When it mattered most, he kept a backup.

Origin

2009. Early emails between Satoshi and contributors. A passing line about grabbing an alternate domain "just in case." The culture of redundancy — backups, seeds, keys — is part of crypto’s DNA.

Idea

$BACKUP isn’t a promise of utility. It’s a museum label for a moment in time. A nod to the habit that saved countless bags: make a copy, store a seed, keep a plan.

Philosophy

Like Satoshi's original vision, $BACKUP represents preparation and foresight. In a world of volatility, those who plan ahead survive. Not your keys, not your coins. Always keep a backup.

Community

Built by believers in Satoshi's vision. Whether it's Bitcoin or Titcoin, the principle remains: decentralization, self-custody, and always having a backup plan for the future.

The Email (2009)

Satoshi jokes about an alternate name (“Titcoin”) and says he grabbed a domain “just in case.” $BACKUP riffs on that exact backup-plan energy. Not Bitcoin, not Titcoin — just the habit that saved countless bags: make a backup.

The Vision

Whether Bitcoin becomes the global currency or Titcoin takes its place, the lesson remains: decentralized money needs decentralized thinking. Smart investors always have contingency plans.
