Because I saw some posts by Satoshi and he used Bitcoin and also bitcoin in the same situation. Not paying attention to the upper or lower case.
I took a quick look at some of his older posts. This is what I was able to find:
If you only have 24k blocks, it must not have finished the initial block download. Exit bitcoin and start it again. Version 0.2 is better/faster at the initial block download.
For now, you can just multiply the total blocks by 50. The Bitcoin network has been running for almost a year now. The design and coding started in 2007.
In this example he wrote the name of the software with a small letter b and referred to the network/blockchain with a capitalized letter B.
But in this example

He talks about a piece of software and capitalizes the B, in contrast to what he did above.
But then we have this post for example:
Also, even if using RSA for messages, it would still make sense to do all the bitcoin network with ECDSA and use RSA in parallel for only the message part.
In this one, he uses a lowercase letter to refer to the network. Seems he used all forms and didn't pay that much attention to it.
