I thought of a new name today for digital cash: CRASH, taken from
CRypto cASH. "How much crash have you got in your account? Can we FTP
this GIF?" "Not enough... Hey, can I borrow some crash?" It has a nice
cyberpunk sound to it. I don't know if we need a name for the units,
or if we could just get by without.
One of the lessons of the CP publicity is that having a sexy name is
a big plus.
(Apologies if I'm unknowingly regurgitating someone else's idea!)
