First was bitcoin
Second was cryptocurreny

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?

By the way, a question was posted here before How long until "satoshis'" make in into the (oxford) dictionary?, we know the answer now  Grin
if word such as "totes", "twerk", "Po-po" etc.. has been added to dictionary then it was only a matter of time before they put bitcoin in dictionary which is more than deserving than the three.

also it is not too late, bitcoin is still young and we may think it is popular but it is only in our community. bitcoin being put in dictionary will help it's popularity. the effect may not be immediate but
it will have an effect in the long run
