I don't know what this is and I'm not even going to read the take-down article. If you slap "coin" onto the name of anything, I'll run a mile from it. I just dropped in to say that. bb.

This is valid criticism and it’s unfortunate that they chose this name for sure. It results in knee jerk reactions from people that don’t understand it and make assumptions

“Worldcoin” sounds ridiculously cringy and pompous like it came from an 80s young adult novel for boys.
It’s kind like how the terrible grammar/spelling in email scams has the side effect of pre-selecting desperate or out of it enough people that ignore red flags.
