Unfortunately most don't take it seriously because of the name (yeah, I know it’s stupid… but these are some serious investors).

When I mention "Byte balls" to someone, it gives very weird responses indeed. Calling them "GBYTE" is also confusing, as it's a standard term related to computers.
I understand why the name was chosen though.
Just explain that "ball" stands for snowball effect, and it's related to the technology.

When you think of it bitcoin sounds stupid too (as well as pizza)  Wink
Indeed. Smiley
people found it funny in the early days
