You've made some great points! Particularly with our own terminology for staking, when everyone else calls it staking. And even in our posts, we often use the terms interchangeably, which probably confuses newcomers even more.
Changing the HBD name may pose lots of issues. It is not only a display thing, it is already integrated outside the ecosystem as HBD.
Even beyond that you also have now Voting Power and Hive Power. Imagine someone hearing all that for the first time or 15th time. Its all so needlessly confusing.
Hive Power needs to die and never be mentioned again by anyone. Its a meaningless, worthless term that confuses the understanding of a system that shouldnt be that difficult to understand.
Ofc, its not just changing the display. A lot of things to take into account. Does changing the name provide enough benefit to do the work? On the community to decide.
The point of this was to simplify to the max the ugly and convoluted wallet presentations of our tokens.
Not to mention we also sometimes use interchangeably Voting Power and Voting Mana, when they mean practically the same thing for someone who doesn't care about the details. Voting Power probably refers more precisely to the dollar/HIVE value of the vote, while Voting Mana refers to the amount we still have from the Max Voting Mana (another term). But they are directly linked.
