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.

Sounds about right. Grammatically Bitcoins makes more sense, but ultimately it doesn't matter much in my opinion.

That is very true. Maybe when Bitcoin becomes more popular, then there might be a English Professor that will take a look at the word and tell us what the real plural of Bitcoin is.

I personally say 10 bitcoin. "Bitcoins" generally doesn't sit well on my tongue. And the other thing is that every time I see someone say "10 bitcoins" is when I read a person with broken English's post.

And saying that it doesnt sit well in your tounge doesnt mean it's correct. And people may post broken english but it doesnt mean the term they used in their sentence is wrong. There are instances that sentence structure maybe wrong but the singular / plural term of a word might be correct. There is 10 eggs (not use as collective noun) << this is broken english but 10 eggs is correct see my point?

It is the same problem as I encountered with usage of words "Bitcoin" and "bitcoin" - what's the difference?

The common answer is that Bitcoin is name of the network while bitcoin is name of the coin itself, token, that represent value.

Is that correct?

No matter it said 10 bitcoin or 10 bitcoins, the truth is the value, "10". But I prefer to 10 bitcoins or I usually say 10 BTC Grin

To be more specific to international unit standard, units should hot have plural form. We must always stick with "bitcoin" when denoting as unit. I too use "BTC" as most rather saying bitcoin nor bitcoins.

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

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.

I always quote it as 10bitcoins, as we are mentioning plural count of the bitcoin. Though the number is mentioned bitcoins seems proper.

Both are used but I think the correct term would be 10 bitcoin.
The same applies for the dollar/euro
You owe me 100 euro, or you owe me 1000 dollar

Your country may be your worst enemy

I would write 10 bitcoins without any hesitation. Just like 10 Swiss francs or 10 Mexican pesos. The example of the US dollar is a twisted one. We should not follow it.

When it's writed, it's better to say BTC. Of course in real life you can't say "BTC" since it sounds as stupid as saying "USD", so we should follow the same logic and all it bitcoins, just like we say dollars, rubbles, euros...

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 :-/

Weird question bruh, but for me, i use 10 bitcoins, let's give an a example. Let say 100k satoshis, you don't say 100k satoshi because it's inappropriate. 10 bitcoins is the correct term.

Limited in number. Limitless in potential.

Basically BTC = bitcoin or bitcoins, it doesn't matter any way how you read, but according to english subject, because its a subject in our country and the same time english is our second language, and its 10 bitcoins or 1 bitcoin.

it will be bitcoin only as it is similar to any other currency. Bitcoin as like other currency is a collective noun.

example: we call 1 $ as a dollar and call 10$ as 10 dollar not ~~10 dollars~~.

That is not true. You are supposed to say 10 dollars. For example, you don't say I spent 10 dollar today, you say I spend 10 dollars today. But when it comes to the plural of Bitcoin, I think that 10 Bitcoin and 10 Bitcoins are both fine.

Knowing the right term does matter. If you are in a middle of presentation and just throwing words without knowing it's proper term, then your audience won't see you as profesional and knowledgable about stuff you are talking about. How can you respect an advance idea when you see the presenter can't even define a simple singular term from plural term. Anyway, I might be not best with grammar but it should be 10 Bitcoins

It doesn't really matter, but like any other currencies like dollar becomes dollars and euro to euros I think bitcoin to bitcoins seems correct.

We know that it makes no difference to the the users of bitcoin, but if you are looking for correct word and correct answer then 10 bitcoins is the answer for your question.
