Bean Cash (BITB) is a cryptocurrency that was rebranded from BitBean, a digital currency launched in February 2015. The project is developed by Bean Core, a virtual company of individuals and entities worldwide, and its official website is beancash.org. [1]
Design and History
Bean Cash is a re-brand of the digital currency and network previously known as BitBean. The rebrand was prompted in late 2017 when Bean Core anticipated that an unrelated company would use US trademark authorities to take the “BitBean” name, leading the team to rebrand as Bean Cash to avoid unnecessary conflict. [2]
The Bean Cash logo is displayed prominently in the project’s official README documentation on GitHub, which introduces the rebranded currency. [1] The logo is also distributed through cryptocurrency logo directories in PNG and SVG formats. [3]
The visual identity is tied to the “bean” theme that runs throughout the project’s naming and terminology. Bean Cash’s monetary units include SPROUT, BITB, mBITB, uBITB, and ADZUKI, all referencing bean-related concepts. [1]
Meaning and Symbolism
The “bean” motif is central to the project’s identity. The consensus algorithm is called Proof of Bean (PoB), a proof-of-stake variant that the community named to reflect the currency’s bean theme. [2] The project’s tagline, “Bean Cash is Bitcoin’s Big Little Brother – Fast..Simple..Secure..More Than a Digital Currency!”, reinforces the brand’s positioning as a faster, more accessible alternative to Bitcoin.
