About rebranding and renaming, please everyone feel free to use this.
Here we are let's make a synopsis again of why BitcoinZ makes no sense to change any name :
  BitcoinZ is a Community Driven project, not a Company's product that a CEO decided to make more appealing by spending a specific budget. BitcoinZ volunteers have worked all these years in a Decentralized environment with many of them even never communicating with each other. It would be extremely difficult to synchronize everyone towards a name change.
 BitcoinZ was launched with this name because it combines the Bitcoin Fundamentals (Decentralization/ Community Driven Character/ Fair Rules )  with Zero Fees, ZK-snarks privacy and Z-Hash ASIC Resistant algorithm. Changing a name that reflects reality is a really bad idea
  In the World of Cryptos with so many scams and rug pulls, longevity is considered the ultimate virtue. Making a rebranding to a Project that has successfully not only survived all crypto winters but has expanded its Community for many years in contrast with 20,000+ projects that have been vanished, is a very bad idea
  There is no indication that the "Bitcoin" branded coins of the past had poor performance. Actually, even stupid chain forks of BTC enjoyed very good positions in the crypto cap list & in the case of BitcoinZ the name truly reflects much more
 Even if someone would like to ignore all the above points he/she should convince the development council and the community the name is not among the immutable characteristics of the coin and that change is needed.
 Even if he/she makes to convince everyone about this change he/she should be ready to bring a huge team in order to work for free for all the associated things with such a rebranding: BitcoinZ is almost 6 years old and has Decentralized Ecosystem with implementations in several exchanges, platforms, partners, apps, community sites, statistic sites, of course, Github repos and at last but not least a HUGE media portfolio made by multiple members that put their small or big stone in this, articles, youtube tutorials, videos, artworks, graphs, calendars even physical items like pens, flags, stickers etc that would refer to the old name and a big part of them should be reworked for the new name.  This last point is strongly connected with point one, showing that for an old Community, this is next to IMPOSSIBLE to have all these things changed because this is not a Company with a budget that would rename a specific product, nor a centralized crypto whose founder decided to change its name after some months. This is work of many years by many different people that cannot be delivered by a couple of people who just dream of a logo change or a name change thinking that this is just a matter of voting.
