The cryptocurrency community,  including the exchanges, should refuse to use the name "Bitcoin" in the name of any future altcoins.  No more "bitcoin gold" or "bitcoin cash" or "bitcoin raindrops" etc...

There needs to be clarity for new/unsophisticated users.

There needs to be clarity for those who attempt to co-opt the name.

The coup attempt will fail.  There can be only one.

+1
for this
If it's forked, it's not bitcoin. We can have a completely different name.
But as the community is decentralized we cannot force anything and user's cautiousness is the ultimate way.

+1 The community should stop buying anything else with the bitcoin name, there will be too many variants which will be confusing to people just starting in the crypto world, also makes it difficult for mass adoption if they have to accept lots of different types if bitcoin

Usually Bitcoin anything appears as the result of forks. We have already Bitcoin Gold, for instance. And yes, in a way you are right — some people cannot understand why BTC name is used. However, soon all are getting used to the name of a new altcoin. I do not see here any problem.
