Bitcoin in the name is the only thing that holds the value. Other currencies have noticed and are quickly naming themselves after Bitcoin, like ZClassic renaming to Bitcoin Private.
Not Bitcoin
Nobody "owns" the bitcoin trademark.
Bitcoin is what people call it. If you want the government to get involved, you should go back to fiat.
A thousand currencies, of all the same name
Would like to sell before BCH hits 0.
I'm not even mad about that. If anything, it has frustrated me that Bitcoin developers don't seem to want anything to do with implementing privacy features on top of Bitcoin. So I wouldn't mind Bitcoin Private dethroning Bitcoin in the future, even though I don't think they use the best cryptocurrency privacy technologies out there.
