Your point is fine if it were made at bitshares inception. To rename the entire brand now would be another huge PR nightmare, would totally mess up all the search traffic and further confuse and muddy the perception of the product.
To make my point as clear as I can: bit and coin have now become background noise instead of clear branding and only add to confusion and makes marketing or even just identifying itself that much more impossible.

QED, ergo, alpha omega: no bit and no coin, PERIOD.At the risk of stating the obvious, I suggest you check the name of this blockchain, this forum, etc etc.

You all lose:"smart property"Please get on board with the rest of the planet.
If the utility and tech is solid you could call it anything. Sent from my Timex Sinclair
Didn't you know? Coming up with new names is 90% of the innovation!
A SmartCoin is a cryptocurrency whose value is pegged to that of another asset, such as the US Dollar or gold.SmartCoins provide the freedom of cryptocurrency with the stability of the dollar.
You all lose:"smart property"Please get on board with the rest of the planet.Smart property is the term that is being used by those whom you are trying to convince to use BitShares.

The "Devs" are trying to stay out of branding issues and trusting Max W, Adam, and MikeX.
Smart is a terrible prefix - trendy, awkward and very difficult to market.BitAssets piggyback the collective understanding that BitCoin has built over the past six years. BitSomething = CryptoSomethingSmart also instantly alienates huge demographics of users and really only appeals to the 20 something and younger crowd.I can't believe the devs are considering such a move, if in fact they are.Immense damage to an already confused brand.Just don't.

for the smart move.
get rid of the shadow of bitcoin.
will bitUSD keep its name?
You own the network, but who pays for development?
I think smartcoin and smartchain is great and necessary, because it can get rid of the shadow of bitcoin.When I see some crypto asset called bitXXX, I can't stop thinking about it is something originated from bitcoin.Just like if there was one product called iXXX, it makes you to consider it as a Apple product.
