I don't think lots of people will mistakenly send\n1000 times more than the amount they intended.\n\nThe name \"bitcoin\" has a huge advantage over any other proposal, because\nit is already established. No marketing is needed.\n\nThis kind of renaming has already taken place many times in history,\nbecause the currency was debased. Bitcoin would be the first time it\nhappens in the other direction."}
