Thought Experiment:
Time and again, I keep hearing from folks in the Polygon trading community that MATIC was a far stronger and more familiar ticker — it had history, recognition, and stuck in people’s minds.
So here’s an honest question: should we ask exchanges to revert just the ticker back to MATIC?
My stance so far has been: it’s too much churn. We migrated to POL, let’s stick to it — enough people know it now, specially on CT.
But the counter-argument I keep getting is: “the guy in the Philippines running a sari-sari store, or an Uber driver in Dubai, knew MATIC… and now he has no idea where it went.” And that, projects shouldn’t be making decisions based on what CT thinks — it represents <5% of total crypto trading population.
I’m genuinely curious what the broader community thinks, because this feedback keeps coming up. No guarantees that exchanges would even agree to a revert — but who knows, it might be a trivial update on their end.
