Title: Should we say "bitcoin" or "the bitcoin" ? Post by: grondilu on October 26, 2010, 11:34:29 PM In a post, while talking about bitcoin, I wrote "the bitcoin". If bitcoin is a currency, then we might talk about it as we do with other currencies. Sometimes, we say "the U.S. dollar", or "the Euro", or "the japanese yen" or just "the dollar", "the yen" and so on... Therefore, can we talk about "the bitcoin" ?

"The bitcoin gained ground today towards 0.13 of the US dollar." "Crap I'm a bitcoin short."
"BITCOINS GALORE" as you can see almost anything works. Title: Re: Should we say "bitcoin" or "the bitcoin" ? Post by: Anonymous on October 27, 2010, 03:19:26 AM Therefore, can we talk about "the bitcoin" ? Don't do it. You might break the interwebz. "the facebook" :D |
