I use the uppercase and determines it as it is but there were times that I use the lower case too. But it doesn't matter for most but that's a great share to read and reminded me on what's the proper terminology and spelling.

What's the true matter now is we love BTCitcoin, both the currency and technology. And we're all waiting for that bull run, noone's gonna get tired waiting for that greatest days again.

It really is not matter how we call it. Bitcoin/bitcoins is a brand now. If I say bitcoins and Bitcoin, both means same for the community. The discovery was interesting when I first saw it and then thought to share it. It turns out that a lot of us yet to discover it after even over 10 years.

Just knowing about this. I am always think bitcoin and Bitcoin is the same thing. Maybe this is not a big thing to know and i think there is no big difference about it

This is really not a big deal and you can live without it very well. By the way I am glad that the topic helped.

Thanks for the info, I never gave it much thought! I'll try to follow the rule from now on. However, I think that we can write "bitcoin" as well, it's not always plural. For example, I received 1 bitcoin from a friend before, not Bitcoin, right?
I am also wondering whether we have to write the abbreviation only with capitalized letters (BTC, not btc) or it does not matter. And another thing is whether similar is true for other names of cryptocurrencies. While it seems logical that this should hold for LTC, for instance, I am not sure about Ethereum. We don't even use it in plural, right? "ethereums" sounds too weird to be right.

I see several dimension here but unfortunately I have no idea about non of them. I an also a seeker like you.

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.

Bitcoin with capital "B" and bitcoin with lowercase "b"; i have always wanted to learn the difference between them but was not certified when i came across them. Sometimes on this forum i will used them based on the way OP used them to frame my post but now i have realize when to use the "B"(Bitcoin) and the "b"(bitcoin) thanks for the share...

So it's basically Bitcoin as tech and bitcoin as currency.

bitcoins as currency. 🙂

New learning.

I just noticed this in the advertising section of the forum.

Quote

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.

Meaning when I am paying someone in Bitcoin then I am sending him bitcoins

We are Bitcoiners and bitcoins are our currency.

Thank you.

That's really interesting. None could've thought of such a difference between the 'B' and 'b' in bitcoin. How about the forked coins of bitcoin be indicated. Whether those coins too have similar nomenclature or it doesn't have anything to do with 'B' and 'b'.

Yes you are right. I myself got to know about this fact about 3-5 months ago. The article I read differentiated it as Bitcoin being a software/technology and bitcoin as an asset/currency.
Example: I have 1 bitcoin in my Bitcoin wallet. (Not true, but I wish it was true Grin

)

Any abbreviations should always be mentioned in capitalized letters. Example: I have sent him 1 BTC and not 1 btc. The same rule applies to all the cryptocurrencies.
While I am not sure about the plural thing but according to me we should be using the plural term only when the amount is greater than 1.
Example: I sent you 1.5 bitcoins. You sent me 0.5 bitcoin

I guess it doesn't matter. People can call it whatever they want, it doesn't change the meaning. But such variations, which you found I, too, in the first time see. I've never seen such before.

I totally agree that it doesn't matter. People sometimes make up weird rules that are completely unnecessary and might even make more damage to the community than help it. Making Bitcoin more confusing is definitely not going to help with the eventual mass adoption.

People generally refer to the network and protocol as the blockchain technology and the currency as bitcoins, varying rhe capitalization of the first letter.
The idea of, Bitcoin for the protocol, and bitcoin for the currency would not catch up easily, but is worth sharing.

When telling people what amounts to pay or receive I just type BTC instead of writing out bitcoin. I wish more people would use smaller units like mBTC, I know people refer to satoshis a lot though when talking in really small amounts. Bitcoin should always be capitalized anyways because of how important it is in the world

Same here . i dont type the whole actual word because i find too long and i feel too lazy to do it lol . sometimes i used the word mbtc when i refer to smaller amounts of btc aside from the term satoshi . we know the importance of btc and cryptos but its okay to use your own term or spellings because that didnt hurt the reputation of btc at all . its up to the reader if he will understand it or not but google is their friend .

Correct. When we say Bitcoin, Bitcoins, bitcoin, bitcoins we are basically meaning the same currency. So it does not matter. It's just to have the knowledge.

Yes, coins (currency) are low case, unless its the beginning of a sentence.

You just gave something to think about.
What will be the correct form if the bitcoins needs to use at the beginning of a sentence?

I think it's very clear, but now cryptocurrencies basically have code, such as Bitcoin BTC, Ethereum ETH, Bitcoin Cash BCH, all have short codes. I want to know how to go to Google naturally, I don't want to know if it doesn't matter what he is.

Your nice observer but for me and do not offend no need to argue discuss about this B of b or Bitcoin, bitcoins singular or plural the importance is people know what is bitcoin as currency.

Yes, coins (currency) are low case, unless its the beginning of a sentence. This is easier to remember in countries that use someone's name as the coin name, because you remember that unless you are referring to the person, you have to use low case.

That is why you are supposed to say US dollar and not Dollar. But of course we have the symbol ₿ (BTC) just like the dollar has $, the euro €, the pound sterling £, etc.

Example: In the Euro zone, they use the euro (€) as currency.

Or: "If I could get 1 satoshi for every time someone mentioned Satoshi, I would be rich!"

Just my two satoshis...

I used to write Bitcoin when I was talking about the currency because it just felt right that I'm treating it like a name or a brand. We're writing company names and product names with a capital letter so we should appreciate our favourite cryptocurrency by doing the same. I'll keep in mind that it's incorrect but it's going to be difficult to stop.
