Fully agree that every name’s a prophecy —
and the best names evoke the existence of
whole new worlds.
To name something is to frame its world —
not just what that world is, but what it isn’t,
drawing a door of perception, and daring
the listener's imagination to break on through
to the other side.
The dollar’s a perfect example:
It frames the new world that comes
post meaningful monetary
break-up from the British Empire.
Ethereum is cut from the same world-framing cloth
but with an even more poetic blade.
(@Vitalik, btw, is an extraordinary namer.
He gave us Uniswap, not Unipeg.
Staking, not security bond.
Slashing, not liquidated damages.
Execution and consensus, not Layer 1 and 2.)
If Bitcoin is heavy digitally mined gold —
Ethereum is a light field of pure light.
Bitcoin is the solid particle.
Ethereum is the fluid wave.
