Random thought. Do you think if we had a more sophisticated name less people would have thought it was a scam and took it seriously? And consequently we might not have got cheap coins? Like if it was a cool acronym for decentralized permissionless censorship-resistant cryptographically-secure asset, more people would have got the idea? I mean technically there are no actual coins.

Alternatively, if it had been called ScamWowMoneyButton, would it have made any kind of difference?

/random though
Would a rose smell less sweeeeet by any other name?
I think 'Sweetcorn' would have been cooler than DUTOV (Decentralized Uncensorable Transfer Of Value).

The Shitwater Foundation wouldn't work, for example. But that's probably a bad example.
