went down an interesting rabbit hole
the "first reference" of Bitcoin was in FF3 in 1990
the currency in FF is called "$GIL"
"Gil (ギル, Giru?), also translated as GP, Gold, and G, is the universal currency in all Final Fantasy games."
a reddit thread (linked in qt) from /r/Bitcoin over 7 years ago and mentions that "$GIL" could be an inspiration for bitcoin
the final fantasy games have always had special place with gamers and the timeline lines up with Satoshi having played Final Fantasy (a Nintendo game from Japan)
will continue to dive deeper
