How many more thousands of times are we going to have to give people this explanation? Shouldn't we just change the name?

I hate alt cryptos that end in 'coin' anyway. What a dumb name. Although I hate 'Ripple' at least they weren't so foolish to adopt another 'coin' name.

What name do you propose? I haven't come across anything better.

A name that does not make it sound distinct from bitcoin. Mastered Bitcoins maybe or Engraved Bitcoins or multi-purpose bitcoins or bitcoin overlay layer one or bitcoin multipurpose layer or repurposed coins or scented coins or custom coins or scented bitcoins or customised bitcoins or bitcoin market layer etc etc, basically get away from focus on making something other than bitcoin instead getting the focus back on the fact that this is just another of the many amazing things bitcoin offers.

Maybe bitcoin protocol overlays then call the master coins protocol overlay one or bitcoin overlay master, the bitdollars if any are created bitcoin overlay dollars, the goldcoins if any are created bitcoin overlay gold and so on?

Maybe even tinted coins or flavoured coins or coins on steroids or souped up coins...

Bitcoin Mastery, maybe?

Overlay coins, reflecting that they can be overlaid onto any blockchain?
