottlecap" there will be no mistaking that fact that they have zero understanding of any of the aspects of the charm that it was meant to have.

however "Cap Currency"  subtlety says a whole different thing - first it has the word "Currency" in it and aside from the implicit icon what is a "Cap" could this mean that there is a cap on how many exist?

so is "Cap Currency" just a Currency {something that has value to me the TV generation} "Capped" {and thus rare}  

you might not fully appreciate the differences - but its in those few seconds that human decides they recognize and understand what something is .

"Bottlecaps"  < instantly descriptive and with a legacy of not high value.

"Cap Currency" <"Currency" instantly descriptive with a legacy of value, "Cap" not instantly recognizable with currency = better equation -

together

"Cap Currency"

= is a Currency that is Capped
