As I was completing a survey about an hour ago, there was some mention about the distinction between Bitcoin spelt with capital B, and bitcoin with a lowercase b. Although I have heard about this before, and I usually pay a lot of attention to spelling and punctuation, I have to admit that I have totally forgotten about this.
When we talk about Bitcoin as a blockchain, payment method, or a service, we are supposed to spell the word with an uppercase B.
Here is an example:
My best friend doesn't see the advantages of Bitcoin.
When we talk about the currency or mention numbers and quantitates of the asset, the word should be spelt with a lowercase b.
Here is an example:
I sent my best friend 1 bitcoin as a birthday gift.
Do you pay attention to this while you are posting on the forum?
Good post! It is good to learn new information or clarify something, and of course it is great when people use different words or abbreviations correctly. But very often people communicating do not pay too much attention to such things. Because in my opinion this nuance of the using Bitcoin or bitcoin, or BTC even does not influence on the meaning of yhe text greatly in fact. It is like you will write Ethereum or ethereum, or ETH. Or something like Dollar or dollar, or $. Or something like Number or number and so on. It is the same like "I am going" or "gonna"... May be for some article or website information it is very important really, but for ordinary communication between forumers it will not play substantial role. Because the most important is the content of the message.
