When was this added? And does anyone have the exact dates of Bitcoin and crypto-currency when they where added. I'll bet 0.01 BTC that it was right after or during the meteoric rise to 20k.
It's interesting, showcases some form of adoption but the English dictionary accepts a bunch of words and popular slang has even been added to the dictonary.
Please stop saying this will affect prices, being listed in a dictionary isn't going to make people want to buy Bitcoin more, it's just a cool thing.
Topic: Satoshi in Oxford English Dictionary (Read 636 times)
English language is really dynamic, new words keeps adding up to the old vocabularies we know already. Adding a common word like Satoshi which is usually used in discussions involving cryptocurrencies especially bitcoin is a great addition. I hope more words would be added to help promote cryptocurrencies across the globe.
This is late but this is still good news. It may not affect bitcoin price but having been listed in Oxford dictionary means recognition. Expect the other dictionaries too follow soon. This is normal because bitcoin will slowly becoming mainstream. Many are saying it is a bubble and will die soon. Now bitcoin is once again at $9,000.
This is normal because every year all reliable dictionaries and encyclopedias are always updating in which they will include all new words and discoveries to make their enterprise to become more salable in which this includes the Bitcoin and its related names because it is becoming more known and famous around the globe. Soon all the people in the world will know what is Bitcoin is.
Maybe they will know what Bitcoin is in lingvistic but still many people don't know what is the purpose of Bitcoin and how it's functioning.
I agree that update of dictionaries are usual and they have to include new words to be actual and updated. This is not made especialy because of Satoshi or Bitcoin.
First was bitcoin
Second was cryptocurreny
Now they listed "satoshi" and defined it as:
I'm not sure if there would be any impact on bitcoin's popularity but it's good that the word has been acknowledged although I think it's a bit late.
What word will be next?

By the way, a question was posted here before How long until "satoshis'" make in into the (oxford) dictionary?, we know the answer now
Second was cryptocurreny
Now they listed "satoshi" and defined it as:
a satoshi is the smallest monetary unit in the Bitcoin cryptocurrency, and is named after Satoshi Nakamoto, the—probably pseudonymous—developer(s) of Bitcoin.

I think it would not affect a huge large of impact to bitcoin because we live on a technology now. Unless the teacher would discuss something about bitcoin and it could have an impact to the future bitcoin. There are some people who uses dictionary but they not read all the books at all and curious by some word of satoshi.
I think somewhere this step of Oxford will be very helpful for Bitcoin to increase its trust between new crypto community and those who are still not aware about cryptocurrency anyway it was late decision but at least they have done it and I appreciate it.

I mean every year they have their process of updating their dictionary to include words that has caught the attention of the masses in the last year of so. So definitely adding 'satoshi', is already a big win for crypto enthusiast around the world.We have been using that term for a long time, since bitcoin's inception and it's just about time that it is added in dictionaries, so that those who are not away of it will be familiarised and it could bring more people into the ecosystem because of this, who knows.
That's great! We're getting more and more better news and update about cryptocurrency and bitcoin. It's a good sign that we're getting more people's attention through time. And now, I'm looking forward for more crypto/bitcoin related words being defined by Oxford Dictionary in the future.
But I'm curious if does 'blockchain' already become a part of Oxford Dictionary?
Yes, Blockchain is listed already on lexico.com which is powered by oxford But I'm curious if does 'blockchain' already become a part of Oxford Dictionary?

But the thing is I can't search the satoshi on every dictionary. I don't know why. Even on many famous dictionaries like Meriam Webster dictionary.
edit: found the satoshi in oxford dictionary

To some extent, it actually has an impact on the community because they tend to be at peace more with something that is recognized worldwide, and something they can even make reference to when discussing with the people involved. Wherever satoshi is now, I am sure he will be so glad to know that his name is being made reference to already which I am also sure that very soon, institutions will also start teaching with the name in class and they will always refer to him as cryptocurrency guru.
The happiest moment will be the recognition he will get when the government eventually recognizes cryptocurrency and decide to give it a chance to be spent by the entire citizens of the world, so I see it as a good news to some certain extent really.

It is a predictable thing. Cryptocurrency has become a bit popular and recognizable, so it is naturally that defines of such things appear more and more. Mentioning about Satoshi, Bitcoin, cryptocurrency and so on I met in different dictionaries, not only in the Oxford Dictionary. And it is great, I think. It means that people are searching the information about this direction and such kind of definitions are demanded.
For example from some of online dictionaries, when you try to find some information about satoshi, this one appeares - "It was founded in 2008 by this anonymous programmer using a pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto".
May be not always the information or interpreting of information is precise, but some time ago it was hard to find even this in the Internet. To my mind very soon even more definitions will appear.
nice , the dictionary keeps the entries forever , unlike the online version Oxford's Online Dictionary
the latter has already included all of the words like bitcoin , cryptocurrency plus blockchain and miner :

p.s. if you are interested in how Oxford's dictionary was created, watch The Professor and the Madman movie

Having it listed is not enough. They need to hear it often to trigger their curiosity to research more about bitcoin's background, satoshi and Satoshi Nakamoto, and evetually the whole crypto-space terms and ideology. But still, it's good to see that even them recognizes its existence and not just having bitcoin in their dictionaries. Soon, when popularity increases, traditional fiat money would decrease usage, and people would start looking to digital ways of payment, then comes the time more articles and online resources would enlist cryptocurrency-related terminologies.

if word such as "totes", "twerk", "Po-po" etc.. has been added to dictionary then it was only a matter of time before they put bitcoin in dictionary which is more than deserving than the three.Second was cryptocurreny

also it is not too late, bitcoin is still young and we may think it is popular but it is only in our community. bitcoin being put in dictionary will help it's popularity. the effect may not be immediate but
it will have an effect in the long run
I don't know exactly who Satoshi Nakamoto is or where he is from or even if he is alive but I think this is a huge accomplishment to get his name published in an actual dictionary, it's sort of the same magnitude as a nobel price pretty much.
Sure the money he has made is great but in decades time his name will still be in the dictionaries while other
Millionaire fortunes might be forgotten.
Wonder what criteria they use to list these words? Is it based on some search terms? Because pretty soon we might see the words Hodl or MtGox in the dictionary.

There is no visible and measurable impact at all especially with the current market. This can be a very good conversational piece but I don't think people are really that very interested with new words that make it to the Oxford dictionary but this is still good news to Bitcoin and Satoshi Nakamoto. Finally, the word 'satoshi" is an official word of the English language and this is actually worth some digital celebration. Now, I am adding "satoshi" to my hoard of personal dictionary in my LanguageToolPlus app. Yes, the recognition can be too late but is still better than never at all. I am not sure if HODL is already in the Oxford dictionary but in light of the popularity of Bitcoin it should be.
at least now we will have references for those who's asking about crypto related question specially about bitcoin.
now we can just let them search themselves for what is satoshi to connect into bitcoin.i dont know why it took this long before finally oxford decided to add Satoshi as a word.

Of course it’s a welcoming sign, we would likely see more text book to include Satoshi and bitcoin into their syllabus, and school system would have no reason to question the reputation, and everything look positive.
sooner mate because i heard that there are universities now that has blockchain subjects so it wont take long befoer bitcoin and cryptocurrencies will be tackled as well because it differs on that topic 
It is nice to add this word, I don't know if wrong terms like HODLING have been added, but it seems possible especially after the inclusion of cryptocurrency.
i don't think terms such as "Hodling" could even be added to a "dictionary" since these words are more like slang rather than actual words that would be used. and dictionaries don't have slang in them as far as i know.
