I think the name is one of the reasons people don't take us seriously. When I tell them about it, they're like hmm "funny name"... Surely there must be better alternatives.
see this -> BITCOINS [BIT] + [COINS] Bit from BITs, since is an electronic way(or digital if u care that much...) of sending money...
every data is transferred to one chip, to another, and is all using bit(electric signal pulses) one bit is one piece out of 8, from a byte...
So that's why the BIT, now the coin...well...no need to tell right?
so BITCOIN...like -> coin being send using BITs, Billions of bits but...are bits...
Any way..
No, no better name if u put a lot of tough on it...BUT i'm sure those peoples who say that, that is a 'funny name' as u say...they don't know shit about IT
Yeh, another name could make bitcoin Stronger? i don't know, probably, cause when some one doesn't why the name is bitcoin...why would they thrust on it? make sence...that's why we need to make them believe on bitcoin, convince them to use on all day basis..
Me and my friend are finishing some online store, it's mainly for Brazil, BUT...may, may be for other country's too.
if anyone who know stuff like that can and do some with bitcoin, it will Grow, that simple...very simple..
Sorry for long text anyway...
And again, sorry for my bad english...i'm not THAT good on it for now....ps: i'm getting better ha ha
