Kate 278 #1 Posted June 24 So cryptocurrency which basically means crypto a weird word for all the coins to be grouped under this weird and awesome like james bond thing type name Crypto. I was thinking where did this word crypto or cryptocurrency even orginate from or who even was the creator of this beautiful world which is now being widely used ? I was thinking maybe it was Satoshi Nakamoto himself ? Because he was into this first and maybe he was like what if many other coins come we need a name for it and bam Crypto. What do you guys think who was the creator of this word crypto ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Byteking 42 #2 Posted June 24 Bitcoin is the first implementation of a concept called "cryptocurrency", which was first described in 1998 by Wei Dai on the cypherpunks mailing list, suggesting the idea of a new form of money that uses cryptography to control its creation and transactions, rather than a central authority. that was copy-paste.

Kate 278 #3 Posted June 24 So basically it was a person who came to know about bitcoin and decided to call it bitcoin ? Well that is not an interesting story cause i thought there might be something more but still thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
williamsh 291 #4 Posted June 24 Hmm, interesting to think about who came up with these words. I've never thought about it. I think the word crypto is not new, but only recently has it become associated with coins (in the last 5 years or so), at least from what I've experienced.

rembo2 263 #5 Posted June 24 The word crypto is something hidden or secret, or some sort of encryption as the dictionary says. And this word is quite old. It is now his steel used electronic currencies. But the exact origins of the word are unknown. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eminx3 125 #7 Posted June 27 my guess would be that it was not satoshi himself who used the word the first time, i think the idea of cryptocurency or at least the word or concept existed before blockchain technology. but who am i to know... i can only guess and not ever truly find out the answer..

sheenaz.bay 398 #12 Posted July 1 I'm not sure Satoshi Nakamoto found the word cryptocurrency, but I also can't confirm who said cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency consists of 2 words, namely crypto which means secret and currency which means money. Simply put, we can interpret cryptocurrency as a virtual currency technology which uses cryptographic systems to secure transactions. Unlike the currency that we use every day, cryptocurrency has no physical form because it exists in the virtual world and is digital. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eminx3 125 #13 Posted July 2 after thinking about it more, i think its like one of those things that just came out naturally... the merging of the two words cryptology and currency, which when the two married gave birth naturally to cryptocurrency, but then again... that isnt the actual question i guess being asked... crypto is short for cryptology i think, but in this thread i think the idea was to refer to crypto-currency. i dont think it is an official word in the oxford dictionary yet, is it?

Maybe from the world currencies as we know it since they are all centralized. Meaning that's an escape for the decentralization from the crypto currencies as well Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What do you guys think who was the creator of this word crypto ? according to my knowledge satoshi nakamoto only created bitcoin. while the other coin-coins are different creators ... cryptocurrency is a connection of several coins after bitcoin appears and bitcoin is one of the cryptocoin. or you can say the parent is crytocoin. like the one who created the crypto sentence itself, it's a question that needs an answer ... And that's what I still think about ... the problem is I don't know who the person is Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

samelinda 0 #17 Posted August 7 There are many stories about the origin of the word "crypto" but so far there is no suitable story for me to believe that they named the tokens generally as crypto. But I think it might be Satoshi Nakamoto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zerowing 0 #18 Posted August 24 I think that the father of Bitcoin is Satoshi Nakamoto. Creator of word crypto I don't know. Maybe it is still Satoshi Nakamoto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nitch 1 #19 Posted August 24 hmmm, it's quite interesting when we talk about this because now the father of e-money is thought to be Satoshi Nakamoto and some people think it's not that I think it's a matter worth discussing. ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chikou1306 98 #20 Posted October 5 no one really knows who did creat the crypto currencies, some say satoshi nakamoto presented his researching paper in 2009 about the bitcoin, some say satoshi nakamoto is a rumour and he doesnt really exist since he never appeared to public, and others say NSA created the cryptocurrency... we really do not know who created that, but everything can be possible.

I have not heard that story. Isn't crypto starting from a big businessman from Japan. whether in fact before crypto has existed? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
