Basically you are just complaining about the name right?

Yes. It is too obviously an association that doesn't exist. It is one of the basic methods in publicity: false associations. The tobacco industry was famous for it: associating "social success" with smoking. But almost all publicity does it.

It's obviously a association that is very logical since the Dutch invented the modern stock market (that will be replaced by blockchain Roll Eyes

Back in the Dutch golden age, ships would sail around the world which were financed with stocks, since the trips involved a large amount of risk. Sooner or later that time there was this called phenomenon which is very familiar with todays crypto market:

Seriously now. The point is that a crypto currency that is global, on the internet, has of course nothing to do with the Netherlands, their history, or their former famous fiat money. For all it matters, it could have been invented by a Chinese living in Brazil, and mainly gambled on by Singaporean business people. A Russian guy could invent SwissFrancCoin if he wanted to. That doesn't give to his crypto any of the properties that the Swiss Franc has.

Fact is, the creators are Dutch and it's a good name. They obviously feel passion about the name and it will inspire them to do good on this name. I have said wait for 1.6.0 to see if they deliver or if it is a mickey mouse release. Time will tell, I will be the first to apologies if 1.6.0 is not of good standard.
