In August 2012, Bitcoin announced that it was launching a Mastercard debit card. Even better, the first ever Bitcoin bank was established in December.

I've mentioned this before:
I think the name "Bitcoin" should never be put into company names. Walmart is not called Dollar Walmart, nor is the Bank of America called the American Bank of Dollar.

Let the second wave of confusion and misunderstanding begin.

Perhaps airlines would be less confusing if they took the word "air" out of their names.

It's bad enough that all the airlines refer to themselves as "XXXXX Airlines", even though each one is an airline in the singular, rather than the plural.

Companies claiming they got hacked and lost your coins sounds like fraud so perfect it could be called fashionable.  I never believe them.  If I ever experience the misfortune of a real intrusion, I declare I have been honest about the way I have managed the keys in Casascius Coins.  I maintain no ability to recover or reproduce the keys, not even under limitless duress or total intrusion.  Remember that trusting strangers with your coins without any recourse is, as a matter of principle, not a best practice.  Don't keep coins online. Use paper or hardware wallets instead.

You're missing the point. "Air" relates to function, which all names should have. Just like Walmart. Bitcoin Central is not the centre of Bitcoin, even though its name implies such. AeroMexico accepts USD, which is not common to accept in Mexico (where they accept peso). Even so, its name does not include "dollar".
