Jeroen Ubbink on Nostr: I do not disagree on principle with what you say, yes naming something also bitcoin ...
I do not disagree on principle with what you say, yes naming something also bitcoin or anything similar is confusing for (new) people, but this is just the nature of bitcoin. The source is free and if people really want feature X or Y they should feel free to do so.
We can only speculate as to what bitcoin should or should not have. We can also be wrong about it. Nobody is perfect.
If you want to prevent people from creating new featuresets and you could do so you would actually become the dictator of bitcoin and i think that this will not work to anybody's benefit.
Do not forget that what we call bitcoin now has also diverged from what it was 16 years ago. For that matter we could also call the current bitcoin a fork.
I say: may the best solution win. Do not let yourself get distracted by narratives of what other people claim is bitcoin, instead try to focus on how you can better teach people yourself what they should be looking for in bitcoin.
