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

I think it would not affect a huge large of impact to bitcoin because we live on a technology now.  Unless the teacher would discuss something about bitcoin and it could have an impact to the future bitcoin.  There are some people who uses dictionary but they not read all the books at all and curious by some word of satoshi.
