Title: Proposal: NO MORE ALTCOINS named "Bitcoin anything" Post by: toElefante on November 11, 2017, 03:25:08 AM The cryptocurrency community, including the exchanges, should refuse to use the name "Bitcoin" in the name of any future altcoins.

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.
