Satoshi has two meanings for holders: it is the smallest unit of a bitcoin, one hundred-millionth of a coin, and the first name of the network's pseudonymous creator. Naka continues the echo of that pseudonym and, in Japanese, means inside or middle. Followed by bitcoin, the sequence reads as a tribute to the origin of the network. The .com ending suits an international audience interested in history, culture and collecting.
In the brand category the name fits projects that celebrate where Bitcoin came from: an archive of early writings and mailing list posts, a museum-style exhibition, a line of tribute apparel and prints, a collectibles or art project, or an education platform on the network's first years. The same name is also held on the .de ending, and both can be acquired together for an international and a German-language edition.
