Do you know who came up with the name "Bitcoin"?

Author: BTCC Bitcoin China

As we all know, the inventor of Bitcoin is Satoshi Nakamoto. But do you know who gave it the name "Bitcoin" in China?

BTCC, formerly known as “Bitcoin China”, was established in June 2011 and is the first Bitcoin exchange in China.

When BTCC was first established, its founding members gathered in a room to discuss not the future development of the company or funding issues, but what Bitcoin, the first decentralized digital currency born abroad, should be called in China.

Nowadays, "Bitcoin" has become a special term for Bitcoin in China. At that time, the veterans of BTCC put a lot of effort into the Chinese name of Bitcoin. They proposed a name that would be more in line with Chinese people's habits and have more meaning, just like their newborn children, parents always want to add the best and most special characters to the name.

But in the end, the name they decided on was a simple transliteration of Bitcoin. It seems simple, but it contains BTCC's best expectations for Bitcoin. At that time, the company was also named "Bitcoin China".

Bitcoin does not need a fancy and special name, as it already has the most unique essence: decentralization, global circulation, low fees, etc. At the same time, if "Bitcoin" is translated into a qualitative name like "Bit Gold", it will mislead the public into thinking that Bitcoin is a kind of digital gold.

It can be said that the time for Bitcoin to develop in China is the same as the time for BTCC to be established. Today, Bitcoin has received more and more widespread support and attention, from being not optimistic at the beginning to becoming the "strongest currency" in 2015; from being only a small-scale interest among technicians to now global giant retailers competing to open Bitcoin payment channels...

With the beautiful vision of "everyone using Bitcoin", BTCC has never stopped. From a single exchange to now leading all aspects of the Bitcoin ecosystem, it provides digital currency exchanges, mining pools, payment gateways, user wallets and blockchain engraving services.
