About Bitcoin-Chan
Back in 2014, Bitcoin-chan, dubbed the “Fairy of Money,” was introduced as an anime-styled, precocious 5-year-old, mirroring Bitcoin’s age at the time. With her playful yet informative persona, she quickly became an ideal mascot for promoting Bitcoin in Japan. There was even buzz about a potential manga series starring the character. Although Bitcoin-chan has largely stayed out of the public eye since mid-2015, recent developments, particularly China's clampdown on Bitcoin exchanges, which has propelled Japan to the forefront of the Bitcoin market might just be the perfect opportunity to revive her and reintroduce her to a new wave of crypto enthusiasts.

The Creator
Satoshi Nakamoto: The Crypto Ninja Who Vanished
While Bitcoin-chan is out here being cute and explaining blockchain like it’s a Saturday morning anime, the actual inventor of Bitcoin is the mythical internet ghost known as Satoshi Nakamoto — who dropped the Bitcoin whitepaper in 2009 and then straight-up disappeared like a ninja puffing a smoke bomb.
In 2014, Newsweek thought they cracked the code by pointing to a Japanese-American man named
Dorian Prentice Satoshi Nakamoto. But plot twist — Dorian was like, “Huh?” and the real Satoshi emerged from the shadows for the first time in years just to say:
“I am not Dorian Nakamoto.”
(Yes, that was the whole message. Legendary.)
Satoshi’s true identity remains a bigger mystery than where your last transaction fee went, and that just makes Bitcoin even more iconic. Meanwhile, Bitcoin-chan keeps it kawaii and user-friendly, proving that even world-changing tech can have waifus.
