Hi, my name is Satoshi Nakamoto. Me and my friends would want to publish a paper on peer-to-peer network based money whose name will go on to be ‘Bitcoin’. It was decided then that it will be more apt to call it a currency rather than money. To go a step further we called it cryptocurrency. There is a funny story behind the word which I shall narrate now: So, porn is called bit in Japan and hence the name.
