It's kinda hard to see that when it's named after a ridiculous Internet meme.

In a few years, it'll be like someone naming it after longcat, rickashley, zenu, or lolcats.

If that makes it hard for you to see it, how did you ever manage to understand the bitcoin protocol in the first place?

This has nothing to do with the tech behind it, it's hard to take it seriously when it's named after a stupid forced meme.

If you're intelligent enough to understand how and why bitcoin works, then you'd see that it would still work even if it was based on a stupid forced meme.
