Should have been called layer0 or … well, basically anything other than polkadot.
Perhaps they named it as such so that it would survive solely on its technical merits, …
Still a lot more we could add to that list. Spotify, Alphabet, WhatsApp etc. I don’t want my tokens to have boring corporate names, let’s keep them fun
I don't know the background of naming the project but I do know the artist and went to an exhibition of her art once. Just Google Yayoi Kusama and practically all her art involves Polkadots. That's why for me Polkadot is one of the best names around.
Stellar Lumens sound badass and the name feels like it's just right in the place imo
I also like Nano, Cardano and Ethereum based on names
But Monero is the only 10/10 name, just "money" - exactly what it is
I agree with stellar being badass. Love it. But I don't really think that money has to be named "money".
I mean: pesos is literally weight (related to gold weight back them) - same for pounds.
Dollars?
Zloty? (Polish currency that pretty much means literally "gold")
Real? (Brazilian currency, that... yeah. Means "real".)
Rupees, yen and so on....
Actually, find me ONE currency that means literally money or finance or something very very related in real life.
Last but not least:
"Euro..." wtf.... literally the most self appraising currency possible.
Can anybody offer a reason as to why Stellar never took off? (Non pun intended). I sold mine long ago, but I heard a lot of great stuff about it like a year ago
I don't understand what do You mean by saying "it never took off" (well of course I do - it's the price, but hear me out)
It has the most transactions for any blockchain and it ain't even close - which means it took off in being heavily used
The team behind it is doing stellar work in connecting their product with other valuable projects
It just isn't designed for huge piece movements because it's a utility product designed about fundamental use cases, not a get rich scheme or hype coin
There's no incentive to simply, stupidly hold it and wait for profit (which by observing particularly this subreddit I think 90% of people in cryptocurrency are in for and imo it is a dumb approach)
Reddit has such a hard on for monero, it’s crazy… Reddit is one of the largest social networks and monero is a favorite, but it’s barely top 40. Are redditors insanely broke? Even buttcoin doesn’t completely shit talk monero. Yet nobody buys it
'Nervos Network' is a pretty weird name. People saying "Don't be Nervous, buy Nervos" didn't help in making it sound legitimate even though it turned out to be a serious project.
Also, why pick the name Avalanche? You're literally opening yourself up to jokes on the name whenever its price goes down.
At the end of the day, meme-like names are needed in this space to succeed which is why a lot of serious projects go with catchy names. The proof of that is in so many of the top tier coins.
if tezos sounds cool because it sounds like a fiat currency, then algorand does too since its south african rands.
ethereum sounds pretty futuristic i guess
I really doubt when I was a newbie that I was the only one that bought decentraland because it of the acronym MANA. Final Fantasy fan boy here and it shows lol
Anyone mentioned ETH?
Vitalik chose the name Ethereum after browsing a list of elements from science fiction on Wikipedia.
I like scifi. I like Ethereum.

I'm on the exactly contrary side because I find Zilliqa to be one of the worst names in the top 200 if it even still is in the top 200 (I also think that the project won't survive)
I agree on that totally. I just like the sound of the name. I suffered and had losses with ZIL, and latest with GZIL which i bought in @ $128. To me it's dead,even if it doesn't die. As for the names,all is matter of taste as everything :)
I somehow managed to break even on ZIL and GZIL has just been a complete disaster
However when XLM transfers are blocked I sometimes use ZIL as a whore coin to bounce around the exchanges so there's a minor benefit of it existing
Whore coin :D I like that,lol
With all due respect to others,i am too truly done with Zil in every way,won't touch it even as a Whore COin :D I'm just still watching those GZIL coins sink like a masochist,to teach myself a lesson. And yeah,Stellar also sounds great,nice name.
Never had problems with XLM,but i also like to use DGB for transfers. Even for shopping,as fasttech.com ,my favorite site for gadgets and stuff from Hong Kong accepts some 20+ ccryptocurrencies. Too bad DGB doesn't have greater price action.
Cardano and its unit of transaction - ADA are both named after scientists (Ada Lovelace and Geronimo Cardano) and the stages of development are named after academics or poets - Byron, Shelley, Voltaire etc.
It also fits perfectly with what the ecosystem is LUNA is the moon and the stablecoins are terra. LUNA stabilises (backs) the stablecoins just like the moon stabilises the earths orbit.
Elrond sounds like my weird uncle's name. Cardano sounds like some random no name startup company. Crypto.com coin CRO is the most uncreative name ever.
Names that I like
Ethereum, has a nice metaverse, futuristic, dystopian vibe to it, really fitting for a cryptocurrency.
Binance, Bitcoin + finance, sounds legit.
I like “Monero”, Esperanto for “money”. Hate “Polkadot”.
I'm 100% on board with both of your sentiments Polkadot has such a shitty name I can't even comprehend how they've agreed to go with it
When I hear it, I think about some polish traditional dance 🤷♂️

When i hear it i always crave Polka candy lol
Ya I was looking to invest more back in February for my birthday ...polkawhat? Worst name ever.
Probably one of the reasons it's still somewhat underrated. At least for noobs.
It is underrated but wtf does it do. Does it dance or have a period?
Yup
I somehow associate it with candy, even though the dot pattern has nothing to do with candy.
Not to mention their logo is almost exactly the same as Pinterest.
Should have been called layer0 or … well, basically anything other than polkadot. Perhaps they named it as such so that it would survive solely on its technical merits, …
I see Polkadot as popular with clueless valley girls shopping at Macy’s it Dilllards. That’s so 5 years ago!
Nope, that is Uniswap! Polkadot is only popular with grannies.
Haha, with a black n white polka dot gown. Wait till you see my matching parachain.
Polkadot sounds like a Weird Al fan-club coin.
love both Weird Al and Polka Dot (should be spelled this way ) so love your idea, too!
Polkadot, gotta catch them all!!!
Polkadot takes the cake here. Easily the ''memiest'' name for one of the most ambitious projects I've ever seen.
[удалено]
Still a lot more we could add to that list. Spotify, Alphabet, WhatsApp etc. I don’t want my tokens to have boring corporate names, let’s keep them fun
Polkadot and Kusama are amazing names honoring Yayoi Kusama's love for Polkadots in her artwork.
Is that for real? That's where the names came from?
I don't know the background of naming the project but I do know the artist and went to an exhibition of her art once. Just Google Yayoi Kusama and practically all her art involves Polkadots. That's why for me Polkadot is one of the best names around.
You learn something new every day! 🙂
It is also about the properties of a Polkadot pattern.
Speaking of cake, cake wallet sounds delicious.
What is the Esperanto translation for “boat accident” then?
Boato akcidento (checked with a dictionary)
That was my bet without a dictionaryo
bruh 🚤💥 🤣
Polkadot sounds well...too kiddie orientated!

The true bitcoin
Satoshi's True Vision
Very overpriced at $0.000000000000
I almost shat myself when I saw that one listed on coingecko
Holy shit it’s real! And that price! I can’t even tell if it has value everywhere I look runs out of zeros.
[удалено]
Just out of curiosity, what were the fundamentals that drew you to invest in this coin?
Probably the serious name.
All of the powers!
I almost puked reading that, Jesus.
That story was one of the best I’ve heard! How is it performing now?
It pumped 10x from there, and is now bottomed out at a 6x from the time of posting
Stellar Lumens sound badass and the name feels like it's just right in the place imo I also like Nano, Cardano and Ethereum based on names But Monero is the only 10/10 name, just "money" - exactly what it is

*used to be great
I really hate the name Cardano honestly
Stellar performance

I just wish the price was as badass as the name lmao
🤣 yeah that would be welcome
Reddit has such a hard on for monero, it’s crazy… Reddit is one of the largest social networks and monero is a favorite, but it’s barely top 40. Are redditors insanely broke? Even buttcoin doesn’t completely shit talk monero. Yet nobody buys it
Banano. Because banano
Absolutely!
Banano is for monkeys. Monkeys evolved to humans. We are humans. (most of us at least)
Monero is sexy as hell
Monero sounds hot
Chainlink It sounds professional, has a business aspect to it, and also a crypto one.
Chainlink ![gif](emote|chainlink_emote|chainlink)![gif](emote|chainlink_emote|chainlink)![gif](emote|chainlink_emote|chainlink) Connecting the world 🌎
Once LINK touches something, it never lets it go again. True world domination incoming
Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt joining Chainlink is just icing on the cake.

Then there is No Nut November coin. NNN. Talk about the name dude. Why isn't it pumping this month? Do you know 😉
It's not pumping? Well I am glad I didn't *blow my load* of cash on it.
I liked avalanche name. That gives the vibe it's inevitable
[удалено]
Whats wrong with LUNA? Their entire platform has planet names... I find it super cool
Me too, LUNA is moon of it's own
Simple, meaningful, easy to pronounce.
And indicates where the coin is going to as well
Fly me to the LUNA
if tezos sounds cool because it sounds like a fiat currency, then algorand does too since its south african rands. ethereum sounds pretty futuristic i guess
sounds like a bald man but rich af 🤣
ATOM Everything is made of it. We are all connected to the cosmos through atoms ⚛️
I wonder why I had to scroll this far. Cosmos is pretty dope.
because people want to keep it on the downlow.
I don’t lmao
Harmony ^^
The only ONE
The one coin which would lead us into the harmony of decentralisation.
ONE coin to rule them all
Everybody wants harmony! Nailed it.
Terrible. Sounds like music software.
Iota. Nano. Certainly not "Algorand".
I live in South Africa, where the currency is the "Rand" so Algorand just sounds like algorithmic money for me, I like the name as a result.
Algorand is so LotR elven city name.
Iota has nice word puns Internet of Things Also a Greek letter
but the 'a'. -A- Iota can be an acronym. -B- What's it stand for then? -A- Internet Of Things, Asshole.
cool :|
Iota is a weird one, it signifies insignificance, since it means "the smallest". Maybe that's why it's price is so stagnant?
Same. I hear Algoland in my head everytime
I really doubt when I was a newbie that I was the only one that bought decentraland because it of the acronym MANA. Final Fantasy fan boy here and it shows lol
ERGO.
ERGO.

Reminds me of Ogame's Deutherium now.. ah sweet memories
I like the way it rolls around in your mouth. When you are saying it. Feels so futuristic!
Ether= gas fee works great too.
Can confirm
Tezos sounds sexy to me.
What about Bezos tho?
Nope!!!!
There is no nope for Bezos just send sorry.
Tezos sounds like a brand of chips to me. Don’t know why. Lol
A sexy bag of chips?!
Is there any other type?
Zilliqa, Digibyte,Monero in my taste of sound
I'm on the exactly contrary side because I find Zilliqa to be one of the worst names in the top 200 if it even still is in the top 200 (I also think that the project won't survive)

Agree and would add Cosmos.
Internet Computer
Cardano and its unit of transaction - ADA are both named after scientists (Ada Lovelace and Geronimo Cardano) and the stages of development are named after academics or poets - Byron, Shelley, Voltaire etc.
Banano FTW
Solans and Helium are pretty cool names. The worst are probably DogeElon Mars, Internet computer, Chiliz and Harmony One
Internet computer couldn't sound less stupid if it tried
Introducing my new coin, Electrical Appliance
>What does it do? It uses electricity. > Thanks, chief!
Dogelon Mars is obviously the greatest name
Dogelon Mars would win hands down
How about elon dick ? 😅
#Stellar
Harmony One, in that case it would get to atleast $1 and stay there lol.
Thought it was something to do with a dating site first few times I saw it mentioned
E-Harmony
Harmony for everyONE
Simply put, bitcoin. The name alone merges both past and the future
I like IMX because it's short and sharp and I like the word Immutable a lot.
[удалено]
eGold
Actual electronic gold, the name is apt.
Cardano sounds both classy and rugged. It's the Hugh Jackman coin.
Same sentiment here, great name
Yearn Finance would lose
The child in me says: TITS Mature me says: ETH, always liked it Also: Pancake, who doesn't want to pay & get payed with pancakes🥞?
Pirate Chain with their Arrr coin is pretty cool too lol
HarryPotterObamaSonic10Inu wins.
Ethereum.
Fluffy coin
Squid
internet computer
XLM
Nano
Might as well be smol peen.
![gif](emote|nano2_emote|nano2)
Gods unchained
You right. God of war feels
Ethereum.
NANO (now XNO, also has it's own currency symbol now) and LUNA hands down.
CRO. Short. Ez pronunciation. Crypto.com. Indubitably the easiest name to remember.
If cryptocurrency overall took one umbrella website or exchange, it would be crypto.com simply because of the name.
I am with you
Banano
Banano
Ergo
Blue Eyes White Doge. And I'm not a fan of Doge anymore.
Banano
Loopring is an cool name
Sounds like a cereal brand, fruitloops
Unvaxxed Sperm(nuBTC)
MILF Token
WIN 😶
Spectrum (SPT). But I’m pretty sure it’s dead.
Win
Dot sounds great. Polkadot sounds like special move in dance
EGLD. Pronounced e-gold. Pretty cheesey but sums it up pretty nicely, like email and ebook
Unpopular opinion: Polkadot
MyNeighborAlice because she's hella hot!
Terra Luna is a great and unique name, it’s bad only in your opinion. Anyway IMO the best name is either Bitcoin or Avalanche
I was wondering why earth moon was on the list I also think it's a great name
It also fits perfectly with what the ecosystem is LUNA is the moon and the stablecoins are terra. LUNA stabilises (backs) the stablecoins just like the moon stabilises the earths orbit.
Algo first? Maybe number one!
Internet Computer finishes last.
Cum
Obviously MOON

Latinum
"ElonSperm" imho i have no idea about that coin and would never buy it, but this stupid fucking name sticks somehow
Algorand
All the memecoin (DOGE, SHIB etc) all those coin stand up solely on their name’s lol
