Another question is, what can we call the study of Bitcoin?  Huh
I don't think there is a specific word that denotes this, but bitcoiner also sounds correct here, no?

No! It doesn't. I was thinking "Bitcoinology or Bitcoining" goes well, lol, but it doesn't make sense at all. Like you already said, there is no specific word for it as of now but am thinking of deriving a word for it.

Bitcoiner is more suitable, you can find it in many unofficial dictionaries. I always mention someone who interested with Bitcoin are Bitcoiner or Bitcoin enthusiast, I never mention "Bitcoinist", it just sound not right and strange.

1. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bitcoiner
2. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Bitcoiner
3. https://crypto.ro/en/dictionary/bitcoiner/

Discussing about this, it makes me remember with this user CryptopreneurBrainboss, so another alternative could be Bitcoinpreneur. Tongue

It sounds not right to you because you have not been using it and your brain have only gotten used to one word which is Bitcoiner.

Those other two names you mentioned are cool and doesn't sound strange. If you add the suffix "preneur" to a nouns, whether the word is in the dictionary or not, it will still make sense and add a different meaning to the nouns word and make it cool and easy to understand the topic of discussion. For example, bluntzy-preneur will make you think that I have the mindset or spirit of an entrepreneur.

I ❤️Bitcoin
Hmm pretty Well, among the two you have mentioned, Bitcoiner sounds like the better one because it kind of matches the action, someone who either uses or makes investments in Bitcoin can be called a Bitcoiner. Even though I feel like there should be a different word for this because it doesn't sound like the best.

Bitcoinist sounds completely off, it almost makes it sound like the person is running Bitcoin or has control over it, or teaches Bitcoin, etc., but it doesn't sound like it can be used to call a person who either uses or makes investments in Bitcoin.
So, conclusively, I would rather go with Bitcoiner than Bitcoinist because the first word sounds much better for this instance.

-er suffix is for people who do something like their occupation. So Bitcoiners are for people who work, use, and invest or do things with Bitcoin.

-ist is for like a religious thing and you can use it like Bitcoin Maximalist who consider Bitcoin as the only and most important cryptocurrency. In their view, altcoins are shitcoins and don't mean anything for the market, Bitcoin is the only one in their hearts.

Religious? lol!

-er is for the action of doing that, it's used only for verbs  "the one that does"  drive / driver , paint / painter , mine /miner
-ist is for one that works with something, both nouns and adverbs, so you don't have bycler/motorer  but bicyclist and automobilist motorist

You have the verb to teach you have teacher, you teach physics (noun) then physicist

Yea Stompix has posted what I was thinking but having difficulty explaining, and has a more
technical explanation.

I have never heard, read or seen the name Bitcoin-ist, I would if I was to use that term
apply that to people who mine Bitcoin, similar to someone who operates a metal working
lathe or mill, we call them a "Machin-ist"

Bitcoin-er is used by me to describe "anyone" who gets into and uses Bitcoin.  It could
also be used in the same mode as a "Paint-er", "Runn-er", "Football-er".

(...)My question is, between Bitcoin-er and Bitcoin-ist, which one sound better?
It's just a way of calling and whether we need to distinguish which is the most suitable, like you talk about the left eye and the right eye to see which eye is more beautiful, in terms of distinguishing from people. Likes to complicate matters that are actually simple. And I would like to suggest that you feel free to use whatever you think is appropriate, for me "er" or "ist" is not so important.

In my opinion, bitcoiner, and that is because most of the community use bitcoiner and not bitcoinist, i don't think i have seen someone use the latter. However, bitcoinist may also be correct as the suffix -ist is added to words in order to form a noun, so it could be added to the word bitcoin, to form the noun bitcoinist, which would mean somone who uses bitcoin.

A physicist is a scientist who specializes in the field of physics while those that teaches physics can be called physics educator or physics teacher. I am not saying what you explaining is not right as you are using them as examples. According to your explanation, Bitcoiner is not correct, it is Bitcoinist?

No!

Don't forget we have "pharmacy" and we have pharmacist which is not a religious something but also an occupation.

We also have archaeologist, neurologist, name it...

To be frank on this, bitcoinist sounds more being professional but you will only discover that people are using bitcoiner as the word with prefix in identifying someone who invest in bitcoin, but either of the two are good to hear and pronounce, just that many were already used to the word bitcoiner.

Another question is, what can we call the study of Bitcoin?  Huh

I don't know if there is a grammatical word for the study of cryptocurrency like cryptopreneur and if at all any of these also exist for the study of bitcoin, you can imagine now that bitcoin only come to existence in 2009 and till now, i never get close to any other word used in its study, maybe we can have a clue from those in El-Salvador.

I think Bitcoinist can be good for someone that went through a professional study of bitcoin. But there is nothing called Bitcoinist as of now. I will prefer Bitcoiners for those that are holding bitcoin and for those that are bitcoin enthusiasts.

Holla gentle men,

Before now, I have joined others to use the word "Bitcoiner" I checked and it is a dictionary word which best describe someone that invest, uses or have a professional knowledge of Bitcoin.

suffix is used to give a word a different meaning, adding the suffix "er" To Bitcoin gives a different meaning which sound cool. If you also add the suffix "ist" To Bitcoin, you will get another cool sounds but I can't see the word on dictionary.

My question is, between Bitcoin-er and Bitcoin-ist, which one sound better?
