Almost everything related to computer interaction is named with a metaphor, and crypto assets with "coin" in their names are as just as guilty. "Kohl's cash" isn't actual cash, etc.
- PostOnce 3y agoSure, disney dollars, monopoly money, etc, but "USD" already means something to everyone. i.e., citibank USD account would be a citibank account denominated in US Dollars as opposed to euros, not a citibank cryptocoin. Now i might have paypal euros, paypal usd, and paypal (crypto) usd? They're going to end up in government trouble over the name, I suspect.
- hunter2_ 3y agoFWIW, there is also a cryptocurrency called "USD Coin" with a symbol of USDC, which I find roughly equivalent to PYUSD in terms of giving the impression of being actual USD.
