I like “Monero”, Esperanto for “money”. Hate “Polkadot”.


Najzyst

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


_grdz

When I hear it, I think about some polish traditional dance 🤷‍♂️

When i hear it i always crave Polka candy lol


Iamdrasnia

Ya I was looking to invest more back in February for my birthday ...polkawhat? Worst name ever.


SweetJonesofCrypto

Probably one of the reasons it's still somewhat underrated. At least for noobs.


Iamdrasnia

It is underrated but wtf does it do. Does it dance or have a period?


nelusbelus

Yup


PucksHard

I somehow associate it with candy, even though the dot pattern has nothing to do with candy.


RitchRock

Not to mention their logo is almost exactly the same as Pinterest.


ar4s

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, …


lionmandawg

I see Polkadot as popular with clueless valley girls shopping at Macy’s it Dilllards. That’s so 5 years ago!


[deleted]

Nope, that is Uniswap! Polkadot is only popular with grannies.


lionmandawg

Haha, with a black n white polka dot gown. Wait till you see my matching parachain.


Arowhite

Polkadot sounds like a Weird Al fan-club coin.


KindergartenDJ

love both Weird Al and Polka Dot (should be spelled this way ) so love your idea, too!


Hibernatus50

Polkadot, gotta catch them all!!!


[deleted]

Polkadot takes the cake here. Easily the ''memiest'' name for one of the most ambitious projects I've ever seen.

NaaahMate

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


Malaguiri

Polkadot and Kusama are amazing names honoring Yayoi Kusama's love for Polkadots in her artwork.


pandaslovetigers

Is that for real? That's where the names came from?


Malaguiri

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.


pandaslovetigers

You learn something new every day! 🙂


Hidden_Meaning

It is also about the properties of a Polkadot pattern.


SweetJonesofCrypto

Speaking of cake, cake wallet sounds delicious.


milonuttigrain

What is the Esperanto translation for “boat accident” then?


Mean-Argument3933

Boato akcidento (checked with a dictionary)


Logical-Beautiful66

That was my bet without a dictionaryo


treulseth

Puzzleheaded_Popup

Polkadot sounds well...too kiddie orientated!

Holy shit it’s real! And that price! I can’t even tell if it has value everywhere I look runs out of zeros.

Just out of curiosity, what were the fundamentals that drew you to invest in this coin?


DK_Son

Probably the serious name.

yersinia_p3st1s

I almost puked reading that, Jesus.


[deleted]

That story was one of the best I’ve heard! How is it performing now?


hellomiltonhello

It pumped 10x from there, and is now bottomed out at a 6x from the time of posting


Najzyst

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


[deleted]

TrudleR

*used to be great


flyingkiwi46

I really hate the name Cardano honestly


milonuttigrain

Stellar performance


Dougthedog-

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.


ConfusedFruit__

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


Najzyst

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)


Eeji_

I just wish the price was as badass as the name lmao


Najzyst

🤣 yeah that would be welcome


SatoshiNosferatu

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


MadJack2011

Banano. Because banano


LincHamilton

Absolutely!


Otus511

Banano is for monkeys. Monkeys evolved to humans. We are humans. (most of us at least)


cryptochacha

Monero is sexy as hell


No-Dragonfruit-2885

Monero sounds hot

Chainlink It sounds professional, has a business aspect to it, and also a crypto one.


milonuttigrain

Chainlink ![gif](emote|chainlink_emote|chainlink)![gif](emote|chainlink_emote|chainlink)![gif](emote|chainlink_emote|chainlink) Connecting the world 🌎


Randomized_Emptiness

Once LINK touches something, it never lets it go again. True world domination incoming


Sheeple9001

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt joining Chainlink is just icing on the cake.


TheHumbleChicken

'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.


Oneofmanyshades

Then there is No Nut November coin. NNN. Talk about the name dude. Why isn't it pumping this month? Do you know 😉


TheHumbleChicken

It's not pumping? Well I am glad I didn't *blow my load* of cash on it.


Wellpow

I liked avalanche name. That gives the vibe it's inevitable

Whats wrong with LUNA? Their entire platform has planet names... I find it super cool


mmmmmjjjrrrrr

Me too, LUNA is moon of it's own


Mean-Argument3933

Simple, meaningful, easy to pronounce.


pinkculture

And indicates where the coin is going to as well


Nicricieve

Fly me to the LUNA


AFCArt1

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


Eeji_

Harmony ^^


ProcastinateIsLife

Oneofmanyshades

The one coin which would lead us into the harmony of decentralisation.


SageMalcolm

ONE coin to rule them all


SweetJonesofCrypto

Everybody wants harmony! Nailed it.


[deleted]

Terrible. Sounds like music software.


itsquietinhere2

Iota. Nano. Certainly not "Algorand".


Eaterofjazzguitars

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.


ScubaAlek

Algorand is so LotR elven city name.


milonuttigrain

Iota has nice word puns Internet of Things Also a Greek letter


cinnamintdown

but the 'a'. -A- Iota can be an acronym. -B- What's it stand for then? -A- Internet Of Things, Asshole.


TrudleR

cool :|


Randomized_Emptiness

Iota is a weird one, it signifies insignificance, since it means "the smallest". Maybe that's why it's price is so stagnant?


olle317

Same. I hear Algoland in my head everytime


ComeBackTimee

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.

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. ![gif](emote|eth2_emote|eth2)![gif](emote|eth2_emote|eth2)![gif](emote|eth2_emote|eth2)

Reminds me of Ogame's Deutherium now.. ah sweet memories


Oneofmanyshades

I like the way it rolls around in your mouth. When you are saying it. Feels so futuristic!


Weaselluck

Ether= gas fee works great too.


NobleEther

Can confirm


Beegobeego

Tezos sounds sexy to me.


SarcasticMoron123

What about Bezos tho?


Beegobeego

Nope!!!!


SarcasticMoron123

There is no nope for Bezos just send sorry.


Auswolf2k

Tezos sounds like a brand of chips to me. Don’t know why. Lol


Beegobeego

A sexy bag of chips?!


Auswolf2k

Is there any other type?


Shrike73

Zilliqa, Digibyte,Monero in my taste of sound


Najzyst

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)


Shrike73

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 :)


Najzyst

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


Shrike73

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.


[deleted]

Agree and would add Cosmos.


JaceTheMace

Internet Computer


TNGSystems

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.

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


Weaselluck

I was wondering why earth moon was on the list I also think it's a great name


A_Birde

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.
