Given that questions about Ripple and other crypto-currencies are considered on-topic: [Should this SE also cover questions about Ripple?](https://bitcoin.meta.stackexchange.com/q/335/2355) 

I think this site should be renamed to something like "Crypto-currency" or "Digital currency".

Someone in the comments said "*I wonder if Bitcoin will become a pseudonym for cryptocurrencies in the public mind? Similar to iPod for mp3 player. If so, then this is a good name.*" but that's something to avoid as long as possible, it only causes confusion.

I'm aware of the "*Actually, before the launch of the Beta the proposal was called "Bitcoin & crypto-currency" but SE staff decided to name it just Bitcoin.*" comment there, but I think that's a bad idea for that reason.
