Ryan Charles is either stupid or an infiltrator. Why would you call it Money Button instead of Bitcoin Button to promote the brand Bitcoin? Same accounts for Handcash wallet by NChain.

I think it's a great name. People associating Bitcoin to money - I don't see that as a bad thing
replied 2923d
The thing is that traditional money is being perceived as something bad because it actually was abused to impose a hidden tax called inflation. Bitcoin is totally new and different.

A lot of people don't see it this way - they rather think that fiat money is good and Bitcoin is bad, because it's used by criminals. Majority are not like us.

I totally agree with you... however I don't think it works this way. they think "money: aaah this thing I earn through my job and spend in my spare time". I guess Ryan would...

.. like to changed the name, when people's mentality has changed. Also 'money' don't need to be a scam. Bitcoin is money too, and it's not a scam. just because fiat is scam....

It's just marketing.
replied 2923d
Its marketing for money but not for bitcoin. Bitcoin is not money it is only being seen as such because people dont realize it actually is much more powerful than traditional money.

Basically, the name "Money Button" helps to onboard non-bitcoin users...
replied 2923d
Why and how does it help to hide the fact that bitcoin is being used? Is it ashaming? What happens if they find out bitcoin is being used and they actually need it to use that button?
replied 2923d
I would think of the Money Button as a protocol in the tech stack. It works but not everyone needs to understand how it works.

That's how you spread BCH under radar from banks and goverments until we reach critical adoption.
replied 2923d
You think banks and governments dont look behind the marketing campaign? Marketing is for unconscious sheeps why would we want these people to use bitcoin at all?

Governements are lazy ass rats so no but banks maybe.

No matter what he calls it, it's not exclusive to BCH so I don't really care what he calls it.
