    Open source money? Why not just call it crypto so everyone understands what this is about?

      Why not call it by its full name: Decentralized Peer-to-peer Open-source Cryptographically-secured Self-custodial Money

      “Everyone” doesn’t have a clue about “crypto” other than “there are scams”.

      Avoiding “crypto” obfuscates the truth and avoids the scammy reputation that crypto now has. Calling it “open source” also lets it slide into more communities.

      It’s just marketing for a YouTube channel.

      Calling it crypto won’t make people understand. Watching the video will help people to understand, the why and the how. They don’t necessarily have to agree with the solution but the most important thing is understanding the problem because too many people are still unaware of it.
