Do you think Bitcoin needs some Rebranding?

Rebranding is the creation of a new look and feel for an established product or company. The usual goal of rebranding is to influence a customer's perception about a product or service or the company overall by revitalizing the brand and making it seem more modern and relevant to the customer's needs.

First off, the name is a bit confusing? - Most people see the name and associate it with some physical coin. The media is also not helping with this

perception, because with every article about Bitcoin, pictures are shown of physical Casascius bitcoins.

The other aspect of Bitcoin that can be rebranded is it's bad reputation that has been built up and shilled up ..over years.

Every company gets to a point where they need to re-think their original goals and future plans... Why not Bitcoin? We have come a long way

since 2009 and making small changes will help us to take this into a new future, without the baggage of the past.

What would the pro's and cons of this be, and also the impact?

Let's discuss  ;D ;D ;D

It is really no need! If what is bitcoin creates from the very beginning,is what bitcoin will be, 'til it lasts and remain in the crypto world.

no need to rebranding for the name of bitcoin that over time has more and more demand, if you look at the purpose of bitcoin itself then there is no need for repetition for now.

Probably not a good idea. Bitcoin already has it's name decently spread out to the masses; even though people's impressions with bitcoin are probably 50% positive 50% negative. Also knowing rebranding bitcoin might just be an easy win for BCH. Just my 2 satoshis though.

My opinion is that bitcoin has become a well known brand after almost 10 years. It is a pity to rebrand bitcoin. The name is catchy, Bit for internet and Coin for money.

Who needs rebranding? Those shitcoin that honestly don't even surve the high purpose or they have one but are hoping to gain attention with rebranding. I mean nothing against rebranding as NEO used to be called antishates like year ago. Although Bitcoin has built itself a good brand. I donot actually think that rebranding it will do any good as it may lead to confusion between some people. Many people know about it and because of it being the first this is really not necessary thing to do.

I think now the reason to re-brand Bitcoin is not strong and it will face difficult way to do that. All community should agree with this and the one thing to be considered is how to contact the creator to get his/their approval for re-branding? I do not know how to do that with anonymous character of Satoshi until now, so it will be impossible I think. What would be easy to do is campaign to educate people what the Bitcoin is.

no we do not need that. because rebranding is basically done because people think their product has failed to live up to the expectation and in order to get their customer back they have to change  some stuff and try to attract them once again. this is not true about bitcoin at all.
so far bitcoin despite all its possible shortcomings like the short term higher fees, has lived up to the expectation. it is a decentralized perfectly working currency that has been processing monetary transactions for over 9 years now.

I don’t think rebranding is necessary in Bitcoin case and it might cause more bad than good since Bitcoin is proven to be successful. Rebranding might bring confusion to the users and lost existing and potential users.

Old is gold, But NEW is BITCOIN. Bitcoin has shaken the whole financial system to rethink about their misdeed. It has created a brand already for itself. Rebranding is not a solution currently, as a lot of people still don't know about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies still. It still has a long way to penetrate into the market, acceptance, and visibility still need a sustainable and persistent boost. The rebranding will take a lot of resources, efforts and still not the right time. Rebranding/changing name will dilute the existence of bitcoin.

The same time should be spent on scaling bitcoin to the next level.

Rebranding can also be good for advertising the cryptocurrency just like what happened with Raiblocks after they rebranded it the price went up, but how about Bitcoin, there is no company that has the control to change its name because no one owns it. It is possible but we can't change it that easily because some people will disagree with it. Personally I also don't like the idea of rebranding Bitcoin because it will just create confusion to other people especially those who don't know that much about cryptocurrencies with will also be the cause of confusion on exchanges because not all will agree to change it, and the name Bitcoin has already been know so why change it. There's a lot of important things that should be improve in Bitcoin network so for me this is not needed.

No need, with time, bitcoin will gain massive acceptance and all the greedy and fools, who wanted to make some quick money and got scammed, will be out of the boat, just wait a while.

I think that bitcoin does not need rebranding at all. This coin was the first of the Cryptocurrency. Many people do not know any other cryptocurrency except bitcoin. The name bitcoin is on everyone's lips. Bitcoin is largely popular due to its name. Rebranding bitcoin can only damage its popularity.

Why the f would you that? Bitcoin is not a company or something like that, it's an idea (and its name is well recognizable). Who rebrands in crypto? Dead coins or some ICOs just to pump the price, Bitcoin doesn't need that

I think the best thing of Bitcoin is its branding. so clear no!
Rebranding will not remove some of the negativity about it

no need to do rebranding, because with good or bad bitcoin topics will greatly affect the market and will automatically become famous with this bitcoin topic, and I believe that bitcoin currently has a good perception among consumers and producers.

Not the best of ideas. Just when bitcoin is a year away from its 10th birthday, someone decided to rebrand it. And start all over again? Rebranding means the product is failing. Bitcoin is definitely not failing. It’s on its way to another record run. There may be some bumps along the way, but this is normal in any currency.

I really don't know why we should rebrand Bitcoin ? The name is already popular and well-known, I don't see the point of doing it..

in my opinion, bitcoin develops on its own, and he does not need to reread I do not know

It's not necessary and it would probably be very hard to do rebranding.
I don't see one good thing in this. Do you realize what would be the consequence of this?
1. Hundreds or even thousands of websites would have to be changed - updated.
2. You think others would just leave name Bitcoin? At least Bitcoin Cash people would grab this opportunity and stole name ASAP - there is no one who would say they can't do that. And probably also hundreds of other people would want to acquire this name.
3. Overall confusion in crypto. Definitely not good for adoption.
4. Exchanges... I can't even imagine all the troubles this would cause them.
And probably a lot of other things.

So in my opinion: NO, we shouldn't re-brand Bitcoin.

I think it's actually a good idea. If the majority of the community agrees, we could easily get the new designs done for bitcoin, I'm sure it could help the marketing purposes.

Bitcoin is a great brand name and it has come a long way to make such a solid name spread across every corner of the world. As a matter of fact, I have witnessed instances where novices refered to the all coins as bitcoin. Rebranding is not necessary. The sky is the limit once the speed and charges issues are solved.

First thing first you have to put a source/credits/links of what you are saying that is completely copied from other sites and not from your own words,

Bitcoin is not a company, that you mentioned for several times for rebrand. And what you have said for the rebranding are totally nonsense, if you're talking about its bad rep from the silk road, scamming, hacking. It's like you're saying every money (local currencies) and some online money like paypal have to rebrand too? All kind of currencies are used in any sort of illegal doings.

Regarding to its picture of Casascius bitcoin of course its only a model of a so-called physical bitcoin since bitcoin doesn't have any physical characteristics at all, a BTC sign is enough.

If you're also one of them thinking that bitcoin is a physical coin then all I can say is there's no cure of foolishness.

---

If there's something to be rebrand its BCH IMO.

Bitcoin is shapeless since it is on the digital world, the shape we see on the internet is only the imaginary form by artists, if you are looking for a company who will stand in the name of Bitcoin then I think that's the one we need and not rebranding.

The Re-Branding of bitcoin is actually no need to change ,it is just they think that bitcoin is getting low. All the new competitors of bitcoin are just emitating the ideas of bitcoin and process and with that if people who are very into it with the bitcoin may actually help them make it better and to avoid having rebranding because it may cause a big impact to the future and maybe it can also brings the bitcoin to be face out or banned or be gone. So for me no need to change but just need to have a security and troubleshooting for some maintenance and that's all.

why would u rebrand a well know brand name  ???Bitcoin is the most well know cryptocurrency in the world  .

No, rebranding is not required. There are so many different altcoins around, that's how it's dazzling in the eyes. Let it remain as a rarity. )))

I think rebranding does not need to be done on bitcoin, bitcoin is already famous, it already has a lot of fans. Rebranding needs to be done only for something that fails and wants to restart, if bitcoin changed name then I think it will not pull anymore.

And what is the need to rebrand bitcoin. Everything is going OK and the majority holds the same opinion, I feel. It is for sure an idea that would be refuted by most of the people on this forum. And the arguments that are put forward by the OP are not strong enough to move the majority opinion in the favour of REBRANDING for the bitcoin. It is not required most importantly!
Exactly...it would be a total waste of time, in fact! Instead there are many other issues regarding bitcoin that need foremost attention at this point of time.

Well in my opinion, it's not necessary to change it. It has already caught the attention of all people the way it is. It has known as BITCOIN, it will always be.

There is no need to rebrand bitcoin. It has already mark its existence in the cryptocurrency. Trying to rebrand or rename it would surely create confusion among investors. What btc needs are believers that the coin has a huge potential to change anyone's life to better one.

Re-branding bitcoin is like eliminating the mother of all cryptos. Bitcoin is already a definition of a cryto, and rebranding it would take effect in what the cryptos is.

No, well, what's the point. The essence of bitcoin does not change because of this, therefore it is extremely stupid ... why the new brand?)
What should this change?

I think that btc needs rebranding but I am not expert and I don't know how to do this. However, I am sure that the re-brannding of btc will help it to become more powerful and attractive to people and businesses

I think re-branding bitcoin is not a good idea since bitcoin is already known to world market and everyone and may be re-branding bitcoin may creates panic to many people.

Well in my opinion there is no need for a re branding or what so ever it would only feel very differently and bitcoin is pretty powerful and attractive the way it is so there is no need to do such thing, And if bitcoin would get a new-look it would only feel not like bitcoin but a different Cryptocurrency and would only worsen the decreasing value of bitcoin and even the worst makes it value depleted to nothing.

No i also think there is no need rebranding of bitcoin. because it may can affect investors. We need to more real life using of bitcoin.Then bitcoin will automatically rebranding in the world.

What do you say? Rebranding?
I think, no need nothing!
Bitcoin is brand by self.
Idea is bad and unuseful..

I do not think that this is necessary now or in the future. Bitcoin is a word that has settled in the souls of so many people and will forever remain there

Rebranding of bitcoin is not necessarily what we need right now. Now need for a change of name or anything. As for the physical representation, most people already know that bitcoin is a digital entity. The only thing I would love changed is the ideology of bitcoin; the perception people have towards it.

Btc itself is a huge brand that you do not require anything to do re-brand to it. If you are looking that it price should be high like 15k+ then wait for some time it will happen in this year and we should again be happy about the old btc is back.

Re-Brand Bitcoin is not required, bitcoin is already one brand. Bitcoin always brand and increasing price time to time demand and supply basis. So never want to re-brand.

Why do we need to rebrand Bitcoin? Is it because of rumors that it is a scam?  Well I think we don't need to rebrand Bitcoin since it has been proven by many that it is not a scam(only the people's manipulation makes it). And it is the standard of all cryptocurrency. It is making a hit. It may be low at times but still the most valuable amongst all cryptocurrency.

I don't really see the need of re-branding though. Bitcoin is built this way and it will never change no matter what. This is why Bitcoin is different from the rest because it doesn't need any change to grow, it only needs improvements. Also, we can't just re-brand Bitcoin, it has been use for so long and that its reputation is built with its name on it. Isn't hard forks basically a re-branding of something? Let's say Bitcoin cash and Bitcoin gold. They just changed the name and make it a little faster but it's still Bitcoin in nature.

Why is there a need to re brand a thing that has already got so much fame in its original name.

That would be a waste of time, money and energy everything.

Instead there are many other things and problems in the crypto market that needs to be corrected and taken care of.

So better concentrate on other key issues related to the crypto market instead of rebranding it!

no need i think , bitcoin has name and its quite famous rightnow , rebranding will make people get untrsuted to bitcoin in my opinion

that would be a good idea but since everyone knows about bitcoin, don't you know that any change will affect bitcoin. however we have been using it for transaction and other daily activities so i don't think that idea will be much valued for now. moreover changing the name or rebranding it will not increase the market structure and the smartness.

I don't agree that Bitcoin is seen by most newbies as a physical coin. How did you come up with that?
Bitcoin isn't confusing by even a bit.  :)
Also, rebranding a well known product usually doesn't end well. You can find many examples in the history of various companies that tried it. It would make everything even more confusing.

Bitcoin has established itself as a powerful brand through it's actions. For something that was near zero less than a decade above to trade at 20,000 within a short space of time, and to be potentially valued at 200k some time into the near future, is no mean accomplishment.

Imho, any attempt to rebrand Bitcoin will be a misguided one, and will only serve to nerf the brand.

Just a thought experiment: what if we consider the various Blockchain and Cryptocurrency launches as basically independent attempts to rebrand (and cash in on the aura of)  Bitcoin?

My personal point for that question is that it is no need to Rebrand Bitcoin. It has its own party in the world and people still believe and trust it.

No rebranding that bitcoin needed because everybody in this world already familiar with bitcoin.
The things bitcoin needs to improve is the transaction speed and the safetyness for the user.
If thhose things already perfect, i'm sure bitcoin will be the only one currency in this world

it does not need that because if the crypto world that already in fixed fixed crypto assets in gital,
I think it's like sepan

WE should not do this. Bitcoin has already established what is it, what it can do and how it will be used. This will provide confusion the the community if it gets rebranded.

The beauty of bitcoin is it uniqueness that leaves everyone guessing. There is certainly no need for rebranding. For rebranding to be considered, agreement has to be reached by various miners, but this is not needed.

I do not agree with rebranding Bitcoin at all because now the whole world knows it as Bitcoin. Would you rebrand Nike or Mcdonalds after such a long time it has taken to build these brands? I do not think it would be wise and it would just cause a terrible aftertaste and confusion in the market as there are many Bitcoin forks already and changing the name of Bitcoin would just make it all a lot worse. I do not agree to this idea at all but that is just my 2 bit.  ;D

No need to change brand for bitcoin.bitcoin has spent 10 years to build a foothold a solid brand in the world.  in the place where I live.  When it comes to cryptocurrency a lot of people do not know.  What is crypto?.  But when someone talks about bitcoin most people know.

Bitcoin has an identity and there's no need to rebrand and no compelling reason to rebranding for the name of bitcoin that after some time has increasingly request, on the off chance that you take a gander at the motivation behind bitcoin itself at that point there is no requirement for reiteration until further notice

Definitely a bad idea. Bitcoin cash was misleading enough, don't add anymore confusion for the public. Also, you are wrong to compare bitcoin with a company as it is not a centralized figure.

No now is no need to re branding bitcoin because when this currency was created then its branding already done and remaining till bitcoin will live.if Ur idea for re branding bitcoin is initiate than this will be a biggest loss for bitcoin because other coins replace bitcoin and its value. this is already a big brand and known as a bitcoin so basically no required any changes or branding.

Re-branding is definitely not required because BTC just touched 8k mark and it's just the beginning and you will see in near future how BTC will break new records.

There is actually no point in rebranding. Plus it will just cause confusion for the millions of users of bitcoin.  There will be so much to do if even that will happen.

My own opinion, its not useful to rebrand bitcoin because it already shows success. Many already know it as brand name. What best to do is just focus on upgrading the system so that it shows continuation.

NO, BITCOIN NEED NOT ANY BRANDING

I don't see any logic why we need to re-brand a decentralize currency that has already established for 10 years and it's getting popular around the world. Changing the concept of bitcoin will lose the trust of those investors and this will add some loopholes on the blockchain.  

I think that this is very difficult, you can see that recent bitcoin prices are showing signs of strong recovery, but can see that the market is still bearish, so bitcoin prices can still fall. strong at any time. Although bitcoin prices have increased, market capitalization has not increased sharply, indicating that volatility from altcoin is falling on bitcoin.

To be honest, I don't think that we need rebranding of Bitcoin at this stage because the growth is tremendous since inception and the momentum is still going on. I do see an adverse effect on the growth of Bitcoin instead of any benefits of rebranding. I think we should put more efforts in building awareness about it because of there many misconceptions among people regarding Bitcoin.

I agree. obviously don't need to do a rebranding to names of the bitcoin. so just need to look at the market to analyze price decreases or does bitcoin ride again

Most of crypto currencies will wither away as the market matures. Yet after talking to half a dozen people in every position across the industry, one thing is clear: Cryptocurrencies, through their names, websites, logos, and brands, resonate with people in ways far beyond getting rich quick. In a world where most of us feel helpless amidst big corporations and an indifferent government, we may define ourselves by the type of money we spend–and the special culture that our chosen coin represents.

no, we dont need to rebrand the bitcoin, i think the rebarnd is just for the product that doesnt have the user or there are no one that want to buy that produt, but we can see in here that bitcoin have the good demand and the price of bitcoin is high because of this. so we dont need to rebrand a bitcoin

There arw lots of fork and new coins which already rebranding bitcoin and fix bitcoins flaws and dis advantages but still people and investors still patronize bitcoinand if you plan for another rebranding you would create another coin and i dont think people would patronize it.

In my opinion, it isn't necessary because bitcoin is having a famous brand now after 10 years of growing.
We should pay our attention on solving current its problems like transaction fees and speed, security and making it become more popular.

Pro: Many investors will feel refreshed that bitcoin changes its face and have done some improvements (If they also plan to do some improvements about the coin).
Cons: More people will feel that bitcoin was irreplaceable and that it's rebranding might made it worse reducing the people who will go with the flow with the new and rebranded bitcoin.

Rebranding will just cause confusion to the community. I think it is just nonsense to rebrand bitcoin since its name is already well-known all over the world.

No because it will create confusions and conflict. We should respect the owner of bitcoin and that coin represent something we do not know that only the owner knows about it and we have to respect about it. Apparently bitcoin is one good name and in my own opinion that bit in bitcoin is something does related to a data in bits and coin as currency. So basically bitcoin is a very good name to describe the coin.

Yes.Bitcoin has already gained high popularity for the past 9 years.And it's not easy because bitcoin had experienced too much negativity from those judgmental people who barely never know the real value of bitcoin.But look at bitcoin now,it's still stands strong and firm.So i think there's no need to rebrand bitcoin  because people are already starting to love bitcoin even more.

Its either they lose their money from bitcoin because they knew it is the way to get rich faster or they don't know how bitcoin and crypto works at all for the people who say they lose their trust, rebranding can just cause confusion to let the BCH take the example for that plus bitcoin is not a company at all it is decentralized let alone the brand takes it's journey to the market rebranding is not a good idea at this point.

I do not see any valid requirement for going for Bitcoin re-branding. It is true that it has been depreciated but still it is more valuable and doing better than most of the other coins as well as stocks. Hence, there is no such requirement at the moment.

No i think its no! because bitcoin was already change many thing in our world and you could use it for many purposes like being alternative bank or stocking your money with some gaining or profit.

For me we dont need a rebranding of bitcoin, i agree that many country think that bitcoin is scam and damaging it reputation about it, but bitcoin live a long time now i hope the best for it.

I believe that rebranding doesn't make sense! Because the name of bitcoin is very popular and creates an aura of success around itself) ;D

 Rebranding in which perspective or in what aspect?

 Rebranding is more or less adding more value to the already made product or bringing in a new features to making a product more attractive to its customers. Bitcoin has gone thus far in just a short time interval with lots of activities which has yielded more positive and meaningful results and outcome. come to talk of it, rebranding, you just might be sending wrong signal to the entire members and customers even if there is nothing wrong going on. people might just be sceptical of it and if not properly handled i wonder what would happen. If there should b rebranding then it should be on the negative aspect of it and i believe that would wright the whole wrong already done in the past.

 

What do you mean rebrand? This action is unneccesary for us to do ths. 1) We do not know the creator of bitcoin. 2) Bitcoin is special why do we need to rebrand it?

Bitcoin is ok the way is it. It does not need rebranding. The alternative coins are created to work on bitcoin flaws

It's silly at this stage to rename bitcoin. Many people have already heard and know bitcoin. If you rename it, if you have about one and a half thousand other types of crypto currency, this will introduce real confusion. Especially, if there are already many forks, in the title of which there is the word "bitcoin". This is absolutely not worth doing.

I agree as well. rebranding bitcoin to something else may disfavour the community because most people now already know about bitcoin and changing it would only cause confusion, in my opinion. Plus, I do not see the need or benefits of doing so.

No definitely not a good idea people will only get more confused and may loose all interest in it, rebranding may not always work there're many examples of it being a flop, I don't see anything wrong just let it be at it is people are liking it the way it is. There is already mass adoption so touching any aspect of it now would be disastrous.

Not at all required to do re branding of the already branded stuff in the world. You require re branding when people do not know about it. Bitcoin is now famous and even it is known in the small countries of the world and its benefits.

If you now change the name bitcoin, this will introduce a very big mess. After all, most of the world's population know about crypto-currency more in the name of bitcoin. If bitcoin renamed, this would bring a lot of damage to the popularity of crypto currency. It is better to focus on the functionality of bitcoin, which he still weak, and not on his name.

I don't think bitcoin should be rebranded, it was created and designed in a unique way that should not be altered. Despite its challenges, i only think that efforts should be made by the developers  to curb the situations.

I think Bitcoin will not have the brand name as the big corporations in the world. Bitcoin is a currency that can be traded anywhere. So I do not think Bitcoin is a not kind of merchandise and will have the brand

I do not understand what you are thinking, how can a bitcoin be rebranding? whether the currency in your country also do rebranding?
bitcoin has been known to the world like this, jia bitcoin memili change it will cause chaos and confusion and even akn affect the price of bitcoin and other crypto

There is no reason to do that and some may think this is necessary to avoid some bad and negative effects on Bitcoin but if we do that it will be a failure from the beginning and Bitcoin will loose its war in front  the people who are trying to restrict and ban it. What should do is to inform the public about Bitcoins positive, beneficial side and also its real intentions and that can make a real change for Bitcoin in the world

maybe OP have new idea too what bitcoin is rebrand  ;D and if bitcoin not popular anymore, we can blame OP for it. bitcoin already good with good and bad side of it. so don't need rebran or even get Hardforked

I believe that no. If you do not like bitcoin there are so many other coins, no one forbids using them

It is not about rebranding the technology but it is about us rebranding ourselves. The technology as pioneered by Satoshi was a self sustaining one and it has stayed for sometime but we those who are "advertising" it should change. We scam ourselves, we spread false news and so on and so forth. We should rebrand ourselves and then it shall be better.

Why should we rebrand bitcoin. I really do not see the essence of rebranding bitcoin. Bitcoin already has the brand, name and value. Trying to rebrand it to any form may cause it to loose the value it already has because people will try to do more harm to it.

I don't believe bitcoin need any rebranding at the moment due to the simple truth of bitcoin ability to accommodate any further challenge that may come with time and trying to rebrand bitcoin is like making to loss it original image which is the king of crypto, bitcoin doesn't need any form of rebranding at the moment.

Most likely not a smart thought. Bitcoin as of now has it's name adequately spread out to the majority; despite the fact that individuals' impressions with bitcoin are presumably half positive half negative. Additionally knowing rebranding bitcoin may very well be a simple win for BCH.

Do you think it will be necessary because looking at where it has reached it will do it no good to re-brand all because people are really into it, besides it name too is nice 'Bit'  'coin'.

I think there is no reason to change bitcoin his brand the name bitcoin is already popular to the public and it's been known to everyone re-branding tike more time for that but for now let's live it that way on the way name is popular.

Any kind of rebranding should have been done nearer the beginning of the coins creation, now it is too widely used so rebranding would be difficult. Stick with bitcoin, there is already too much confusion with bitcoincash and other variants

Bitcoin is really very popular in the world and many people believe it for it name. I don't think if we change the name of Bitcoin, something will change.

I also believe it bro, bitcoin nowadays is getting a huge value thanks to people that believes and actually uses them for their businesses. Changing anything of its brand would get it worse because as of now its very easy to make a brand but its hard to make it famous. Another reason is that people would get confused of the old and new brands as it can also targeted by scammers because its easy to make a fake brand or look.

That is also my opinion on the theme. I do not think that it would change anything to positive. Rather, I think it would even be a disadvantage if you were to rename Bitcoin. The name Bitcoin is already well known and stands for crypto currencys. In addition, Bitcoin forks like BitcoinCash could say that they are the real Bitcoin, if the real Bitcoin no longer bears the name Bitcoin.  ;)

 I think we don't need to Re-brand bitcoin, re-branding bitcoin has no use at all. Because even if how many times that bitcoin will Re-brand it is always the same thing and it will always becoming more trend and amazing. So we don't need to Re-brand it in order for it to become more amazing.

I think you overstating the  negative publicity that bitcoin has received over the years. There is no need for a re-branding at this stage, it will be a horrible move!

Bitcoin is the face of cryptocurrencies, even people who know nothing about the cryptoverse, know about bitcoin. After all it is the fastest growing asset of the century!

What is needed here is improved investor education. People need to be more informed about the true potential of bitcoin, bitcoin does not need to change itself. People who have zero knowledge about cryptocurrencies want to invest in bitcoin, so a better marketing strategy is clearly what is not needed. All that we require here is a better set of investors who are well informed about their prospects.

Not really. Bitcoin itself is good as of now. We knew it from the start and making a big name in the world

Not really, every thing might be remaked and remastered, it's nothing perfect and we should always chase the best

I don't think there is any need of re-branding because if we do this now it sure affect the popularity of bitcoin. There is nothing to do with this because people accept in this way.

Nice topic and nice statement,  they don't need to re-brand but need to put some thing in better shape for more productivities which bitcoin need to have more followers to increase in this project

Bitcoin is already popular and has lot of followers but the problem is not the followers but the technology and user friendliness because there are many altcoins with better features than bitcoin and bitcoin needs to upgrade it's feature like transaction speed and all to stay on top.

indeed there is no need to rebranding, because it is not needed, especially now that bitcoin has also begun to develop so much that there is no need for such a thing, because bitcoib has been fighting for its development.

What actually will a branding of bitcoin be of an important to. Persoanlly it is of no use. We of this noble fraternity have to embrace it in good faith as to which road it leads us we areconfident of the end there of bitcoin that surely we will overcome. It is the old bitcoin we know and no other period.

I believe that reputation needs rebranding, not bitcoin itself.With him just did everything in perfect order and the brand just became recognizable.There's no point in doing anything with him.If we do not retreat,we will definitely win.Another question is how to convey the essence to the masses.At least the young, the old can't catch up.We need more advertising and explanatory programs.It is necessary to explain the essence, goals and benefits.And also to remove the factor of fear and distrust.These are the main tasks at the moment, I think.And of course you need to constantly improve the mining system.Make it more efficient,powerful and safe.

Is it really needed looking at how far our mother coin has come, many are now familiar to bitcoin and re-branding wont be that necessary, it will only make us start afresh.

What will really be the essence of rebranding btc, it will definitely give a start note and differnet perception of people about the crypto.And as the mother of all coins, this will really give a band note for the other coins and really not put the crypto world in good shape before those who are evening trying to join.

No, you cannot re-brand bitcoin. You cannot do it because you have think about it. Even though you have made a survey and majority have agreed (which I think wouldn't happen), it will not really happen. Also, if you really try to do it with best thing you can do, it will just make confusions and negativities on why you have done it. We have known bitcoin of what it is,  and I am (maybe majority of users here will agree),  are contented km what it is now. Even though it is what it is, it reach its current state that no one ever think it would be that triumphant.

in my opinion i dont think that in a crytpo market bitcoin it is a need of a re brand because there is no such a reason for that.

Right.I think let it remain its one and only brand bitcoin because it had already made a lot of trademarks to the different lives of people.And considering bitcoin,its still the topmost coin today and the most favorite coin of all time so no need to change its name anymore.

No, I don't think it needed. Rebrand can't make the market up, rather If we go for Rebrand then bitcoin will need bounty campaigns to reach again all people. Still, a lot of people don't know well about bitcoin. I think we have enough and we don't need to rebrand bitcoin.

Bitcoin doesn't need that at all. Satoshi Nakamoto must have thought carefully about what and how the name Bitcoin was given. And we also don't need to re-brand because Bitcoin is already well-known throughout the world.

Bitcoin is good at the moment, i do not think that it needs to be modificated, even with the actual prices and the actual merchandising is more than good to be honest

Rebranding Bitcoin for what purpose, new name will take many years to establish, Bitcoin itself is a strong brand, we have seen BTC rising from few dollars to thousands dollars a small span of time, crypto market is in bad phase now a days due many issues, legal concerns, hackers and other small issues but I trust this market will be back to track in coming months/years.

To some, it does not need rebranding but to me bitcoin needs to have a new look, thus to change others perception about bitcoin. Even though bitcoin is gaining more and more name for itself, it still needs a change in other to make it attractive to those who seem not to get a grasp of it

Bitcoin itself is a strong brand, we have seen BTC rising from few dollars to thousands dollars a small span of time.we will definitely win.Another question is how to convey the essence to the masses.At least the young, the old can't catch up.

It is pointless to rebrand the king. Bitcoin will always be bitcoin. If you are going to rebrand it, reshape it or change it, majority of bitcoiners will not accept it. Efforts made will be useless, systems and everything will be ruined. Let it stay at it is.

The bitcoin can develop and because of it, other countries has successfully evolve

I agree, to some bitcoin and crypto is that much confusing so why add more confusion to the mix. I agree with you, it should have been done sooner or at least closer to the coins creation

It's not necessary, Bitcoin is famous with its name, just like the brand. Nobody will accept rebrand bitcoin because it will cause the unnecessary disturbance.

On what reason you want this bitcoin to re-brand? Let me guest, you are tired of seeing bitcoin price below of its ATH last year (2017) right? You want to rebrand so you can take a slot from the early birds slot to get more profits when its mooning, of course i dont want to rebrand bitcoin,  and there is no reason to do that. Because bitcoin doing well.

what's the point of rebranding bitcoin? I think it's not necessary and will never be able to do, the only thing which can do is create another option or segwit

Recently, BTC-e has announced to its Twitter followers that they are now back in business with a new brand, on a new trading platform called Wex. The new domain has the same interface and platform as the old BTC-e, and at the time of this writing, Wex was trading at 484BTC. Everything is the same except for the new name, and the familiar customer will be happy to see that the 'chat box' still works well. On the Wex homepage, there is a welcome message from the Wex team, explaining how customers can trade and withdraw money.

No.

But this is not a brand tho. It's not something that we have to sell. It's something that people will eventually adopt assuming that things go as expected.

It's the absence of research that makes people confused. Had they done their research, they wouldn't be thinking so.

Did you expect a bunch of zeros and ones? Bitcoin is abstract and a physical coin is something the reader can understand better than codes.

It's not like that. You can't just change your name and appearance and voila! your reputation is now cleansed. You're all new. You're never known by people. You're a totally different brand. ::)

After the rebranding, do you expect the community will suddenly all be lovely and not full of shills?

This is not a company.

I don't think so. There is no need for a rebranding. The name is above every other name in the world of cryptocurrency, so why change it? If you hear cryptocurrency, you cannot avoid hearing Bitcoin also. I guess everybody knows this. You cannot hear Ethereum or Ripple or any other coin except getting the name Bitcoin first. I guess what is needed this time are more and more shops and stores and stalls and malls to start accepting Bitcoin.

I agree. Changing the name of a brand with a nice amount of years in the market who also reached a decent level of costumer preference and fame would an irrational decision.

It can definitely be compared to the names/band of Coca-Cola and McDonalds changed when they were growing exponentially after some years in the market and gathering a good amount of success.

Nobody can really blame some people for wanting a more appealing name or maybe image for Bitcoin. However, things are not always perfect, that doesn't mean it can't work. We can't forget though, that the most important invention that came with Bitcoin was Blockchain(and that is saying a lot). We are yet to see the real potential of Blockchain in society.

for me rebranding as of now won't really offer that great help in order to make bitcoin perform better.
in contrast it could even worsen the situation where bitcoin is in now.
i believe that we must stick into what ever it was known to be.

Your moniker (ETFbitcoin) is clairvoyant. To even think that you saw the BitcoinETF idea when you registered your account in 2014 is a prophecy in itself.

I deviate...

Now, back to the OP. I believe rebranding bitcoin has been ongoing since August 2017 when the first fork happened that gave birth to Bitcoincash. Every Bitcoin fork is an attempt to rebrand bitcoin. Has that helped? I would say an emphatic no!

Why do we need to re brand such a demanding concept because the way I see there is nothing wrong with bitcoin and its concept the only problems we have are some political problems and bad image that was created by people who have no idea about the potential side of bitcoin so if w are going to change them through re branding bitcoin they have already won the game. So what we have to do to develop bitcoin is by making it more usable to general public and businesses by increasing adaptation and that will make bitcoin more helpful to communities and companies which eventually increase its image   

i think so, bitcoin don't need to be rebranded, the bad image about bitcoin is only about high fluctuations and there are many people who are harmed, even though bitcoin has a lot of benefits if we use the features provided, all that needs to be done is to show to people that bitcoin has many advantages such as being able to make our transactions faster

Yes, right. and of course there is a risk even though it's small

Bitcoin have a great history and there's no reason to be rebranding because bitcoin have already give an impact to the world and bitcoin also the first product of blockchain technology that could changes the future.

I am fully in support of some of the points raised here especially those that needs to be reviewed and amends. There is a need to create more awareness on the nature of bitcoins as only a digital or virtual coins  that is not physically possible to see. Those who graphically represent bitcoin with a drawing of coins should think otherwise. I also will like the technical input of bitcoin to come to terms with the present reality on the problem of scalability of bitcoin and help to reduce the time of transaction completion. The issue of high cost of transaction charge also should be tackled.

Do you really think that Bitcoin needs re-branding? There's no use in it. The whole world knows what is it and how it works.
Good branding company is useful for some new coins in order to attract more people using an interesting name and eye-catching logo.
Bitcoin is the most powerful coin and will remain like that for a long time. So there's no sense in losing time for inventing something new for it.

Right.It doesn't need any rebranding because its name itself is already a masterpiece.Bitcoin has been so much beneficial and helpful to all the people who uses it and those who invested it either in a short or long term.And if ever a new brand will replace it,it will only give confusion to the users and investors of it.

There isn't easy to deceive everyone in the present, the media or some expert in economic field will know that. And for me it's useless if we re-branding bitcoin by just changing the name, whilst the characteristics and everything about bitcoin still exists.

I guess every day there will always be someone some media who were said that a company accepts bitcoin or many people jump in and use bitcoin or some media that were said some companies aren't interested in bitcoin, or other negative information that can make a person's trust disappear.

Both information can still be said to be balanced cause it won't adversely affect the development of bitcoin. Let someone know bitcoin according to their knowledge, if bitcoin is really a payment system or a valuable asset in the future, then we can only wait for it and otherwise.

What is the point of re-brand bitcoin? Recently, BTC-e has announced to Twitter followers that they are back in business with a new brand, a new trading platform called Wex. Everything is the same except for the new name, and familiar customers will be happy to see that the 'chat box' is still working. I do not think so. The name above all the other names in the world of electronic money, so why change the name? I guess everyone knows this. I guess what is needed this time is more and more shops and shops and stalls and shopping centers to start accepting Bitcoin.

in the past bitcoin is the king. but now the maket so bad. so i think we don't need to do this thing.

Bitcoin at the moment, works great and no rebranding to him, and he needs only issues of network scale

No way, BTC is the brand itself and it is actually where it price begins. And if it will come to it - who will do the re-branding? Satoshi? I don't that there is such person who can do that actually.

There could be some merit in rebranding Bitcoin- however as others have pointed out the practicalities of so doing mean that it unlikely to happen.
A rebranding exercise could help to push it into the mainstream and remove some of the negative connotations. 

I don't think it's necessary, this bitcoin already has a good logo and name, so there's no need to re-brand it for now, what is needed is to increase the use of bitcoin for several payment methods on several platforms.

Bitcoin shouldn’t be rebranded, however new technical features should be added and they should be promoted heavily. Bitcoin brand itself is very recognizable and if it was a company it would have very highly priced goodwill. A lot of people in the world found out about cryptography, blockchain, and cryptocurrencies because of bitcoin.

OP was absurd yet funny at the same time. Bitcoin's name was already established and rebranding it will make more confusion. Why mind the name if it's doing great im the market? Only those shitcoins that didn't succeed did this, just to make a fairly name again.

Goodness, don't make things complicated.

Branding Performance may change, hopefully Bitcoin.co.id Stay VIP with all its services so that we all love you more as an ok Member. GOOD LUCK

Well bitcoin is design in such away that any attempt to rebrande it will ditter it from it original form and that is even impossible because no one have access to that, bitcoin at this point don't need any form of rebranding and bitcoin is already doing well at the state which it is. Bitcoin will skale through the present challenges to becoming a global currency which will be widely accepted by all.

Bitcoin is a BIG NAME already, what we need to do is all of us take apart to advertise bitcoin positively

why? what would be positive about that? if you are not happy with bitcoin's present state, please wait a little more, BTC is gaining more trust and more acceptance every day.

If you eventually rebrand bitcoin it will create doubts in the minds of the persons we want to adopt bitcoin,after a good consensus,rebranding should be when we have the percentage of mass adopters that we think we need,but no need for rebranding, bitcoin has a good name ..

In my opinion, it would not be good to re-brand bitcoin. Bitcoin is already a well-known "brand" and stands for crypto currency like no other name. In addition to this, others would then use the name and profit from it and this would be really bad.

Ridiculous idea, and the bad reputation you say ..I don't know about that either.
Enough scandals with fiat money, nobody cares and everybody uses it.

I think bitcoin doesn't need to be rebranded. It is still in demand, even though it is technically obsolete.

Why fix something if it is not broken?

we should wait for the right time, don't sell the coins we have in a hurry. because that is very detrimental to us. so we have to be patient and be patient even though it's a long time.

Bitcoin today is the best one. We don't need to enhance or to do something because bitcoin is ready since Satoshi Nakamoto implemented this coin. You learn to contented with bitcoin everything has. Bitcoin is the best no need to change.That's part of the market don't be greedy in getting profits with your trades you better hodl it.

The cue is really quite securely held, after all these troubles!
I think that if we see 1000, it will not be soon, at least not in the next six months. In the meantime, it will be necessary to develop closely monitor the development.

Re-branding? I don't think it is pretty much necessary for a re-brand, what is necessary is to put up a solution to every problem that BTC is facing, the name stays, almost every part of Bitcoin should stay, and I don't even think that devs will even make a re-brand to BTC, that is way out of their plans, there is no need for a rebrand, what we need is a solution.

I believe so.There's no need to rebrand bitcoin since it has been popular already for almost 9 years.I think what we should do is to get more demands for bitcoin so that it will not continue to pull its price down.If only a mass adoption will happen sooner,then it will be an advantage for bitcoin to grow its price continuously.

I dont think we need to rebrand bitcoin, what bitcoin needed is improvement in every way specially in transaction speed and how we can use it in our everyday lives like when buying groceries people can pay via bitcoin. If that happens, Bitcoin can be forever.

I don't think rebranding bitcoin is necessary. Bitcoin is already a brand name or a household name. So many cryptocurrencies have been named after it. All we need to do is to see how more merchants can adopt bitcoin for payments. We also need to increase the level of awareness.

The reasons that you are giving for the necessity of rebranding bitcoin seems very weak to me, the name is not confusing, at least not to me and I have not met a single person that said to me that the name was confusing, second since you are talking about brands then you need to understand that if you were to change the name of bitcoin then we will need to have to start from zero all over again, businesses spend a lot of money in marketing to try to make people to recognize their brand and that is something that bitcoin has achieved already.

And finally it is true that the media has made an effort to spread bad news and create a bad reputation for bitcoin but I do not really think that is that important, when the time comes and people realize they need to use bitcoin in their everyday lives they are going to forget all about that.

I can understand where you are coming from but I don’t see the re-branding of Bitcoin having any effect on bolstering its reputation nor making it less confusing. Let’s also take into account the logistics to perform such a task, which would cause more chaos and confusion than anything.

People are now acquainted with the name Bitcoin and will get used to how it works as adoption starts to kick in and they start to do transactions.

I think bitcoin needs rebrending. It's rather outdated and new technologies are already much faster.

Rebranding is a very expensive process and not always useful. It took a long time for people to start recognizing bitcoin and its visual look and logo that changing it now will not make any sense. A bitcoin doesn't have a bad reputation to be rebranded. The opinions about bitcoin will always be controversial and rebranding will not be efficient in this case.

I don't think the problem lies in the name (bitcoin). But I agree that perhaps, it needs some re-branding --a way to effectively communicate to society what it is and what benefits they can enjoy from it. Most of my friends only know of bitcoin as an investment. Some even think of it as a get-rich scheme and only a few recognize it as a potential currency. I think marketing bitcoin the right way could help people embrace it more.

I think the development of bitcoin because the community does not need to repeat bitcoin, let bitcoin run as it is and let the public determine the direction of the development of bitcoin in the future.

No, bitcoin is already established and recognized by its users. To rebrand bitcoin now will make it even more confusing, don't you think?

I think bitcoin doesn't need to be renamed, because bitcoin names and images as a tool to exchange and conduct transactions are good enough. Regarding negative images such as illegal, criminal, it's just a news issue highlighted to bring down bitcoin, because that's the other side of the negative campaign offered in countries that have rejected bitcoin.

I think Bitcoin is a popular name in itself and this will get even more fame in the next 5-7 years. Because as we are seeing, people have begun to take an interest in it and also understanding it, that's why the followers of Bitcoin is increasing daily. Therefore it is not necessary to re-brand it or change its name again.

I think it's unnecessary. Bitcoin has already been created and its technology continues to evolve and improve. And these are the best indicators of its success. And the trust in him is already there, and over time will only improve.

I think that it is not necessary to change bitcoin. He already has a formed idea, which in itself is remarkable. People just need a little time to understand this technology and get used to it.

Not everyone accepts bitcoin only because they are not fully aware of its prospects, opportunities and advantages. But over time, trust in him will grow and strengthen. Therefore, it makes no sense to change anything in it.

I think this is not necessary. We do not need to change the bitcoin brand as all investors are very familiar with it. If it changes, we will take a long time to promote it to everyone. Let it grow naturally and I believe everything will be okay. Time will help bitcoin go to more investors.

i dont think bitcoin need rebranding.
bitcoin is great name and its symbol is also best and no need to rebrand bitcoin.
just developer can develop bitcoin more.

I think cryptocurrency and so seen constantly from different sides, but to impose a certain view is stupid

  No,because bitcoin become famous since it was created until now. Original brand is much important and valued by the people than the re-brand. Let us stay bitcoin as what is it from the start until the end of it...but i think it will not end. Bitcoin will continue to live as long as there are demand and supply in tye market.

No need indeed. Let bitcoin be the Bitcoin we know, just add some improvement on speed, and less fee when sending so that it can be competitive with other emerging coins. Many bitcoin fork are already in the market some had succeed but most are slowly fading and delisted from exchanges.

I think there is no need for us to re-brand bitcoin because in tge first place it is the name that makes it popular. It is also the first crypto. Many already knew about it and its usefulness.

Bitcoin does not need that because it has done enough for people to believe it. At present Bitcoin needs a pump that helps it rise fast, to create new trends and return to the golden age that it has done before. What we need at this moment is to pray for it.

No! What rebranding are you talking about? Is it the name you want to rebrand? Or the golden coin symbol? Please let's not do things that will create confusion and make Bitcoin loose its swag.

Re-branding Bitcoin is a good idea to bring more defined shape and mental acceptance on people. Well, I personally feel that re-branding bitcoin has to do with what you want to achieve with it. Are you trying to bring more relevance to its name maybe because it has had a negative effect on people? or you wish to present it as something new to the world but still leave its original idea and features in tact? Whatever your end objective is, it has to be a gesture to bring more life to its name and give more value to its meaning and usage.

I think that's a bad idea. Because the Bitcoin brand has been around since 2009 and now it takes a lot of effort to make it a great name as it is now and is trusted by many investors and buy it. Renaming a brand is one of the worst ideas for me.

Rebranding will just confuse new investors. Besides Bitcoin is already a good brand name and didn't need another new name. Branding is only for a name that has no impact in the people.

do not, remain resistant and patient. just relax the wheel will spin. wait for bitcoin to peak again

If there is no time limit, then almost at any stage it was possible to go into a plus, as history shows. And if you look at the graph for the last two years, so in General the statement seems strange.

No, there is no need to re-brand Bitcoin. This will take away its founding name to which many people are drawn to. Plus we must consider the benefits of this change if any.

in my opinion, that's not necessary. we get bitcoin with difficulty and why we have to return bitcoin so easily. restore bitcoin is a very wrong step because it will make the supply of bitcoin more and more in the trade market and will make the price of bitcoin drop further. we better save bitcoin in the long run and we sell bitcoin when we really need an urgent cost of living.

I think there is absolutely nothing to change in bitcoin. Its technology is already pretty good, and the fact that it is full of skeptics - it can not be corrected. People will still trust bitcoin, you only need more time for its development.

Bitcoin is already too popular to change anything in it. This will only further complicate it and be confusing to many investors. In addition, all of us, investors, trust this bitcoin, which has been developing for 10 years. No need to change anything.

Do you think Re-Brand bitcoin?


First of all You face many problem
1.all people think it is face.
2.Second party came into the front.

Secondly  this brand is establilised.if you doing re brand then people can reject.

i don't think so. this name make popular for this coin. i don't think they will re-brand it

There is need to re-brand bitcoin. change  is the only thing constant in life. But before that they have to tell us what the re-branding is all about.

I think that the market itself will put everything in its place. Many skeptics predicted the fall of bitcoin to 3k this year. And this did not happen. Besides, every day I watched less and less negative news about bitcoin.

That's true and bitcoin is already know as people it's name and their are no reason why bitcoin will be re-brand.

I don't think that btc requires re-branding. To my mind, it doesn't have such a need but this can be arguable because some experts can consider it necessary

I like btc the way it is now and have never thought about rebranding but maybe it is possible to change something because nothing is perfect. i think it is possible to change btc features a bit

if you are issuing Bitcoin, will you re-brand your product??  if I issue Bitcoin, I will not re-brand my product at any time because Bitcoin is a perfect name, very right and nice to hear. Bitcoin is the name of the most perfect cryptocurrency, as it has its own charm,  so re-branding Bitcoin is a useless thing to me.

I think that Bitcoin does not need re-branding. This can lead to a lot of forks that are already very much so now. Time shows that all Bitcoin forks are a failure. Even BitcoinCash is a failure.

How can Bitcoin be rebranded if it doesn't belong to anybody?
A lot of people know that "Bitcoin" is cryptocurrency #1, but after rebranding, if we change the name, most of people will be confused with such name-changing.

The concept of re-branding is wide when it concerns bitcoin. I want you as the initiator of the re-branding to enumerate the aspect of bitcoin you think the re-branding should affect, starting from the consensus mechanism.

I don’t even know, because if you will look at the bitcoin demand and how bitcoin controls the entire cryptocurrency market, I wouldn’t say that bitcoin needs rebranding because bitcoin hasn’t been able to show itself completely due to the ban of laws in various countries, so we just need to wait and we will see bitcoin full power.

can’t be sure if this is actually a rebrand or if this is just Bitcoin Cash trying to stir Bitcoin Core into another battle. This seems likely, since Bitcoin is doing well at the moment. By jumping on the hype train, increased coverage for Bitcoin Cash could do the value of the currency some good  ;D

I don't see the need to rebrand bitcoin in whatsoever form. Bitcoin is not a physical asset or currency  with which alterations are usually done with ease. I believe bitcoin goes beyond that respect, there is no need to make any change in bitcoin.

why do we need rebranding? and so it is great PR, even the most negative news can lead to growth

OK, I totally agree with you that renaming a brand can cost a lot of time and effort, and it also hinders identification, and ultimately it's not necessary to do like that

The rebranding that I wish for is just software upgrade ,bitcoin needs some few better upgrades to make transaction more faster and the fee is still huge not to talk about when bull run comes ,last year when bull run occurs it was pretty hard to transfer fee due to been costly

Bitcoin is already a brand itself and an icon for this cryptocurrency market and the first ever coin. This market comes in existence from bitcoin and its brand value is still intact as it has a major pie of total investments of this market. There is no requirement to re-brand it.

Exactly, there is no way to rebrand bitcoin in any way. I believe bitcoin is backed by by blockchain technology and any form of rebranding would be really difficult. I believe we  should just allow bitcoin to be as it was programmed. We can only promote this amazing digital currency to the rest of the population.

There is no problem with the name, "bit" to show that it is computer related product, for lay people it is very clear for them and "coin" to that it is something that related to wealth, there is economic activity in it and a medium of exchange. The bad thing here is the past of bitcoin that used for illegal activities. This is our job to change the bad image of bitcoin to be a good image so people can see bitcoin as useful thing/product of satoshi nakamoto and bitcoin minners. So rebranding is in our habbit, please use bitcoin on the e-commerce marketplace.

Bitcoin isn't something owned by one man and is rebranding new thing in currencies? Was anyone rebranding gold or us dollar? If you don't like transaction confirmation times, anonimity or other things, then there are altcoins like bitcoin cash, ethereum, monero and etc. If you don't like that it was often used in dirty things, you can't change past so accept it or reject this coin.

Rebranding of bitcoin requires a sharp thought and excellent socialization, because it is not certain that the idea can be accepted by the community of bitcoin users in general. I appreciate your ideas about rebranding bitcoin, but also I doubt that the idea will work well according to what you expect, for that I think what has been there now is something that is good enough, and only needs further development so that it becomes better and can give satisfaction to every bitcoin user.

Why should we need to rebrand bitcoin if it is it's identity since it was launched? From the very beginning up to where it is now, bitcoin is only the name that represents the whole cryptoworld.

I think Bitcoin is unique to our crypto market and it's probably a priceless brand name. And franchising is not possible when people join the crypto market for bitcoin search. That is the symbol for every brand in the market.

I don't think re branding in Bitcoin because this is still established project. Don't need to new look. We are need more concern regarding Bitcoin for trying to makes global currency like as paypal because paypal working in many countries as a legalize currency.

I think we do not need this idea
We are still in the process of spreading the idea and introducing bitcoin
How do you ask for a change?
This change too often will create confusion and unnecessary differences

All this ... and no single benefit of this proposal.

I do not like that idea, in order to have popularity, rebranding is not a good solution. We must support and share bitcoin to our friends and fa,ily so that they will buy bitcoin also. If they see the good result upon investing on it then there is a big possibility for bitcoin community to grow further. If we just have a good marketing side in bitcoin definitely, price will hike and hike time by time. We just need to share its idea.

Bitcoin doesn't need a rebranding of name, that will be like taking it back 10 years ago. Being criticized by people doesn't mean you have to change your name in order to become a new person, you can never avoid criticism and same it is with bitcoin. People, media will always have something negative to say.

Rebrand Bitcoin? What for?! There's really no reason to do so. Bitcoin is well off with its original image and credibility. Its popularity shadows that of all other cryptocurrencies. Yes there have been issues and stuff, but that's all normal. Bitcoin is and will still go through the process. And by process I mean all the good and bad stuff. Bitcoin will strive and become stronger in the coming years. So there is really no need for rebranding.

No bitcoin is not need the rebranding, to make bitcoin more popular, i think bitcoin should tell all people about their advantages and benefit to all people in the world, to tell them about the benefit, so all people in the world want to use bitcoin as their currency

To change the brand of bitcoin you need to get the approval of the majority of people, even people have agreed then you think it will have a confusing effect, divide it?

i think bitcoin is okay the way it is needing no further rebranding

Bitcoin has already been rebranded in order to improve certain features like the transaction speed, transaction cost, insufficient transaction capacity etc. However, non of those rebranded form is still performing more than the original Bitcoin. This shows that the problem is not with rebranding of Bitcoin. Bitcoin has got an intrinsic feature of growing on its own because it seized the opportunity of being the first cryptocurrency and built a strong and supportive community. With time, Bitcoin will emerge out to be greater than what was witnessed in December, 2017.

in my opinion not. if we return bitcoin simultaneously then it will make the supply of bitcoin abundant and will worsen the price of bitcoin in the trading market. now the most appropriate is to hold our assets so that we do not lose more capital. indeed the price of bitcoin no one can predict and this is what we have to face as crypto users. we can trade to return lost capital and expect prices to rise again.

There is no need for bitcoin rebranding. It already has a famous name which is strongly assosiated with crypto, blockchain, decentralization, privacy, security, etc. Furthermore, it would be difficult for the whole community to come to a consensus with a particular idea of rebranding because everyone would have their own view on it. This would only cause confusion and divide the community. Rebranding would not change the essence of bitcoin but would only lead to unnecessary disagreements.

Maybe in the future rebranding would be beneficial but as of right now I think it would only hurt Bitcoin. People only very recently started taking a much bigger interest in Bitcoin and there's plenty of people who know nothing about cryptocurrency but they've heard of Bitcoin. If we take this name and image away it would slow down the process of Bitcoin being accepted, at least for now.

In my opinion the name Bitcoin has become a popular name worldwide, beating the overall cryptocurrency name. Many people do not know the name altcoin, but certainly know the name of Bitcoin to explain digital currencies. So rebranding is not necessary, just to align with the interests of countries that have refused to be able to be used in that country.

Rather than a re-branding, what Bitcoin needs the most is a re-denomination. Each Bitcoin should be divided by 10,000 units and the maximum supply should be 210 billion rather than 21 million. This will make Bitcoin more affordable.

I don't think that there is a need to re-brand Bitcoin because it does not make any difference as they will still works the same way.

What's the sense of all of this? ??? Rebranding Bitcoin name? Where the heck did you get this senseless idea?
Can you explain it to me why the name "Bitcoin" is confusing so I will understand it more clearly? ???
Rebranding or changing name doesn't make the past erased and it will remain forever even if you rebrand or rename it more than a million times as you please. This kind of idea is just a plain nonsense and will not help Bitcoin's progress or development and I guess you know nothing about Bitcoin, Blockchain and Crypto Currencies.

And even if that kind of idea of rebranding is processed(and I am pretty sure that this kind of mess will never ever happen) it will make no impact with Bitcoin's overall flaws and the community will see no sense about doing it.

I say rebrand with a patriotic feel =D

Enlightenment Era & Civil Rights Era are two good periods to study.

Curious, who will do it. I do not think that Bitcoin will be ever re-branded. It is the cryptocurrency which is known as the best one. Even without any changes, it will be the same BTC loved by all.

How can we rebrand Bitcoin if the owner is hiding. Some ICOs are actually a rebrand of Bitcoin with added features. All of them offers a decentralized solution.

Really no need for rebranding, It will get more power day by day and we all know Bitcoin is the first application of blockchain technology.

I think bitcoin doesn't need to rebranding. rebranding is done when a product is not in accordance with the vision and mission of the product made. and when the product or brand already has a negative connotation in the community.
Bitcoin is now well-known as a leader in cryptocurrency and already has many investors. if there is a change in the form or logo of the bitcoin the community will be confused and not necessarily all bitcoin holders agree to this change. Bitcoin prices are down at the moment probably due to some big whales. be patient, bitcoin can definitely pump again no need for rebranding.

i think no need to do that because already 10 years birthday for btc, bitcoin already have a fame in market and all over the world.

There are any reasons for rebranding.

In my opinion, bitcoin does not need to rebrand because bitcoin still occupies the top position as the leader of crypto currencies. Bitcoin is still very popular among the public. Bitcoin is also still in control to influence the price of other crypto currencies. I think bitcoin needs to create innovation. Real innovations provide benefits to its users. I suggest this so that bitcoin can compete with other crypto currency coins and not be threatened. I am sure that if bitcoin is able to display innovation as an effort to improve it to restore public trust, bitcoin will rise again.

I dont think anyone can rebrand Bitcoin. We can only do hard forks and make a new coin out of it but Bitcoin will be bitcoin. The people are the support for Bitcoin and I dont think anyone will come forward to do this.

I believe everyone will understand what bitcoin is regardless of the name! I also personally don't see the negative image that bitcoin gives off. I think if we were to rename it now, it would add further confusion to bitcoin.

i think bitcoin does not need rebranding, it still proves its popularity and this will continue, all that bitcoin needs is more to speed of transactions and minimal commissions.

Bitcoin is one of the names i love so much. Internet (Bit) and Money (coin). What a perfect name. I think re-branding  of bitcoin isn't necessary.

That is unnecessary because it only consumes us time and can cause confusion

Bitcoin doesn't need re-branding in my opinion. Of course it has its drawbacks but it's alright because it was the first one, it's natural to have such mistakes. If we re-brand BTC it will no longer be itself.

Why should we going to rebrand the bitcoin? Bitcoin will remain itself don't need to rebrand it because many people use the bitcoin and adopt it, rebranding the bitcoin would affect the world of currency so that no need to rebrand it, specially the name itself is the one who got became popular all over the world.

It seems to me that Bitcoin has a lot of problems because of which, unfortunately, we can’t start to grow further, so before we can start the bull race again we have to solve the existing problems

You're correct about that homie! ;D Bitcoin has already established its name for one decade and there is no point of rebranding this kind of technology and innovation to our monetary and payment system, and if people got FOMOed last year, bought the skyrocketing price there is no blame to Bitcoin because Bitcoin isn't an investment only people decide to invest in this technology even if you read the White Paper of Bitcoin there is nothing about investment inside it. 8)

And to add up, there will be no one doing this because rebranding Bitcoin is nonsense and there is no point of doing that thing just a waste of time and energy that could be used for more useful developments. :D

Do we think re-branding is the solution? Bitcoin requires massive advocate and awareness creation by the renowned Bitcoin users with much influence in our societies. This is what will push its patronage to hit the mainstream adoption.

No need for re-branding bitcoin, it might be confusing and maybe it may ruin, bitcoin has been widely known and it has been started to adopt by the community so there's no need for re-branding, just let it be.

rebranding is critical since bitcoin is bitcoin we should not go for rebranding it might affect the market of it and can lead to negative effect, bitcoin was already designed as what we see now on it. That is why many coin are release on the market because of that idea.

There is no  need to re-brand bitcoin  as it is gradually been accepted so I think it  is not possible to re-brand ,the nature of bitcoin cannot be changed

we don't change anything from bitcoin dude? we just change the image of bitcoin which seems negative to outsiders, I think it doesn't matter? many bitcoin competitors, give bad information so that the bitcoin image is bad, that's what we will fix, with rebranding

Bitcoin's name is already famous and i think it's cool enoough for something valuable.
It will be so weird if something changes from bitcoin.

bitcoin dont need rebranding the bad reputaiton and misuse in bitcoin is one good on it because its the proof its survive from past

If you eventually rebrand bitcoin it will create doubts in the minds of the persons we want to adopt bitcoin,after a good consensus,rebranding should be when we have the percentage of mass adopters that we think we need,but no need for rebranding, bitcoin has a good name ..

I think bitcoin does not need rebranding as it already real rebranding it may affect its value negatively as some people may not trust it again. Bitcoin has the best security on blockchain with good reputation as the leading coin which has attract many investors to believe fully on bitcoin. Rebranding might affects all this features

People, especially those new to crypto might be more confused about it if we re-brand it. On another note, as users/traders, do we actually have the power to re-brand it in the first place?

Rebranding a product/service which is well known brand after 10 years? For what? Rebranding bitcoin is waste of time and sourches that can be used for strengthen position of bitcoin in financial markets.

I don't think bitcoin need re-branding, but as for bad reputation generated by press circulating all over the internet and news papers, all of this needs to be corrected so that people can start to build back their confidence and start investing.

That's a gret idea, actually.
The concept of Bitcoin as well as its image and the term itself are getting a bit stale. The perception is biased, people are predisposed to thinking in a particular direction because of what they have heard or read about BTC.
Sure as heck the foundation is how people view it, and that is what needs to be just a bit altered, but as fast as possible.

I don't think it's necessary, because the name Bitcoin already has its own magic, and I think if we re-branding Bitcoin it will reduce investor interest. so what we need to do is not panic, HOLD your Bitcoin and wait for the price of Bitcoin Bullish again..

I really do, bit don't know how technically possible it is. But we need to make some updates on it to ensure it can meet up speed and support some micro transaction.
I imagine what will happen if bitcoin keep surging higher and high. How we can keep up with the slow confirmation.

 In my opinion, re-branding of btc is needed because time is passing and everything requires changes. To my mind, it is better to rebrand btc with time. We will be able to re-brand btc with time

That is unnecessary because the renaming of BITCOIN is just a formality, and sometimes it is done by many people.

I think bitcoin doesnt need rebrand. Bitcoin brand already powerfull in market and thats why people attracting to invest in bitcoin. Its true that bitcoin have a hard condition in several months but i think the brand of bitcoin still powerfull

I think we don't change anything fundamental from bitcoin. we just change its image, because the image of bitcoin might be pretty bad. that's what we will do mate! we need to rebrand to bitcoin for the better so that many people realize and aware that bitcoin technology is very important and useful for us

Getting a brand to be recognized is very difficult, even if there are some negative connotations when people hear about the name bitcoin it will be a terrible mistake to change the name of bitcoin to anything else because if you did then it could be possible that many coins will try to claim that name and it is only going to create confusion among new investors.

I think Bitcoin does not need to be rebranding. If Bitcoin is being rebranded then its bad effect will be directly on Bitcoin. Because many people in the world know crypto currency as Bitcoin. And due to all this, market value that bitcoin will also decrease.

I think there needs to be an intensive promotion of bitcoin, because the bad news about bitcoin is very massive in various news, so the price drops. No one can lift the bitcoin image except the bitcoin users themselves. Because external factors greatly affect the reputation of bitcoin, rebranding is not necessary but I think the promotion of bitcoin is very necessary.

It is really unnecessary. I don't think that we should re-brand bitcoin. Its name already go with us for a long time, it is quite good. No need to change.

The question is who will rebrand it. Satoshi Nakamoto?. well for me I do not think BTC need any rebranding again because it has been rebranded so many time and the result is those fork we have today. everyone is building on improving bitcoin performance and the result is thousands of crypto we have today. the fact is that this has done much damage than it help grow bitcoin.

I don't think it needs to be done because it will not change anything, it might even make things worse, there is no guarantee that Re-Brand in Bitcoin will change the situation now towards a better

No we should not because bitcoin has designed already this way and had already been operated since 2009. I think there is nothing really a problem with bitcoin system. If there will be things to be modified, re-Brand then probably I will suggest about the change on anonymity features. If this feature will be remove then there is a better chance that abuse use for bitcoin will be minimize.

I think it is not necessary, change the name? purpose, image or other attribute? I know something that is legend is always consistent in every form from the beginning the product is created, because it is proof of consistency, existence and consumer trust, if it is changed then the result will be obedient, of course bad

We all know in these past months there are a lot of bad things happen in the world of cryptocurrencies especially the market value of all cryptocurrencies that are still dropping down even at these moment and even that tragedy is continuing to happen even at this moment i dont think that Bitcoin is needing to rebrand itself just to change anything because for me even they rebrand itself nothing will change if theres nothing new or some upgrades will be happen in their technologies and also their special feature that people will always use for the everyday happenings that connected to cryptocurrencies i know that there will be someday that Bitcoin or Satoshi Nakamoto will make another steps to change everything that will make a brand new start forr Bitcoin to rise up again and to show itself how good its technology that can be a benefitable or profitable to a lot of people in every part of the world.

I agree, I don't see a need for rebranding Bitcoin. People already heard of it, they somewhat know what it is and how it is used and if they want to learn more they will do it. No need to re-brand it.

Rebranding couldn't change the problem of bitcoin. There are major aspect to be affected so the tendency less people will know about it. Let bitcoin be bitcoin forever as we all know it is decentralized and popular so let it remain as that and let the team change whatsoever is necessary to do for the growth of bitcoin economy.

There is no need to rebrand the bitcoin because as of now, it is fine as what it is now. If ever we rebrand the bitcoin, I think the users and the possible user of it will not acknowledge it as bitcoin and maybe it will bring a little confusion and hesitation. Bitcoin is now growing and this brand is what popular to people.
 

Bitcoin does not require rebranding anymore, because it has been popular and in demand by millions of users spread throughout the world. Only promotion or information is needed that is more focused that bitcoin is a digital currency, not a place for money laundering or terrorist funding. Such an assumption is wrong, it must be explained by bitcoin users.

I do not think there is any need for Bitcoin to Re-Brand. Because many people know the crypto currency as Bitcoin. If Bitcoin is re-Brand. So it will only damage Bitcoin.

No need because it will create another market price correction which will relatively drop for more. As we experience now that market is in bad situation it should not be undergone rebranding for it will undergone another market price fluctuation which I am afraid of as an investor of cryptocurrency. Besides, bitcoin is working well right now and the best thing to do is to find a way to create higher demand for bitcoin.

I also think like that, Bitcoin is the most popular crypto that makes crypto known to many people. Bitcoin is like the crypto parent so Bitcoin doesn't need RE-Brand because Bitcoin is already known by many people.

Rebranding is not appropriate for bitcoin. Its name is very well known in the world. Its popularity and potential attracted/attracts investors from everywhere. Rebranding is nonsense to make bitcoin much greater. The dump and pump in normal trend that we should be prepared of every unwanted possibility of lose or to earn.

well, of course this will not be so influential because many people prioritize the function of the brand. after all, bitcoin is very popular nowadays, and the price has dropped due to pressure from various parties.

This is really not necessary, and I think that what Bitcoin lacks now is not the brand, but because Bitcoin is not friendly to the novice, which may block many people who don’t like learning from the door of crypto, if Bitcoin to be truly popular, the first question to be solved is how to make it easier to use and close to people's lives.

This is the most weird idea i have ever heard :) Why would we change the brand of bitcoin? In 10 years the Bitcoin had place in the markets, in the world. Do you know what is the 2018 searching trend in google? If you start to search with "what is" the bitcoin word was most searched one on the google in last year. So this is one of the most popular word ever! Why would we change it? Are you okay?

No I don't think that there is a need for some re-branding, Bitcoin should stay how it is, nothing wrong and I don't think that people would even like that concept if Bitcoin gets rebranded, however it will actually clean the name of Bitcoin since the name will be rebranded as well and that I am sure of that the people would get to change their impression within the new BTC but it will have lots of outcomes and I don't know if people would either appreciate it or hate it, so I don't think that BTC needs rebranding, what Bitcoin needs not rebranding rather than to evolve and adapt with the upcoming technology and upcoming cryptocurrencies in the future.

I dont think we need to rebrand bitcoin, what bitcoin needed is improvement in every way specially in transaction speed and how we can use it in our everyday lives like when buying groceries people can pay via bitcoin. If that happens, Bitcoin can be forever

Popular from all other types of coins and known to everyone in the world in my opinion even though some countries don't know about virtual money. Only need to further develop Bitcoin and the many new benefits that will emerge from Bitcoin.

We should not re-brand bitcoin, because it is already serving for a decade now and its name is already known and familiar all over the world especially to places that are  using digital currency, bitcoin had establish its name as a bitcoin so it should not be change to other hind of name.  

There is no need to re brand bitcoin. Bitcoin is known around the world as bitcoin. So if you re brand  it it will start again. And you should start to promote it again. So there is no need to rebrand it.

I think bitcoin no need to re-brand. Bitcoin brand already strong in many country and people already know about bitcoin. Bitcoin just need more time for growing and we should hold our bitcoin if we want bitcoin price recover again

If Bitcoin is strong for you, why does Bitcoin experiencing a great dump now? I know that it is normal to fall down like that but do we really need say that it needs more time? It don't need time, Bitcoin will recover if the investors chooses to. The investors, users and traders and holders are the one responsible for the price changes. Also, doesn't mean you are holding your Bitcoin, you will be earning money or the price will pump, it will not. That srill depends.

What coin definitely doesn't need rebranding is Bitcoin. Where did you get the information that bitcoin has a bad reputation? And what is this bad reputation at all? I have not heard of it anywhere.
Yes, many weak and stupid people tend to blame Bitcoin for what happens to the market and that the coin! is blame of their failures. But do we really need to take into account the opinions of these people? These people don't see beyond their nose and they are not able to admit their mistakes, so no rebranding will definitely help, these people will continue to blame Bitcoin (or something and someone) for all their misfortunes.
Rebranding also doesn't resolve the issue that people can associate Bitcoin with some kind of physical coin. This is the usual ignorance. Time will help to cope with this question. People need time to learn about the blockchain and the currencies created on it. For this crypto enthusiasts have to talk about it with people who don’t know about it yet.
By the way, Bitcoin is already very modern, so it doesn't need rebranding.

I think bitcoin is not necessary as you say. because so far bitcoin has been established, there are still many who do not believe it, if bitcoin is changed as you think, of course it will start over. because bitcoin travel is also certainly not yet at its peak.

Branding does not imply a name change. Branding is just a change of style, mostly external. I do not know how branding can be attributed to bitcoin because it is a digital asset and it does not have such a style. Maybe that's his main problem. I would try to draw something interesting, but only if someone paid me.

FOr what sort of genuine reason will cause a rebranding of bitcoin. Very serious or is it about music where we can easily rebrand or what. ANd as far as i know even in this current form of bitcoin there is no alts coin that has made better name as bitcoin which will cause a rebrand of name. Am sure this recent dips has cause all these and i believe when they tables turn for bitcoin these same people seeking for rebranding will all hail for bitcoin.

Bitcoin does not need rebranding. All bitcoin needs is people who be able to adapt to the change in the way goods and services are transacted  within the Blockchain ecosystem. People need to understand the advancement Bitcoin present to our financial ecosystem and adapt to this change.

What does OP mean by rebranding? Is it changing its name? the way it is used? I don't understand.

If that's what he meant then there goes alt coins. Every single day there is a new coin that is launched for a specific usage based on customers and none of them ever get over bitcoin for a long time. Why re-brand again?

I believe that this is not a good idea . Why we need to rebrand bitcoin ? There is nothing wrong about the name , we should not rebrand but rather expose .

It is not necessary to re-brand bitcoin, because even if its name will be change but still it is a bitcoin, so the name bitcoin will be still the name ,because its been for many years ,and bitcoin is looking good ,it is only now that the market is in falldown and all coins are affected ,and if we change the brand name it will not make the market rise immediately.

Rebranding is a marketing strategy in which a new name, term, symbol, design, or combination thereof is created for an established brand with the intention of developing a new, differentiated identity in the minds of consumers, investors, competitors, and other stakeholders. Often, this involves radical changes to a brand's logo, name, legal names, image, marketing strategy, and advertising themes. Such changes typically aim to reposition the brand/company, occasionally to distance itself from negative connotations of the previous branding, or to move the brand upmarket; they may also communicate a new message a new board of directors wishes to communicate. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebranding (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebranding))
Yes, in the world of crypto currencies, some teams use rebranding. For example: Dash used to be called Darkcoin, Neo used to be called Antshares, Nano formerly known as RaiBlocks. Behind the rebranding is not only the change of name, but also some internal changes.
But, as I wrote above, Bitcoin doesn't need rebranding. In my opinion.

I think that it is too late to rebrand bitcoin because it has been developing for 10 years. Moreover, it is already good enough, just not all people understand the technology and because of that, born such a huge number of skeptical opinions about it.

I do not see anything wrong with the modern image of bitcoin. He is developing well, even despite the huge amount of skepticism around him, but the technology itself is not to blame. This is just the opinion of people and their misunderstanding of bitcoin generates such a negative.

bitcoin is unique in its own way and it has no mistakes neither  does it have corrections to be effected nad as such does not need to be re-branded for any particular reason as it is working within the framework needed by the team of programmers that did factor it.

I think Bitcoin's strength lies in the fact that he remains in his almost unchanged form from the very beginning. We should make sure that it remains traditionally unchanged than thinking about rebranding

Of course we don't have to do that. Bitcoin should remain a bitcoin and continue to develop on its line. I don't think there's anything about his technology or his image that needs to be changed.

I do not think that something needs to be changed in bitcoin itself. It is necessary to change the attitude of people to it, to educate students at universities, ordinary people, it is necessary to increase their knowledge about bitcoin. The more people will understand it, the less skepticism will be around cryptocurrency.

Though I don't think they will all be interested about it.

We all know that people have their own point of view to these kind of things and we should respect what it is though the problem is that they have their own point of view not knowing what really is Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. I do know some people that are saying things they don't know about it and other people are believing it since they don't know what really is. They are spreading information to other people and it is really frustrating..
