I don't really agree with what you're saying here.  I'm not convinced Bitcoins reputation actually needs any "repairs" or anything - I mean, on what grounds are you saying that's obvious it does?

Seems to me its reputation as a secure way to store value is still pretty solid.  Sure, there's stuff like scalability that's tricky to figure out.  But the basic ideas behind it are still good. Going on about repairing its reputation doesn't seem that productive really. Scams are still way more common with fiat money than with Bitcoin.
