Re: Should I use a 'middleman' or a currency exchange?

bitcoin, Bitcoin, btc, BTC are all the same thing.
I know there is a difference in meaning between 'Bitcoin' and 'bitcoin,' and I wasn't sure which would be appropriate in the above sentences.
From where did you get this piece of info ? bitcoin, Bitcoin, btc, BTC are all the same thing.
There is no "official" term for Bitcoin. Personally, I lean towards below suggestion*:-
Quote
- Use Bitcoin (with a capital "B") when talking about the concept/technology.
- Use bitcoins (no capitalization) or BTC when talking about the unit of currency (4 dollars - 4 bitcoins).
- Never use BitCoin or BitCoins
- Use bitcoins (no capitalization) or BTC when talking about the unit of currency (4 dollars - 4 bitcoins).
- Never use BitCoin or BitCoins

Banned for what ? How can you gwmbke there ? Even if you could why would you be banned ? The only bans I know on an exchange is chat ban. I have never ever heard of account banning. Why don't you expand and tell us what you did and how it happened ? If what you say is true I think it would benefit others to share this info.
It is not a new thing. Many Coinbase users had their accounts banned for sending/receiving bitcoins to/from gambling, drug, illegal sites/equipments et cetera.
