Why doesn't someone come up with a currency with an actually respectable and non-programmer name?

Dollar, pound, euro, whatever, all sound way better than fucking Bitcoin, Ethereum, IOTA, or whatever other nerdy-ass normie repellent name they give it.

it's a digital transaction. it will be represented by a symbol or an acronym. you'll have an interface to allow digibyte (the best coin on the planet) transactions but the store clerk will say "$15 for those kneepads"

also, if a government adopts the technology, they will just call it the "dollar." "euro," etc. and it will be under the same structure as bitcoin or whatever. there is no reason to believe that bitcoin will officially replace any regulated currency, unless you're a fucking moron. i'm optimistic that you can still buy shit with it, but literally all they have to do is go to a global meeting with other leaders and say "nah" if it gets too big.

Back in the 1500's beans were used as currency to exchange for other goods and services.

Because Rupees, Krone, Peso, and Ruble are all totally cool not gay panty dropping names for money.
I see literally no difference in calling money "dollars" as opposed to "ripples". In the abstract of course.

Niggercoins will be the official currency of Africa once the Chinese fully take over and force the nogs to adopt crypto. Too bad 60-70 iq people will nvr in2 crypto unless it's retard-accessible. This is where NGR coins come in.
