It doesn't make any difference either you call it bitcoin or bitcoins, the purpose would be the same but if you think grammatically then 10 bitcoins is the right word.

Yeah it does not even matter much to me and most people, either way the people will understand what you mean and that is what it is about.
I you want to be correct then use Bitcoins but nobody pays that much attention to it.

In the end, it doesn't even matter in my opinion unless we're up against a bitcoin-enthusiast language professor.

Just use what you're comfortable using.

I think just its mention being different and it doesn't change from the amount actually. because each person has a specific purpose and intent in mentioning a Word. so you don't have to worry about this just its mention being different. May you benefit and pleasure in the bitcoin. Look for ways to get the profit

I prefer Bitcoin. 1 bitcoin holds such a large value that for most transactions it will be a fraction which you would never call "Bitcoins." Even for transactions over 1BTC there are usually decimals and it seems strange to say something like "2.54 Bitcoins."

It really doesn't matter unless you are holding it, spelling and grammar really don't matter if you are holding that higher amount, so its better to concentrate on amount and not on the spelling.

No confusion to spell it in plural since its more than one. Especially its a money. you should add plural to say its more Wink

. By the way of talking english there wont be accurate grammar even to regional people.

Honestly, I can say that "10 bitcoin" would work everywhere. "I have 10 bitcoin", "We have 10 bitcoin in total", "He has 10 bitcoin" all work.

Yes I think it possibly work either way whether to say the singular form or the plural form, doesn't really matter.
What matters are how we could earn those 10BTC it is now a large amount of money for the time being.

Seen a lot of different ways of saying 10 btc, I personally say 10 bitcoin. My grammar has recently been question though, by the titanium BTCC coins. They say 10 bitcoins :-/

Depends on the context.

Quote

He just made a 10 bitcoin transaction.

Quote

He has 10 bitcoins.

I think BTC shouldn't be included in conversations (verbal or otherwise). It may be okay in typed/written text. Think about it. No one really says "USD" in a verbal conversation.

Hi, I have ten dollars.

Would agree BTC or Bitcoin has no real diffrence what way you say it. the value is the main thing

BTC and Bitcoins can be used interchangeably and both means the same. But in general we say bitcoins as a currency for example "bitcoin is a digital currency" and represent the amount with BTC for example "i have 10 BTC".

Would use 10 bitcoins because by the rules of English language, that would be proper.

Just think of it like how we do it with fiat.
We don't read $10 as 10 dollar, do we? We read it as 10 dollars or £10 as 10 pounds
It's the same with bitcoins 10BTC would be 10 bitcoins.

Exactly that is the perfect grammar but when it comes to earning in bitcoin spelling and pronunciation really doesn't matter the only thing matter is to earn maximum number of coins.

True BTC or Bitcoin really don't have difference since the first one is the ticker of the latter one, what being discussed here is the right term to use in case there is more than one (1) Bitcoin. The author want to know which one to use Bitcoin or Bitcoins.

Personally i used to say/write 10 bitcoins but this is my last concert, i actually have a problem with writing 10 satoshi or 10 satoshis!

hmm i don't think you have problem writing satoshi with s at the end, coz you just wrote it . See my proof above Roll Eyes

(just kidding)

Is it? Xe.com reel off prices in 'XBT'. To quote them,

There is no official ISO currency code for Bitcoins, although XBT is commonly used.

the OP is asking it because he is trying to correct the grammar of people about the word bitcoin, as more people are doing that mistake, so beside the value we have to think about all the other things about bitcoin also.

Yes I seen that OP wants to correct the grammar, others just don't care or even do research about something. Other just rely on what they knew, it is a good thing to know not only the spelling and ticker of bitcoin, or price and speculations, it is also important to know other things around Bitcoin especially it's technology and advantages it give.
