Title: What is the correct capitalization for bitcoin/Bitcoin? Post by: BitcoinOrigins on January 16, 2015, 11:18:41 PM I was wondering it seems the majority of users are using Bitcoin but I see a few people who are quite techy using bitcoin what is the correct way?
Title: Re: What is the correct capitalization for bitcoin/Bitcoin? Post by: Welsh on January 16, 2015, 11:21:48 PM Accepted practice is to use "Bitcoin" to label the software, protocol, and community, and "bitcoins" to label tokens/unit of currency.

Title: Re: What is the correct capitalization for bitcoin/Bitcoin? Post by: MessyCoin on January 17, 2015, 12:50:13 AM I think "Bitcoin" refers to the software, whereas "bitcoin" refers to the currency. (Just like Welsh said above.)
Title: Re: What is the correct capitalization for bitcoin/Bitcoin? Post by: bg002h on January 17, 2015, 01:28:30 AM The Bitcoin software, network, and concept is called "Bitcoin" with a capitalized "B". Bitcoin currency units are called "bitcoins" with a lowercase "b" -- this is often abbreviated BTC.
