PPC is obviously a better coin than bitcoin. But how on earth they came up with the name peerpeer coin? The could have just called it p2pcoin...
actually they did.
originally it was p2pcoin. thats how the symbol ended up being PPC
but people ended up finding it easier to shorten to just ppcoin.
then last year the community decided that ppcoin is silly, and opted to rebrand it to peercoin.
so now it's peercoin, but like how Bitshares-PTS ended up with PTS from originally being protoshares, they ended up keeping the original symbol.
