Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: headingnorth on January 17, 2023, 05:18:43 AM I'm a big supporter of bitcoin but I don't think that is a good idea at all.
People will just think you are crazy, and bitcoin doesn't need to have the image of its supporters being crazy. You can go around wearing a nice bitcoin t-shirt or hat, or even a jacket with the bitcoin logo on it is a good way of engaging people in casual conversation about bitcoin. Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: un_rank on January 17, 2023, 05:22:45 AM I assume this is a click bait post, but if it is not, then it is quite an unnecessary approach naming someone what they may or may not be interested in. Allow your child grow and explore all their investment options while guiding them with relevant knowledge and information.
I believe this would in a little way help promote mass adoption of in my locality and the nation at large. Almost certainly not. No one would purchase an asset cause a random person bears that name, it would just be a story for bloggers at a time and can attract little attention, but nothing in the long term.It would pop up questions like... what is bitcoin? Who created bitcoin? What are the advantages of bitcoin? How does one acquire bitcoin? etc... And this would accord me the opportunity to enlighten them about bitcoin and the advantages it has. How about starting a course to teach about bitcoin and interested people would find you out?- Jay - Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: mk4 on January 17, 2023, 05:25:12 AM Want your child to be bullied? Because that's definitely one way for your child to be bullied.
If you want to make an homage to Bitcoin, probably at least pick Satoshi or Hal instead? Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: digaran on January 17, 2023, 05:38:33 AM Congratulations man, way to go bud! Is it a girl or boy?
Imagine your kid growing up asking on internet who made, created bitcoin? And sees the answer Satoshi, the kid comes to you and says: daddy why did you lie to me? When your kid grows up and becomes an adult, imagine a boyfriend/girlfriend saying I had sex with bitcoin.🤣 Sorry I have a mind of a pervert couldn't help not bringing sex to the mix.🤭 Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: pakhitheboss on January 17, 2023, 05:49:53 AM I am a big supporter of Bitcoin but it doesn't mean I would name my child as Bitcoin. Think about your child's future. He might be objectified due to his name in the school. This name can also invite unwanted attention. I personally don't like your idea but it is your baby you can do whatever you want to do. BTW congratulations!
Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: uneng on January 17, 2023, 06:07:00 AM There are many ways to create bitcoin awareness and interest from people in your area without using and compromising your child for that purpose. I wouldn't like if my parents named me Dollar, Euro, Yuan, Yen and so on... Probably nobody would like to.
Anyway, since Bitcoin is forbidden in your country, I think you won't be able to register your child with this name. A country which is so strict at the point of banning Bitcoin, must be also strict regards the names babies born there receive. Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: Rruchi man on January 17, 2023, 06:25:55 AM OP, I understand that you love bitcoins and you want to play your part in ensuring that Bitcoin get adopted majorly but I don't think that naming your child Bitcoin is a good idea because names are powerful and children often share the attributes of the name they carry in my culture. Bitcoin is good yes and we all love it but you should also understand that bitcoin is sometimes unstable and unpredictable, so deciding to name your child bitcoin means that you are prepared for a child who may be sometimes unstable and unpredictable to you as they get older.
There are other ways to promote Mass Adoption, you don't need to name your child bitcoins. Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: lovesmayfamilis on January 17, 2023, 06:31:46 AM Definitely fishing. OP, what else would you do for money? If someone wants to advertise something, should children suffer from their idiocy? If I had been named after any discovery at the time of my birth, I would have simply hated my father.
But yes, if you go back to the heyday of the USSR, then you, OP, would be on the same footing with these idiots. Quote Technology and Sciences https://www.learnrussianineu.com/unusual-soviet-namesThe USSR actively developed science, so many parents borrowed their children’s names from science. For exampe: from athematics – Algebrina and Gipotenuza (algebra and hypotenuse), from physics – Om(Ohm), Elektrina (electricity), from chemistry – the names of minerals and chemical elements: Rubin (ruby), Granit (granite), Radiy (radium), Geliy (helium), Volfram (wolfram), etc. https://www.rbth.com/lifestyle/328635-9-most-horrendous-russian-names Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: worle1bm on January 17, 2023, 06:35:39 AM I am also of the same opinion that naming your child bitcoin won't help in mass adoption as there are many other ways for it.See your thought process is good but when implemented in reality then it doesn't sound so good because we are talking about the life of child and the name should be decent not bitcoin specifically.You can have awareness camps or set up some educational classes for people around you or make masses aware about it with your children education about it so they can help others when they grow up but leave naming him/her with bitcoin.
Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: Oshosondy on January 17, 2023, 07:29:55 AM Do not worry about bitcoin adoption, you do not have to name your child bitcoin, no one name their child bitcoin and the adoption is all what we could see. There are other ways you can help like teaching others about bitcoin, having a seminar about bitcoin and helping in the decentralisation of bitcoin and its network and by being one of the people that buy and hold bitcoin. You do not have to name your child bitcoin.
Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: Aanuoluwatofunmi on January 17, 2023, 07:45:12 AM If i were you i would rather change my own name to bitcoin than giving my newly born child a name that does not have a religious or cultural meaning or interpretation, bitcoin is good and can be adopted as alias (nickname) but consider how your child will feels when he grew up to discover you gave him that name out of millions of names available across the world, it also gives people a clue to what you do as it's just like announcing yourself that you're into bitcoin on your child's naming day, dont you consider privacy for yourself as well, lastly people bear names like "Creflo A. Dolla" which has a meaning behind why the name is taught but in case of bitcoin, am totally in support of bearing the name but it would have been for yourself and not the new born child.
Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: xSkylarx on January 17, 2023, 07:49:22 AM Sorry, but did you make up the way you told this story for attention or merit? But okay, let's just assume you have an upcoming child and decide to name it a bitcoin. My input was that it was a dumb idea. I know we love bitcoin, but naming our child after it is the wrong move. I wouldn't agree on this, and it is not nice because for sure he/she will be bullied at school because of this, and for sure he/she will be hardheaded towards you and ask why you named him Bitcoin. Give your child a decent name, not bitcoin.
Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: siedemtrzy on January 17, 2023, 07:50:10 AM As everybody said, I think that's a bad idea. Most likely your child will be bullied and have a rough childhood. Kids won't be interested in what Bitcoin is, they'll just make fun of the poor kid. And Imagine if BTC will just lose its power and won't grow as we expect.
Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: bakasabo on January 17, 2023, 07:59:15 AM My advice to sokani is to stop spoiling your child life. As people said, 100% your child is going to be bullied. The kids are very cruel, sometimes unintentionally. If you want your child to grow non-confident, secretive or even alone - continue what you are doing.
You have said that you have chosen such name, because you believe in Bitcoins potential. What an awful way to express your support. If you are such a Bitcoin believer, why dont you have changed your name and surname? You know that adults can change their given name? Try it first on yourself. Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: taufik123 on January 17, 2023, 08:01:26 AM there are many ways that can be used to raise awareness about bitcoin, and that doesn't mean you have to give your child's name Bitcoin, which will stick with him for the rest of his life. You don't even know if your child will like the name or will become the bully of his friends.
The same goes for bitcoin lovers and I deal with bitcoin on a daily basis, but when dealing with children's names I would prefer a name that is more appropriate. But back to yourself as a parent, whether this is wise or not. it is also your right and no one forbids it. Do not worry about bitcoin adoption, you do not have to name your child bitcoin, no one name their child bitcoin and the adoption is all what we could see. There are other ways you can help like teaching others about bitcoin, having a seminar about bitcoin and helping in the decentralisation of bitcoin and its network and by being one of the people that buy and hold bitcoin. You do not have to name your child bitcoin. As you said about teaching about bitcoin, giving understanding through social media, and many more ways that are commonly used. In fact, it is more effective. Bitcoin adoption will continue as time goes by, there is no need to make ridiculous things by giving a child a name that is not a human nickname. Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: hatshepsut93 on January 17, 2023, 08:25:55 AM This is a highly selfish and irresponsible act. Having stupid name will create a lot of problems for any person, biggest of all being bullying, but also people not taking them seriously, not trusting their identity and so on. And it would achieve absolutely nothing for Bitcoin. US dollar or Mastercard or PayPal didn't become adopted because people named their children in their name. They became popular because they offered good utility.
If you want to make an homage to Bitcoin, probably at least pick Satoshi or Hal instead? Even Satoshi or Hal will get a kid bullied, unless they are Japanese or American. Children are merciless. Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: SOKO-DEKE on January 17, 2023, 08:44:48 AM Seriously, I don't think there will be anybody that will advise you to name your child Bitcoin just because you want to make awareness of it or for the love you have for it. So op go and get a better religious or culture name for your child.but I am not saying that Bitcoin is a bad as name because I don't know your point of views but as for my own views naming your child is not appropriate op.
Making awareness of Bitcoin can be done in different ways especially in social medias and also by teaching close once. Sometimes people even find what is good and benefit by themselves not still we continue to make awareness of it. I believe Bitcoin is a better alternative currency to fiat currency and also good investment idea that people will later be looking for not still make much awareness of it. so i don't make much awareness rather than people see in me. Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: Jawhead999 on January 17, 2023, 08:54:15 AM Why you're not change your name to Bitcoin or add "Bitcoin" as your middle name, let's see what will your life be after that change. If you think the change is good, you can name your child with Bitcoin. You need to think and try it first before do anything to your child, it's a selfish act and I hope no one will have a same mind like you.
I just imagine if my friend name is Bitcoin, any people will ask for Bitcoin and bully your kid if he's not own any Bitcoin. Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: sunsilk on January 17, 2023, 09:04:32 AM We're all for bitcoin but I think naming it after bitcoin is really an odd and crazy idea. Think of your child if by the time that she/he is able to play with friends, what do you want your child to be called?
Who created bitcoin? There will be kid philosophers that will answer this and will say, it's you and your wife. I think it's okay to think of a better name than bitcoin or have it named to your car or any object but not to your kid. Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: Outhue on January 17, 2023, 09:04:41 AM Are you on weed or something? Do you know what the impact of Name is in someone's life? If you name your child Bitcoin and something unexpected happens to Bitcoin in future it means you have ruined your child's life, he will be nothing but a failure at that point in time. And mind you, Names are forever magnet 🧲 that can never be erased till death comes.
A nickname is better, not the actual name. Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: TribalBob on January 17, 2023, 09:38:14 AM I don't think it's a good idea, to name your child after bitcoin,
it would be nice to give a normal name, when your child is small you can't argue with what you give, don't make your child look different from the others because that will make your child's mentality not good in the future because of a name Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: Adbitco on January 17, 2023, 09:44:04 AM This won't contributes to the max adoption of bitcoin either would your first baby makes it popular to people around your locality.
Basically as a newborn baby the would not have any effects to promotes bitcoin, it's only something moveable that can travel very far or within your state and locality that could be possible be named bitcoin. For instance, your cars, motorbike, or your T-shirts or shoes can be presented bitcoin on it maybe whenever you drive by people could likely asked you about to know why you printed them all over, then you may start introducing it to them and telling them. But the Idea of naming your first child bitcoin doesn't really goes well. Besides are you a presenter or a TV host, a Press? Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: glendall on January 17, 2023, 09:47:38 AM Want your child to be bullied? Because that's definitely one way for your child to be bullied. If you want to make an homage to Bitcoin, probably at least pick Satoshi or Hal instead? this will happen when the child has entered elementary school and even the upper class later, it's true you said it's better to use the name shatosi than bitcoin there are lots of ways to mass adopt bitcoin, supposedly it's better to think again about naming your child bitcoin , OP Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: crwth on January 17, 2023, 09:57:45 AM This is the first time I read a post about naming their offspring Bitcoin. I know there are a lot of BTC maximalists that would do the following
You could do those things, but naming someone would be different. Imagine the future of your child. It's not a good idea, but I hope you do what you feel is best. It's still up to you. Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: CryptSafe on January 17, 2023, 01:03:31 PM I do not think this would augur well in the nearest future if your child grows up. Bitcoin does not need one to bear it as a name. It has already made a niche for itself so therefore naming your child bitcoin would have no significant effect on it as there has already been a platform for which bitcoin has thread up on for so long. Bitcoin has come a long way to this point of no return that one would answer it as a name to create awareness about it. I would advise you think of something else to name your child as it does not ryhme and not in terms. Save yourself the stress of complaint of bully from your child in the nearest future. I think you should look for a more suitable name for your child because answering bitcoin would not in any way aid in bitcoin adoption and promotion as it already has that done for itself.
Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: NotATether on January 17, 2023, 01:17:27 PM I think it's kinda weird, but you know what? Your life, so your rules.
Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: alastantiger on January 17, 2023, 01:27:05 PM Many congratulations on the birth of your child. I agree with you, the birth of a child brings joy and happiness to the home. However, I strongly advice against you naming your kid after bitcoin. If public awareness is what you seek you could buy a dog, a cat or whatever animal and called them bitcoin. You could brand your car with a bitcoin sticker. You could have bitcoin graffiti on your house. You could start a blog and write expensively about bitcoin. You could vlog about bitcoin. You could buy airtime on radio and talk about bitcoin. There's a lot a ways to create awareness but not by naming your kid bitcoin. Think critically about it.
Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: Issa56 on January 17, 2023, 01:58:58 PM Am just suprise seeing this thread, to be honest it really sounds crazy to me, why will you name your child bitcoin, I don't think it's really okay, I think if you are looking for a way to spread bitcoin adoption, then you should look for a better way, but naming your child bitcoin is not really okay to me. But everything is left to you and your wife, if you still want to name your child bitcoin, then no problem but hope your child won't end up regretting later in the future?
Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: m2017 on January 17, 2023, 02:04:49 PM ~snip I don't think that it will be important for you to listen to my opinion, which doesn't support your choice if you have already decided on the name for the unborn child, but I will nevertheless voice this as an alternative vision for your situation.I don't approve of your decision because the mass adoption for bitcoin has to go the other way. Now quite exotic names for children have become widespread, against the background of which Bitcoin will be lost and will not stand out in any way. I doubt that someone, having heard such a strange name, will wonder what kind of technology it is and you should definitely study what it is. Bitcoin should be distributed as a means of payment or an investment vehicle, a completely new technology with many possibilities, and not as a fancy name for a child. Therefore, I believe that the goals you are pursuing will not be achieved in this way. I gave my opinion, whether you like it or not. Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: stompix on January 17, 2023, 02:15:53 PM I think naming my child bitcoin will not be such a bad idea as it would help create awareness about bitcoin. And then have him painted yellow, tattoo a BTC on his forehead, and use him as your advertising puppet! Because yeah, who cares about what your kid will think, who cares what might happen 5 years from now just like those morons who named their kid Daenerys and now have to listen to how she is being bullied and getting called names because their parents have nothing better to do than name it after a character they knew shit about. Don't you have any other way of raising awareness now, and not waiting 7 years to make a kid and name him like that? If you want to make an homage to Bitcoin, probably at least pick Satoshi or Hal instead? Or better this with Harold, 'cause that was his real name and you don't risk screwing your kid's life! ;) Besides, I don't think that many would know what Hal refers to, if one more movie gets made from the Space Odyssey series, 99% will think of the computer rather than Hal Finney when hearing the name! But yes, if you go back to the heyday of the USSR, then you, OP, would be on the same footing with these idiots. Worse things can happen. You can name your girl Candida, that's Latin for "glowing white" only to see how a few decades later that is used mainly for describing gut and vaginal infection. Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: mendace on January 17, 2023, 02:43:45 PM It is understandable that you are passionate about Bitcoin and see potential in it, but naming your child after a cryptocurrency is not a good idea. A child's name is an important aspect of their identity and it should be chosen carefully, as it will have a lasting impact on them throughout their life. Naming your child after a cryptocurrency, especially one that is banned in your country, could potentially put them at risk and cause difficulties for them in the future. Additionally, there are other ways to promote Bitcoin and educate others about it without involving your child's name. It would be best to choose a name for your child that is meaningful and has personal significance to you and your family. Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: bittraffic on January 17, 2023, 03:09:34 PM I think there was also a thread about naming a child "Satoshi" I tried searching for it but I couldn't find it anymore. I think the name Satoshi is fine but Bitcoin as a name will be a terrible idea. Of all names you could think of, your child will definitely question you about it. You could at least try something that sounds like a name but without the word "COIN" on it such as Cryptopher or Peertopher. :D Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: Yatsan on January 17, 2023, 03:32:17 PM If you are really into something olease don't involve or forcefully relate it to other individual other than yourself. You just removed the rights of your child to have a 'normal' life. What could happen? You are being too delusional I guess, sorry. What if issues happen in the future concerning this blockchain? what if your child get bullied? What will you do? Solve it yourself? this is being selfish if this is true. Bitcoin indeed is a good invention but this is just too much as others have mentioned. I am saying this 'coz I know someone did the same thing but on different thing. His child became the center of attention;both good and bad because of its 'weird' name. One thing I've learned? orevention is better than cure. Be responsible enough before making a decision.
Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: virasog on January 17, 2023, 03:41:04 PM I'm a big supporter of bitcoin but I don't think that is a good idea at all. People will just think you are crazy, and bitcoin doesn't need to have the image of its supporters being crazy. You can go around wearing a nice bitcoin t-shirt or hat, or even a jacket with the bitcoin logo on it is a good way of engaging people in casual conversation about bitcoin. Yes, i agree that naming children bitcoin or maybe ethereum is not a good idea. Have you ever seen any person name like Dollar or Euro or Pound ? I haven't seen such names in my life, so how can you name a kid bitcoin ??? To tell you truth, once such a kid will grow up, people will make fun of him, so avoid such ridiculous names. Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: Woodie on January 17, 2023, 03:59:19 PM It's not a bad idea to name your child bitcoin, but to be honest it's a very odd name and he could have to explain to everybody how this name came about, but I think either Satoshi or Nakamoto would sit well with him and could grow to like it when he learns of the man's history , better yet call him Cash(Kash) this will relate to someone having money.... Otherwise Names shouldn't be complicated but bitcoin sit well with me.
Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: schupp on January 17, 2023, 04:44:25 PM Naming children is a difficult subject. In the European country where I live, it would probably not be possible to name a child Bitcoin. But in other countries like the US, there seems to be more freedom in this regard.
It is always a question of whether you are doing a child a favor with such an unusual name. I think, rather not. If you absolutely want to give a very unusual name, I would rather consider it as a middle name, for example. For example, Oliver Bitcoin + last name. That way, the child can choose whether to use the middle name in everyday life or to keep it a secret. Personally, I would not give Bitcoin as a name at all. Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: julerz12 on January 17, 2023, 04:45:11 PM If you want to make an homage to Bitcoin, probably at least pick Satoshi or Hal instead? I agree. Satoshi or even just Sato is a far better choice than Bitcoin. At least those are somewhat proper names.@OP don't name your kid with any crypto (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc), it looks odd and would definitely sound odd. Just name him/her properly and teach him/her about crypto and its possibilities at the right age rather than stamping him/her with the identity you have pre-chosen. PS. Congrats. I typed him/her because I don't know the gender. You're on the road to sleepless nights and packs of diapers. :D Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: Bitstar_coin on January 17, 2023, 05:33:44 PM I don't know how you managed to convince your wife to agree to this but my Honest opinion is - it should not be the name of a child. Btc is great no doubt but you should look for a name that represents a great meaning, something your child when grown would be proud of.
I doubt your child would be happy with a cryptocurrency name as his/her birth name. You can always support and spread the word of btc in different other ways other than what you have intended. I hope you will reconsider. Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: kryptqnick on January 17, 2023, 05:56:19 PM I don't think that a name contributes to success, to be honest. If a name is typical, it's probably neutral to whatever the child goes to do. If it's not neutral, it can add some expectations or increase the chance of bullying. I think a name should be appropriate for a culture and that parents should choose either regular names or special names which have positive significance for the community and aren't likely to be a cause of ridicule. Also, keep in mind that a child may decide to relocate, so perhaps at least considering basic context of English should be taken into account as well.
If Bitcoin is banned, you're naming your child as a form of protest, I suppose. I get that, I see how it's inspiring you. But I'd still consider carefully how easy to pronounce the name will be in your local language, whether it has rhymes or similarities with bad words in your language (in mine, for example, 'bit' will be associated with 'to hit someone'), etc. You want a good life for your child, and a name will define this life, at least until a certain age when a person is legally allowed to change it (16, I believe, in my country). So please ask yourself whether your child's interest are best accounted for here. Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: Japinat on January 17, 2023, 06:14:12 PM Good day guys! I would really like your input on this subject. It is the joy of every parent to see their children standout and excel in life and when these little ones are born parents bestow upon them names according to their tradition or culture, religion, places they like or have been to etc. Some of these names can contribute greatly to the success of a child while others has nothing or little impact on a child. I picked this unusual name for my child because I believe in it, it's potential and I think it is more than just a cryptocurrency. It is a new method of looking at finance and having an identity of oneself as a player in the financial world. It is a revolution cutting across the financial sector like a wide fire and I'm happy to be part of it. I know this might sound crazy to some persons. Actually, I've been thinking about this for sometime now and I have discussed it with my wife and we have agreed to name our first child bitcoin. We got married last year and we're expecting our first child anytime soon. I'm from a country where bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are banned by the government and I think naming my child bitcoin will not be such a bad idea as it would help create awareness about bitcoin. For persons who might have heard about bitcoin, it would make them to be curious as to why I came up with such a name, while others who don't know or haven't heard about bitcoin... It would pop up questions like... what is bitcoin? Who created bitcoin? What are the advantages of bitcoin? How does one acquire bitcoin? etc... And this would accord me the opportunity to enlighten them about bitcoin and the advantages it has. I believe this would in a little way help promote mass adoption of in my locality and the nation at large. I surely hope that you will hold that thought and give some lots of time thinking more about it because that kind of move that you guys are thinking won't be redone that easily once your 1st child will be born as changing name isn't that cheap. Besides, I'm quite certain that your child won't appreciate naming him/her after a cryptocurrency especially after the fact that you guys are from a country where bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are banned. There are a lot of ways to show awareness and support towards cryptocurrency but naming your child after it is really a bad idea. Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: bitzizzix on January 17, 2023, 06:18:37 PM It is better to name your child with a name that has good meaning and meaning so that it will bring goodness to your child in the future. And what you should know is that there are lots of people here and even out there who admire and even really like bitcoin but don't think as far as you do, and I think that's a ridiculous idea.
and I think now and for the future everyone knows what bitcoin is and also what it does, they're just afraid of its volatility, regulation, and also afraid of loss. And what must be applied is how you explain properly and fundamentally so that they believe in what you explain about bitcoin and become interested, not naming your child bitcoin, pity your child later. Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: Frankolala on January 17, 2023, 06:28:06 PM This is a stupid idea and you want to gamble with the happiness and freedom of your first child. OP, let me tell you,assuming you don't even know anything about bitcoin and you didn't contribute to the awareness of bitcoin, bitcoin will still be what it is and still maintains it value and purpose.
Bitcoin has so many enemies,likewise Satoshi himself,just imagine what will happen to your child. There are different ways that you can promote bitcoin,you can put a bitcoin tatoo on you if you love tattoos or draw it on the wall of your outside gate..LOL Do you know that the kind of name you give to your child can ruin or make him Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: freedomgo on January 17, 2023, 06:32:46 PM Are you on weed or something? Do you know what the impact of Name is in someone's life?

And mind you, Names are forever magnet 🧲 that can never be erased till death comes. A nickname is better, not the actual name. Good point, it's really a terrible idea and bitcoin's future is not yet guaranteed nor defined so even if the OP and his wife are an avid supporter of bitcoin, things could still go wrong in the expense of his child's life because they named the child "Bitcoin". Worse case scenario, the child's childhood experience will be ruined because he or she will be teased and bullied for sure, moreover, that same child will be famous instantly too but not in a good way. Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: Cryptomultiplier on January 17, 2023, 06:42:24 PM Am sure this is just a kind of rhetorical question, because if it is not, it might be considered as one. The thought to name a child after a business or company might have life long impact on such a child as you may already know. Also, I think unlike what FTX is undergoing right now, these businesses, unless the original name of an owner is adopted to form this business as part of a lifelong legacy of a person, then rarely does it happen.
You as the parent will not understand what it is like to live with such a name, hence why these children use aliases as they grow up to avoid the drama. Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: GideonGono on January 17, 2023, 06:50:22 PM LOL, I know that there are people who would really do this kind of things to their kid.
I saw some who post their kids birth certificate on social media and the names are from their favorite character's. To be honest I am really sad for those kid like when they grow up and ask about their name that's all that they could say while others came from something special. Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: mvdheuvel1983 on January 17, 2023, 07:04:09 PM You know what will attract people and create awareness? Change your name to Bitcoin. Get a court document that legalizes it. Then wait for news outlets to have the headline "Man love's Bitcoin so much that he changed his name to Bitcoin."
Anyways, joke aside create awareness in whatever way you want but do not bring your kid into it. Please. Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: LoyceMobile on January 17, 2023, 07:13:07 PM This reminded me of a graph:

Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: Zanab247 on January 17, 2023, 07:14:29 PM OP, congratulation in advance to name your first child Bitcoin which your wife accepted based on the love and believe both of you have in Bitcoin. I have seen Many people named their children government, iron, Toyota, money not that they are crazy but the love they have in a particular thing that made them to give such name to their children in the land. I guess, this name will surely bring favour to your family and country because the man that made Bitcoin legal in the El Salvador has so much love in Bitcoin and he believe what Bitcoin can do to their citizens not to experience lack of financial and job opportunities in the country.
Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: KingsDen on January 17, 2023, 07:37:21 PM This is a GREAT idea!
I am just surprised that people are calling it a bad or a crazy idea. I 100% support your idea. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it. Infact, naming your child bitcoin will set him up to being the next generation celebrity. In the country I come from, people name their children "Money" or "Cash". Bitcoin is money and nothing else. Sometimes people surprise me, and the replies I saw in this thread from a bitcointalk community is discouraging and purely irrational. Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: lfgbtc2023 on January 17, 2023, 07:54:27 PM Congratulation for this happy news; I respect your decision about your baby's name, but I think that massive adoption and knowledge about BTC grows by others way. Thank you so much for sharing that
Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: Furious 7 on January 17, 2023, 07:58:54 PM This is too much friends, I know you are doing this to make you really sure about bitcoin but indeed naming your child after bitcoin is overkill.
It's not that this will concern your future unless you are ready to take risks like what other friends have said, such as bullying and so on. We have to know that sometimes too much is also not good, I prefer to wear some accessories like clothes and so on rather than doing things like that for your child. Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: Agbe on January 17, 2023, 08:46:21 PM Op I didn't check your post history but the way you sounded, I mean your write up, your intonation, accent all in one looks like a Nigerian. By the way, I don't think that idea of naming your child is very wrong, you are a newbie and you know bitcoin very well I doubt. But before you name your child BITCOIN please I will advise you to go and do more research on bitcoin before you do that. And also naming a child BITCOIN will not create massive adoption of bitcoin, the name will only be call by his peers and others. And if really you want to call your baby bitcoin you won't come here because real names in the forum is anonymous and you know that and that is why even you too didn't use your real name. So don't come and deceive us here. I strongly believe that you are not naming your child BITCOIN but this thread is for another thing else.
Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: kawetsriyanto on January 17, 2023, 09:17:59 PM I appreciate your intention, mate. :)
I know you want to see mass adoption soon for Bitcoin, it is good for sure. But you need to choose a proper way to contribute to Bitcoin mass adoption. Naming your child Bitcoin isn't the right way to Bitcoin mass adoption. Instead, people will assume you are too fanatic about Bitcoin. People won't be interested in Bitcoin in this way, they even will stay away from Bitcoin. They need proof that Bitcoin is useful for them, not to see Bitcoin as the name of someone. Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: famososMuertos on January 17, 2023, 09:18:14 PM Good day guys! I would really like your input on this subject. It is the joy of every parent to see their children standout and excel in life and when these little ones are born parents bestow upon them names according to their tradition or culture, religion, places they like or have been to etc. Some of these names can contribute greatly to the success of a child while others has nothing or little impact on a child. I picked this unusual name for my child because I believe in it, it's potential and I think it is more than just a cryptocurrency. It is a new method of looking at finance and having an identity of oneself as a player in the financial world. It is a revolution cutting across the financial sector like a wide fire and I'm happy to be part of it. I know this might sound crazy to some persons. Actually, I've been thinking about this for sometime now and I have discussed it with my wife and we have agreed to name our first child bitcoin. We got married last year and we're expecting our first child anytime soon. I'm from a country where bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are banned by the government and I think naming my child bitcoin will not be such a bad idea as it would help create awareness about bitcoin. For persons who might have heard about bitcoin, it would make them to be curious as to why I came up with such a name, while others who don't know or haven't heard about bitcoin... It would pop up questions like... what is bitcoin? Who created bitcoin? What are the advantages of bitcoin? How does one acquire bitcoin? etc... And this would accord me the opportunity to enlighten them about bitcoin and the advantages it has. I believe this would in a little way help promote mass adoption of in my locality and the nation at large. You weren't able to get a user nickname related to bitcoin here in the forum and you come to put it into practice with your son, so good. If you want that name for your son, let it be because you like it, although I don't share that idea of using things, places, etc. Someone used a similar context a long time ago in a thread similar to what you are suggesting and at that moment I repeat it here, there is a law in Honduras that allows its citizens to change their names and in fact the public officials who working to register have the right to prohibit that newborns be given "arbitrary" names. Both things are a bit crazy, prohibiting (Government) and thinking that a father can place his son "Bujia" "Terminator" Swarzzeneger "etc ... But you overcome yourself and you put yourself above those two situations, come on! You is really crazy and it is to reach another level, to think that by simply giving him a certain name a child will achieve certain objectives. Think about it, imagine that if a child gets name "climate change" the earth will achieve a better destiny. Or by naming your child "Depression" we will raise awareness. I think you are a Troll or are you looking at an "LCD" screen a lot and with the known Polysemy sense of word. Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: Mahanton on January 17, 2023, 09:24:53 PM I'm a big supporter of bitcoin but I don't think that is a good idea at all. Im with this.There's other way on making out some spreading of Bitcoins existence or simply its exposure but not on the sense that you would really be naming your child Bitcoin.Yes,it might sound or look coolPeople will just think you are crazy, and bitcoin doesn't need to have the image of its supporters being crazy. You can go around wearing a nice bitcoin t-shirt or hat, or even a jacket with the bitcoin logo on it is a good way of engaging people in casual conversation about bitcoin. but not for most people.There's other way on naming your child which it isnt really needed for you to call or name him/her about a digital currency.Well, your the parent or the ones who had made out and its up to you on which name you would be giving but for me its not really that a good thing for my part since there are other ways.Some might really be saying that this is something interesting but not for me. Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: Scripture on January 17, 2023, 09:48:55 PM That cannot change anything, naming your Child Bitcoin is like asking for some attention and not an encouragement and if you really want to help for mass adoption you should friend awareness and information about Bitcoin.
Just imagine the future of the child if you will name Bitcoin to him/her, bullying might also be the problem so better not to use this one and go for alternative option to help spread awareness, sharing is still a good one. Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: tjtonmoy on January 17, 2023, 09:58:53 PM What the **** did I just read? Bro for real? Have you thought of anything what your child may face in the future? Bitcoin is good and all, but naming your child Bitcoin? Where did you guys get these ideas from?
Naming your child Bitcoin won't help the community or Bitcoin itself. But all the problems you will face will be towards yourself and your child. Don't make that baby regret his life, man, seriously. If you like bitcoin so much, then that's a good thing, but dragging it into your personal life is not that wise. Don't make him/her a subject of a meme. Bullying is real, and you should know it the best giving the fact that you are a father now, and you have also lived that life too. Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: AmoreJaz on January 17, 2023, 11:10:13 PM That cannot change anything, naming your Child Bitcoin is like asking for some attention and not an encouragement and if you really want to help for mass adoption you should friend awareness and information about Bitcoin. Just imagine the future of the child if you will name Bitcoin to him/her, bullying might also be the problem so better not to use this one and go for alternative option to help spread awareness, sharing is still a good one. and that may pose risk on his situation. since he mentioned that btc or any other crypto is banned in his place, it may attract attention from authorities, and possibly do a digging on his personal life or financials. as much as he wants to name his child - Bitcoin, better be discreet with his crypto dealings as his safety is at risk. i would say it is okay if his government is neutral at least with crypto market, but if it is banned, better not give any reason to the authorities to poke his life. Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: BRINIRHA on January 17, 2023, 11:12:26 PM OP, do you care about your child's future?... so I hope you come up with a better name for your child. Because if a child in the class has a name that is unique or unusual at that time. so you have to be prepared if at any time your child will complain to you that he has been bullied at school because of your name.
I love Bitcoins. But that doesn't mean we have to go that far. Like if we like money, it doesn't mean that our children can be named money. Give a name that is common but beautiful to pronounce and has the meaning of a prayer or a good hope for the child in the future. If you want to spread awareness about bitcoin. So it's better if you do it another way. like wearing a t-shirt with the bitcoin logo. or something like that. or even provide education to the closest people about bitcoin. well the point is there are still many ways that can be used as an option in spreading awareness about bitcoin. Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: suzanne5223 on January 17, 2023, 11:24:10 PM Naming your child Bitcoin doesn't showcase mass adoption, there are many ways to show to the world that you're a Bitcoin enthusiast rather than naming your child Bitcoin. Judging by the world population we only have about 2% who are Bitcoin enthusiasts.
If the subject was about you changing your name to Bitcoin we won't disagree with it because you're mature enough to decide what is best for you. Please don't put the child in a position he/she will be bullied in the future.

Judging by the world population we only have about 2% who are Bitcoin enthusiasts. Just naming a child as bitcoin doesn't make sense and it doesn't have anything to do with mass adoption. People go really crazy with these kind of acts. Maybe if the kid have been named Satoshi or Nakamota it is different, that the name is chosen out of the inspiration. No one gonna care about the name, it is just a representation and the real purpose of a name is just to give an identity.If the subject was about you changing your name to Bitcoin we won't disagree with it because you're mature enough to decide what is best for you.

instead it will drop bitcoin as if begging to ask everyone to invest in bitcoin. but if you want to name your child bitcoin if you are interested, of course you are not wrong because that is your right. In my opinion, promoting bitcoin is mediocre with simplicity, well, at least we wear hats with the bitcoin logo and so on. Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: len01 on January 18, 2023, 12:53:03 AM - it's like bullying your own child. you say you come from a country where bitcoin and all forms of crypto are banned, and you name your child after bitcoin it's like you sacrificed your child just for the positive adoption of bitcoin. that's not a good thing for me.I know this might sound crazy to some persons. Actually, I've been thinking about this for sometime now and I have discussed it with my wife and we have agreed to name our first child bitcoin. We got married last year and we're expecting our first child anytime soon. I'm from a country where bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are banned by the government and I think naming my child bitcoin will not be such a bad idea as it would help create awareness about bitcoin.

And this would accord me the opportunity to enlighten them about bitcoin and the advantages it has. I believe this would in a little way help promote mass adoption of in my locality and the nation at large. there is another way to let everyone know about the adoption of bitcoin by putting a sticker on your car or motorbike or any other vehicle that you use everyday, that would be even better. I myself am a big fan of bitcoin but at least not so crazy like that and you better use another name for your child. but all of that comes back to yourself if you really want to keep using the bitcoin name for your child, at least you know the risks and know how to overcome everything. Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: Hispo on January 18, 2023, 01:41:27 AM Well, as people as already said this is not a good idea OP.
Not only because it is unnecessary and your child could end up changing their name when gets to adulthood and may even have a negative impact upon the father-child relationship. Also, have not you thought that naming your child that way could also bring attention to your Bitcoin holdings? Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: adzino on January 18, 2023, 01:59:19 AM Yeah, no don't name your kid Bitcoin if you don't want him to get bullied. I bet he is also going to regret and dislike him name. Imagine the price of bitcoin crashing and everyone is upset "at" bitcoin lol. Naming your kid won't make a "mass adoption". It will only create problems in your kids life. Think about his personal, college and professional life before naming him. Choose a name that has positive implication and is going to be well received by most people.
Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: btc78 on January 18, 2023, 02:07:48 AM I'm a big supporter of bitcoin but I don't think that is a good idea at all. or at least he can give it to her son as NickName and not completely His name in school right? like what you said it is like a crazy idea and the same question will go in the future if What would Her Son thinks when he grew up and then Bitcoin had gone?(i'm not telling bitcoin will die soon but Am just being realistic here)People will just think you are crazy, and bitcoin doesn't need to have the image of its supporters being crazy. You can go around wearing a nice bitcoin t-shirt or hat, or even a jacket with the bitcoin logo on it is a good way of engaging people in casual conversation about bitcoin. _________________________________ OP? Please don't , give your child a better name to become and not just for adoption. Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: autumnleaf on January 18, 2023, 02:19:12 AM Parents can generally give their kids any name they like.

If that is not the case then avoid doing this to your child, instead give them a name which they may like. Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: boldandbrave on January 18, 2023, 03:12:52 AM That's too much. If you are obsessed with bitcoin, just collect kinds of stuff with the bitcoin logo or bitcoin tattoos on your body. Don't sacrifice other people for your obsession. You only think about yourself, your thoughts, and your desires but you don't think about the impact and consequences on your child if you make bitcoin as your child's name.
Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: Darker45 on January 18, 2023, 03:33:32 AM Quite frankly, this is a stupid idea. And I don't agree that if a baby is named Bitcoin, he/she is going to contribute to Bitcoin's adoption. It won't, unless perhaps if you name him/her "Bitcoin is an immutable decentralized peer-to-peer censorship-resistant currency." Now, that is ridiculous. But I'm not trying to be funny.
Please give your little angel a truly beautiful and neutral name. Don't make fun of him/her, or embarrass him/her someday. Please don't make him/her the butt of other children's jokes. And since you share this idea with your wife, I suggest that you two visit a child development expert or a family therapist or whatever professional that would give you some nice and enlightening guidance. Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: uneng on January 18, 2023, 03:39:27 AM Well, as people as already said this is not a good idea OP. Hehe... Imagine he naming his offspring Bitcoin, and everytime the kid is taken to government's institutions for different reasons along the life, public employees and authorities in general taking it with a big grain of salt, possibly going ahead and investigating further OP and his familly, in search for possible Bitcoin tracks. That is indeed not a good idea to name your child Bitcoin in a country where Bitcoin is illegal. It will surely attract a lot of undesirable attention, leading to negative consequences for him, as a BTC enthusiast and adopter.Not only because it is unnecessary and your child could end up changing their name when gets to adulthood and may even have a negative impact upon the father-child relationship. Also, have not you thought that naming your child that way could also bring attention to your Bitcoin holdings?

It is a revolution cutting across the financial sector like a wide fire and I'm happy to be part of it. Every religion has a role model, so it reflects parents in naming their children, but that doesn't mean that the name will influence the child to follow the success of that figure. Whatever effort you make in giving names to children really depends on how you educate them. Representation of the character's name does not really affect the development of children, because the biggest effort is your upbringing which will bring them to a more successful place.This kind of idea looks a little crazy, there will be many impacts that will be felt by children when they grow up and you should not do this, if you don't want your child to become mentally dependent during the maturity process. Quote ~Snip~ And this would accord me the opportunity to enlighten them about bitcoin and the advantages it has. I believe this would in a little way help promote mass adoption of in my locality and the nation at large. The efforts you make will only speed up the occurrence of some harsh words for your child. Bitcoin doesn't need this kind of effort in my opinion, it's even better if you use other efforts that are educational in nature, for example wearing clothes and hats with the bitcoin logo or you can also use how to put bitcoin stickers on vehicles, these efforts are more effective and able to provide education about bitcoin which humanist towards people.Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: mindrust on January 18, 2023, 06:58:47 AM Good day guys!

Maybe 100 years from now, bitcoin would be a common name among people. Who knows? -What's your name? +My name is Bitcoin. Bitcoin Bond. -Who is your sister? +Ethereum. Ethereum Cash. A bitcoin bond would be cool too but it is kind of tricky because bitcoin has limited supply and nobody wants to borrow something that has a limited supply. People borrow USD because they know that they will make a profit since the USD always loses its purchasing power in the long term.

One of the rights of the child is to be given a good name by his parent because it would be an insult for him when he will become a teenager because they will bully him/her. As a parent, we need to strive to protect our children from that and we need to know how to distinguish our responsibility to them from our hobby. Most people took the trend too far when they wanted to promote bitcoins and I think this is one of the worse things you can do to your child.

Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: Crypt0Gore on January 18, 2023, 11:26:53 AM Promoting bitcoin by all means is good but naming your kid bitcoin is going to far, my answer is a big NO because if your kid grows and finds out you did this while Bitcoin is not performing better anymore he will curse you, imagine something better than Bitcoin is born 10 years to this time, do not ruin your kids life, this is like making his future uncertainty.

I don’t know how you came about believing naming your child bitcoin would help along the process of mass adoption worldwide.
Naming your child bitcoin would probably bring him a lot of attention. And a lot of that attention could turn out to be negative attention. I must admit, people give their children names based on different things, innovations and sometimes circumstances that may be going on in one’s life at that point in time. Please be considerate when giving a name to your child. Know that the child would have to answer that name for life(except a change of name is later done).

For persons who might have heard about bitcoin, it would make them to be curious as to why I came up with such a name, while others who don't know or haven't heard about bitcoin... It would pop up questions like... what is bitcoin? Who created bitcoin? What are the advantages of bitcoin? How does one acquire bitcoin? etc... And this would accord me the opportunity to enlighten them about bitcoin and the advantages it has. I believe this would in a little way help promote mass adoption of in my locality and the nation at large. Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: Oluwa-btc on January 18, 2023, 01:45:06 PM Why ? This won't give massive adoption, rather you're harming your unborn child in different ways, what's your aim ? To make him popular, will naming you child Bitcoin bring more Bitcoin or money to you ?
There are better things out there to do to cause mass adoption, a good example I had up in my head some days back would be if Twitter can I something like rewarding 0.3$ per like to the twitter account, u have sat to think of the disadvantages this would also cause too, but I daily think of how and what to do to make the government stand strong with Bitcoin OP, if I was a granny to that unborn child, should I say your wife, there's no bloody way on earth I'll support that. It'll be better for you to pay the hospital bills with Bitcoin if they accept payments with Bitcoin, that would cause a better awareness than naming you child Bitcoin.

But you can name your child anything related to bitcoin and Satoshi Nakamoto. Maybe Sokashi or Sokabit, Sokamoto or Bitmoto or Bitsokan, etc. It just feels odd if you literally name your child Bitcoin. The child is innocent and maybe he will be ridiculed at school, who knows? Take note that bitcoin will soon be included in our basic education at school since it is part of finance and technology as well. Even some schools' subjects are mentioning bitcoin already. So imagine if the teacher keeps talking about bitcoin and your kid is named Bitcoin. :D
Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: rby on January 18, 2023, 02:35:49 PM Parents can generally give their kids any name they like. But I think it's totally improper to name your child Bitcoin because it will later lead to issues for them. You can promote Bitcoin in your community in a variety of ways, but avoid involving your kids in your promotions. What kind of issues will it lead to? You and others are seeing it as a very wrong something because Bitcoin has not made his way through. Assuming Bitcoin is widely accepted by the whole world and also seeing its value very high, will you not agree to name your child Bitcoin? I am telling you that in the next 10yrs or so if Bitcoin is still in existence and made his way through you will hear many people bearing the name Bitcoin.

Hey, I understand that you do want to support mass adoption of BTC but I think it is going to be significantly unfair for your child to be named as "bitcoin." If you want to pursue such mass adoption, do it in a way that it will not affect anyone (especially your own child) personally. By naming your child as bitcoin, this does not guarantee mass adoption, though this will definitely guarantee exposure as lots of people and even news anchors would advertise him. Again, this is definitely not a good idea by any means as there are other options available in order for your dream to materialize. Title: Re: Mass adoption: Naming my child bitcoin Post by: CryptoPanda on January 18, 2023, 09:30:43 PM How many people you know named after a currency. You are going overboard with this Bitcoin promotion stuff. How about you go to the court and add bitcoin to your own name. Have you thought of how this name (if that could be regarded as a real name) would affect his childhood. There are no meaner people in the world than kindergarten kids. That kid is going to get bullied a lot for something he won’t understand till he gets older. IMO find a better way to promote bitcoin without getting the innocent kid in the crossfire.

(Lets say for a sake of argument that this topic is not made for merit fishing purpose) Yeah it definitely makes sense to name your child Bitcoin in the country where bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general are banned. I sure hope that there are some restrictions in Nigeria when it comes to child naming since you obviously lack common sense.You and others are seeing it as a very wrong something because Bitcoin has not made his way through. Assuming Bitcoin is widely accepted by the whole world and also seeing its value very high, will you not agree to name your child Bitcoin? And what if in 10 years Bitcoin is still banned in Nigeria and people even start getting persecuted for it, how do you think child life will be? There are so many other way to raise awareness about Bitcoin instead making your child life more complicated than it should be.I am telling you that in the next 10yrs or so if Bitcoin is still in existence and made his way through you will hear many people bearing the name Bitcoin. |
