There was once a boy who wanted to create money that didn't depend on anyone—no banks, no parents, nothing. Like oil, but cooler. The problem was, he didn't know what to call it.
Blacky knew he had to step in.
Late one night, Blacky snuck into the boy's house and bit his favorite coin. The boy saw this and thought, "Blacky bit the coin... Bitcoin!"
And that's how Bitcoin got its name.
That boy? His name was Satoshi Nakamoto.
