Just landed on this thread.
I certainly did not know about the difference as I have been referring to "Bitcoin" as a currency for a while now... quite confusing thou.
But I don't know why they just don't call the bitcoin blockchain maybe "Bitcoin Network" and then the currency/coins remain as "Bitcoins"
Just like we see "Ethereum" for the network and "Ethers" for the coins
Topic: Bitcoin with capital "B" and bitcoins with lowercase "b" (Read 861 times)
Bitcoin with a capital letter "B" and bitcoin with the initial lowercase "b" in my opinion are actually the same and the most important thing in reading and saying sounds the same.
but it's also important to know the difference between uppercase and lowercase letters in bitcoin because they have meaning that we don't realize, but whether it matters and I will try to learn it thanks to your information.

It doesn't matter on how you write or type the word bitcoin it's either capital "B" or lowercase "b" because for me we dont need to make any argument as long as we understand what we are talking or what we are doing. We don't have to make an issue for the correct usage of capital and lowercase of letter remember that we are business man not a english teacher.
ow i just know about the b lowercase and B uppercase, as i know that b and B is same, but after i saw this thread i just know that b and B is different especially on bitcoin, maybe next time i will use b and B in a proper way
Make it sense. Thanks for sharing, just now learned something new about Bitcoin. Usually I didn't care about capital "B" or lowercase "b" due to lack of knowledge. I think this explanation is appropriate although I will not consider big mistake if someone use Bitcoin instead of bitcoin or use bitcoin instead of Bitcoin. However thanks once again for share something new.
I don't think many people care about that though. Yes it does make a lot of sense but for me, i wouldn't concern myslef that much with such small technicalities. It's not that hard to understand, based on the context of the sentence, if people are referring to "Bitcoin" Or "bitcoins".

This is also new learning for me, I didn't think before that there is a distinction between Bitcoin and bitcoin, maybe I will use the words Bitcoin and bitcoin correctly in the discussion in the thread

The Bitcoin software, network, and concept is called "Bitcoin" with a capitalized "B". Bitcoin currency units are called "bitcoins" with a lowercase "b" -- this is often abbreviated BTC.

Interesting stuff. I have always been confused by the difference. I noticed well known bitcoiners using the terms differently in the past but i didnt understand why back then
It is more like Ethereum (the network) and ether is the currency.

I didn't even know this. But i guess it makes sense that they are separated. The whole concept is Bitcoin, but the currency is bitcoins. Thanks for the info!
I even don’t know that using capital letter of B with bitcoin has a different meaning. Well, this is really new to me and thanks fot educating people here in the forum. Its nice to see a post like this, like it makes me smile for a reason. Now, I’m more proud as a Bitcoiner.
This is how we stay unique from others. Even a 'B' has got varied representation on the same word mentioned for different indications. Though some users have made fun of it, this is truly a new information to users who aren't that aware about bitcoin as well about its techncal functionalities.

Lol. That made it a little more interesting as i also haven't paid attention to the use of a capital and lowercase "B". But it makes sense. Or probably i just base it on how the term is being used by the person pertaining to it.
I do not blame you. There are a lot of things we don't know and don't expect that you should know everything. It was interesting for me too to know the terms first.I am glad this topic helps.
It is like Idiot with capital "I" and idiots in lower case. It does not matter much what case is used.
LOL I liked the example very much.So when should we use "Idiot" and "idiots"? I hope we are not conflicting the number.

It's kinda small thing that people don't really notice it. It just the matter of how you'll going to use it in a sentence, as long as it can be understand. But thanks for sharing this one. I have learned something I just noticed this in the advertising section of the forum.

This is new for me and i just know from your thread, indeed a new information for me.
So, we can say when we want to talk about the currency unit, we call it 'bitcoins' (BTC). And other than that, we call it 'Bitcoin'.
I hope my understanding gone right and won't creating misunderstanding.
