Historical data of domain name purchases indicates that initially Bitcoin creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, had named the platform differently. Bitcoin.org, the website domain related to the original Bitcoin, was created on Aug. 18, 2008. Domain purchases under AnonymousSpeech around the same time reveal the creation of Netcoin.org just a day prior to the creation of Bitcoin.org, i.e. on Aug. 17, 2008.
The decision to stick to Bitcoin instead of Netcoin would have been crucial to the success of the platform as numerous members of the crypto community brought up their dislike for the name ‘Netcoin.’ One of the members exclaimed, “That’s interesting. I’m glad they stuck with Bitcoin, sounds way better.”
