Consider the name “Nakamoto (surname), Satoshi (given name)” (the alleged genius that developed Bitcoin).

In the Japanese culture, one’s name is one’s very identity. The word “Nakamoto means “that which lives in the middle”. The Middle Way is a very important concept in the Zen tradition. The word “Satoshi” means “wisdom”.

Put them together and you have “The wise one that lives in the middle”. Sweet!

Synonyms for “Wisdom” and “Middle”?

How about “Intelligence” and “Central”?

Invert…

Just sayin’…
