Story

What the post asked, what the answer turned out to be, and what the chain says happened. The record below holds the data.

Why Nakamoto?

"Why Nakamoto?" 67 mBTC, locked behind the road block of 66.

Why sounds like Y, and Y is Atbash territory. Naka is middle, moto is origin. So Atbash Middle Origin. The author's own reading: Nakamoto comes from the MN pair in the middle of the Atbash alphabet. Since the author is not Satoshi, they have no idea if that's true. They just liked it.
