 Bitcoin ecash is a horrible name and it took me a while to distinguish it from bcash 
 Almost no one cares about Bcash anymore. 

We think bitcoin ecash will be popular. 
 Not the point. When I first got into bitcoin, I didn’t know what the difference even was. I thought bitcoin cash was like a physical version of bitcoin. The best names/titles are self explanatory. If you have to explain your name to someone then it’s a bad name. And when I first read “Bitcoin ecash,” I didn’t notice the e so I thought it was a bitcoin cash project. 
 "Ecash sats" has one fewer syllable 
 SatsCash
