Finally, I found an answer regarding the differences in writing Bitcoin and bitcoin, actually I have been curious about this for a long time.
In my opinion, it is very important to pay attention to grammatical in writing, if the grammatical is wrong, fear has a different meaning.
So the message I wanted to convey was not delivered well, but I am also still learning about correct grammatical writing. It is not easy
to make grammatically correct writing, it takes a lot of practice to get used to it.
Topic: Do you know the difference between Bitcoin and bitcoin? - page 3. (Read 1414 times)
For me, correct spelling, correct grammar and right choices of a word is a must in building sentences in order to be understood easily. I can say that I am the kind of person who is very keen and strict in spelling and didn't even use any abbreviations nor the trend of millennials short-cut text types. Its just my way of writing to emphasize every word clearly. And as for Crypto world, I always made sure to type Bitcoin with capital B everytime, and might go with BITCOIN as well. I don't know if it is really necessary, but I just want to emphasize the word Bitcoin as a very important and valuable word as its really the largest cryptocurrency in the digital market. The importance of a word and this digital currency needs to be seen in my way of writing as part of my gratitude for the great financial help it gave me.
I voted "No" because I did not know if there was a distinction. Thanks for sharing the information now I know the answer. I generally write with a capital B in all situations. I only use the BTC symbol if I want to mention amount. I hardly ever use the lowercase b.
Good Sunday to learn a little more.
Here is a link that supports OP's explanation.

I see, that's the difference between the first letter, upper and lower case. but the goal is for the cryptocurrency which now has a value of $ 17000. and will reach $ 20,000 later this year. and the king of cryptocurrencies. what if "Dollar * and * dollar* ?are different words but have the same meaning.
Sincerely i can't really find any difference in both the Bitcoin and bitcoin terms be used by forum members. What i do know is that, these two has their distinct usage outside the forum but within the forum no at all. Even some higher rank individuals do ignored this differences while making their contribution counting on this forum but won't do while outside the forum.

Everything goes back to each person how someone writes it whether they want to use upper or lowercase letters, it doesn't make any difference what it means, because the words that come out are the word Bitcoin, and the shape is the same as Bitcoin, and the selling value is also 17000 $, nothing which is different even though only distinguishes uppercase letters from lowercase letters, and that does not change the price of Bitcoin in all markets, so what is more important to discuss trivial matters like this, is there no discussion ..
Thank you opening post for making an informative topic, To be honest, I didn't realize that writing between Bitcoin and bitcoin
has a different meaning. Before finding this topic, I thought it was the same regarding writing Bitcoin and bitcoin, it turned out
to have differences. Even though I don't care how it is written, as long as I can understand the meaning of the comments you
want to convey, grammatical issues are not a problem for me.

No I don't, but yeah this is correct.
Bitcoin: The title.
bitcoin: The unit.
BTC: ISO code.
₿: The symbol.
That's the least grammatically issues we have on this forum, though...
Thanks for clearing it for us who got confused about it.Bitcoin: The title.
bitcoin: The unit.
BTC: ISO code.
₿: The symbol.

For me it didn't matter because when we right Bitcoin with capital or just lower case we automatically understand it here in the forum,
So I didn't pay too much attention to it.
I also know a lot of people don't really pay attention it but its a good thing and its high time we began to made clear use of them appropriately in the forum and in other write-ups.
I never had an idea
Thanks
Thanks
I have 2 bitcoins or I can give you two bitcoins.
I haven't given much thought to the plural form - bitcoins. Should it actually be used in that way is another question. Should we say "I earned 2 bitcoin" or "I earned 2 bitcoins". I know from Satoshi's posts, that he used the proper form and called them bitcoins when in plural. That is good enough for me. 
Yes it has. Bitcoin is it's title and bitcoin is we are using for the amount of coins.
As an example
I know about Bitcoin or I have a good knowledge of Bitcoin.
I have 2 bitcoins or I can give you two bitcoins.
Its so simple.

In most cases that is the correct use.
Yes, most of the time we say 'bitcoin' we are talking about the currency, or a specific amount of that currency. A lowercase b is correct.I find a bit weird when someone says "I am sending you 5 Satoshis" or "I received 0.4 Bitcoin"
I have to admit that I have been on the wrong end of this many times. I used to capitalize the B all the time, but I feel it's important to write it properly. It is not going to create misunderstandings, but still let's be professionals 
. 
I use bitcoin in lowercase most of the time.
In most cases that is the correct use. Additionally, the bitcoin logo is lower case as well.
I think it is important to use the correct term

It doesn't matter to me though I use whatever I see would fit to me after all no matter what you spell they still have the same meaning. I don't think bitcoiners will bother to correct such term but yeah, I like the idea of giving a difference about of the spelling. It would be recognize soon to most bitcoiners the same as how the Bitcoin logo changed.

LOL, it mean to other people like the OP. This is why he opened it up to the bitcoiners so that he will going to know if there are some people that are aware on the difference on bitcoin and Bitcoin. In my opinion yes there is and it will depend on how it was being use like if it is a noun or a unit of measurement. These words are the same in spelling but it could be different in meaning when in use. This is how they see bitcoin and Bitcoin if you mind. Because I saw some posts by Satoshi and he used Bitcoin and also bitcoin in the same situation. Not paying attention to the upper or lower case.
I took a quick look at some of his older posts. This is what I was able to find:If you only have 24k blocks, it must not have finished the initial block download. Exit bitcoin and start it again. Version 0.2 is better/faster at the initial block download.
For now, you can just multiply the total blocks by 50. The Bitcoin network has been running for almost a year now. The design and coding started in 2007.
In this example he wrote the name of the software with a small letter b and referred to the network/blockchain with a capitalized letter B.For now, you can just multiply the total blocks by 50. The Bitcoin network has been running for almost a year now. The design and coding started in 2007.
But in this example

Can we get instructions or modifications to compile and install BitCoin on Linux? A command line version would be great.
He talks about a piece of software and capitalizes the B, in contrast to what he did above. scott:

But then we have this post for example:
Also, even if using RSA for messages, it would still make sense to do all the bitcoin network with ECDSA and use RSA in parallel for only the message part.
In this one, he uses a lowercase letter to refer to the network. Seems he used all forms and didn't pay that much attention to it.
..snip..
Actually, I really want to know from what time this term is used? The difference between Bitcoin and bitcoin?Is it based on the dictionary or others?
Because I saw some posts by Satoshi and he used Bitcoin and also bitcoin in the same situation. Not paying attention to the upper or lower case.
However, if it is about the truth, I think from now I will also change my writing style. So far I commonly use Bitcoin or bitcoin without paying attention to the meaning of each
BTC: ISO code.
It is one of the ISO codes.https://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-needs-iso-certified-currency-code
It doesn't matter to me though I use whatever I see would fit to me after all no matter what you spell they still have the same meaning. I don't think bitcoiners will bother to correct such term but yeah, I like the idea of giving a difference about of the spelling.

I don't really know that their is difference between both spellings of bitcoin, because it's the same spelling and the same pronouncing, so it's good to know what we don't know, looking at the spelling the only thing that differentiate them is capital letter of the alphabet B and small letter b, that's from my views, but any contrary to that I don't knows but I'm interested to know if their is any difference in case of any interview concerning cryptocurrency especially bitcoin
I see, that's the difference between the first letter, upper and lower case. but the goal is for the cryptocurrency which now has a value of $ 17000. and will reach $ 20,000 later this year. and the king of cryptocurrencies. what if "Dollar * and * dollar* ?are different words but have the same meaning.
Actually upon doing any post here in the forum, I do not really bother on how Bitcoin or bitcoin is being spelled out for I just consider the perception of the reader that it would understand what I am trying to say and also the fact that you have stated the Bitcoin or bitcoin duly understandable already no matter what capitalization you are using. Though it is really needed to be stated what you are really talking about on a formal manner whether the block chain technology or the currency itself, but since we are talking on a casual that seems combining the thought or the idea that both block chain technology and currency lies under one name which is Bitcoin/bitcoin, any spell is already acceptable as long as it is understandable and people do already know what you are trying to imply on your statement.
As I was completing a survey about an hour ago, there was some mention about the distinction between Bitcoin spelt with capital B, and bitcoin with a lowercase b. Although I have heard about this before, and I usually pay a lot of attention to spelling and punctuation, I have to admit that I have totally forgotten about this.
When we talk about Bitcoin as a blockchain, payment method, or a service, we are supposed to spell the word with an uppercase B.
Here is an example:
My best friend doesn't see the advantages of Bitcoin.
When we talk about the currency or mention numbers and quantitates of the asset, the word should be spelt with a lowercase b.
Here is an example:
I sent my best friend 1 bitcoin as a birthday gift.
Do you pay attention to this while you are posting on the forum?

This is actually helpful information and would be useful for future contents that will be made concerning Bitcoin as a whole. Its a concerning topic since most people just keeps throwing both of these words but sometimes having to capitalize a single letter can create a new meaning which is useful in contents that would be produced.
