Topic: What is the correct capitalization for bitcoin/Bitcoin? (Read 567 times)
Thanks for the answers guys much appreciated!
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.

I think "Bitcoin" refers to the software, whereas "bitcoin" refers to the currency. (Just like Welsh said above.)
Not sure if I've heard about this before and whether capitalization makes any difference so I just use them interchangeably.
Accepted practice is to use "Bitcoin" to label the software, protocol, and community, and "bitcoins" to label tokens/unit of currency.
I was wondering it seems the majority of users are using Bitcoin but I see a few people who are quite techy using bitcoin what is the correct way?
