It's like Facebook credits, without Facebook.

I like this a lot. I also tell people it's like having a Swiss bank account without the counter-party risk of the Swiss bank.

I'm all for calling BTC E-Credits or Internet Credits.

I think it would only help adoption. "Bitcoin" leads people to believe that we are some sort of singular entity when nothing could be further away from the truth.

Quote
Bitcoin is social network money. It's like Facebook credits, without Facebook.

Though we know it's nothing like Facebook credits, using this concept that everyone understands may help people accept it. (similar to Blackberries sending full emails being called paging devices). Ironically, Facebook with their own centrally controlled fiat may help with adoption.

Thoughts?
