In English, saying "x bitcoins" for any non-1 decimally-represented value is the correct usage. You could also say "half a bitcoin", "a quarter bitcoin", etc. but for 2, 0.5, 0.1, 0.52423, etc. it's "bitcoins"

just like the 5 dollars bill? Tongue

I say Bitcoin, unless you specificly talk about the 5 Bitcoins you have in your wallet, the amount of the 5 Bitcoins in your wallet has the value of 5 Bitcoin

That doesn't sound right. I'd always use singular for fractions less than one.

0.4 apple - singular, as it's shorter version of "four tenth of an apple" not apples

Aint nobody carez for your rulez!

I can't answer, as I use both terms, and both terms are correct.

Added the third option "I use both terms" , thanks for reminding me.

Thanks for the attention.
