First was bitcoin
Second was cryptocurrency

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'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?




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.
