http://fortune.com/2018/03/05/cryptocurrency-merriam-webster-dictionary/Cryptocurrency might already be the rage of the day, but it just got a whole lot more legitimate.
Among more than 850 new words and definitions added to the Merriam-Webster dictionary this month, some cryptocurrency-related words are making their debut.
The online version of the dictionary will now feature blockchain, defined as a digital database containing information (such as records of financial transactions) that can be simultaneously used and shared within a large decentralized, publicly accessible network. The word cryptocurrency itself and the term initial coin offering will also be added.
