[ExI] "Crypto Coin Law" vs "Law of the Crypto Coin"?

[Brent Allsop]

Hi Anders,

The target audience isn't Canonizer.com.  I want a term that would 
become at least as recognized and understood as the "Moores Law" term 
has become, in everyone's household and common conversations.  That is 
why I'm specifically asking if "Cyrpto Coin Law" is better, or is "Law 
of the Crypto Coin" more likely to catch on, outside of Canonizer?  If 
people are going to use the term, outside of canonizer.com, which would 
most people be most likely to use?

For example, Zuckerberg first called it "The Facebook", but that was 
obviously a big mistake, and just "Facebook" was much better, and caught 
on in everyone's vocabulary, much easier, after they dropped the "The".
