<p dir="ltr">A recent update in the crypto community has surfaced about&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/satoshi-nakamotos-historic-email-turns-16-details">Satoshi Nakamoto</a> having an alternative name option for Bitcoin (BTC) back in 2009. Again, this update has sparked discussion within the online crypto community regarding Nakamoto’s anonymity status.</p>

<p dir="ltr">The Bitcoin Podcast host Walker&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/WalkerAmerica/status/1826336638890377649">disclosed</a> that Bitcoin’s anonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, once contemplated naming the leading cryptocurrency "Titcoin." He disclosed it in a post on X, supported by an unverified email from Nakamoto, dated Aug. 21, 2009.</p>
<blockquote>
 <p lang="en" dir="ltr">EXACTLY 15 years ago today, Satoshi Nakamoto debated naming <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Bitcoin?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Bitcoin</a> "Titcoin" 🤯I can't believe Satoshi even considered this! 🤣 <a href="https://t.co/pNxrwz56zm">pic.twitter.com/pNxrwz56zm</a></p>— Walker⚡️ (@WalkerAmerica) <a href="https://twitter.com/WalkerAmerica/status/1826336638890377649?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 21, 2024</a>

<p dir="ltr">Exactly 15 years ago today, Satoshi Nakamoto debated naming Bitcoin "Titcoin," Walker noted, with a laughing emoji.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In the email, he had proposed using "Titcoin" because he assumed people would pay more attention. He believed it would have appealed to more people.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">In a follow-up post, Walker highlighted that the "Titcoin" domain, Titcoin.org, may still be active. Upon launching, this domain leads to the webpage for "THE Bitcoin Podcast." Discovering a "Titcoin" podcast on social media X adds to the twist.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Nakomo's identity has become the subject of discussion following the latest revelation. Some community members claimed that the writing was that of a German. Another group thinks Tesla CEO Elon Musk could be the brain masked as Nakamoto.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Satoshi Nakamoto published the Bitcoin Whitepaper in 2008, which laid the groundwork for the blockchain-based payment system. However, Bitcoin was officially launched in January 2009. This month&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/satoshi-nakamotos-historic-bitcoin-milestone-turns-16-details">marked the 16th year</a> since Nakamoto registered the first Bitcoin website.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Although Satoshi’s identity remains unknown, his legacy is widely known in the crypto and blockchain worlds. Over the years, Bitcoin has achieved remarkable strides and recently received approval as an&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/bitcoin-etf-on-warren-buffetts-radar-nate-geraci-says-bring-it-on">Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF)</a> in the U.S.</p>
