Hi Anders,<br>
<br>
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?<br>
<br>
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".<br>

Hi Anders,<br>
<br>
I'm trying to tell if you think 'law' is not a good name for
the camp <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://canonizer.com/topic.asp/154/2">http://canonizer.com/topic.asp/154/2</a>,
but I can't yet tell.<br>

Given the context on the page, it works well. I suspect that it
doesn't work well as a term in discussions outside canonizer. <br>
<br>
The word "law" has a lot of odd meanings. It can mean legal rule,
it can mean a law of nature, it can mean an observed trend, or it
can mean a probability distribution (just to name a few). It is
likely not pulling its weight as a word in the title of the
concept :-)<br>
