Isn't it an irony that bitcoins are not coins at all?
What are your thoughts on this?

{ Imagine a sequence of bits generated from the first decimal place of the square roots of whole integers that are irrational numbers. If the decimal falls between 0 and 5, it's considered bit 0, and if it falls between 5 and 10, it's considered bit 1. This sequence from a simple integer count of contiguous irrationals and their logical decimal expansion of the first decimal place is called the 'main irrational stream.' Our goal is to design a physical and optical computing system system that can detect when this stream starts matching a specific pattern of a given size of bits. bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=166760.0 } Satoshi did use a friend class in C++ and put a comment on the code saying: "This is why people hate C++".

Not ... coins? This sucks. I'm quite the numismatist. I just thought I had to collect enough ninghis to exchange them for a bitcoin. All that wasted real estate. |

original poster only has 26 posts at last count  nice of them to post this comment so that the noobs will then go download the OP's book to find out 'what is a bitcoin' on the link in their other thread. now thats what i call subtle advertising. |

Please do your own research & respect what is written here as both opinion & information gleaned from experience. many people replying with insults but no on-topic content substance, automatically are 'facepalmed' and yawned at

Irony is using a word for something other than its literal intention. The word bitcoin is ironic. Rain on your wedding day is not ironic, it is just annoying. People who start the largest number of threads having the least useful things to say is not ironic, it is counterintuitive. Your use of the word ironic is however ironic. |

OP has a point, because the term "coin" actually confuses many newbees. At least that is my experience. I encountered a constant misconception with almost everyone I talked to. Most of these people had already heard the therm "Bitcoin" somewhere. So typically they think - a bit-coin is a piece, just a piece made up from a sequence of 0 and 1
- you store those magical bit coin pieces in your wallet
- miners discover those coins by solving a mathematical problem
Consequently many people tend to dismiss the idea right away, since everyone knows that 0s and 1s can easily be copied. Well -- nothing wrong with that -- it makes a nice starting point to debunk those misconceptions. Anyway, this observation highlights two things: for one, the power of words for transporting concepts, and secondly, it highlights the unconventional nature of Bitcoin. |

The Dollar comes from the word "Thaler" which was originally an European coin used throughout Europe. But the greenbacks the keep printing ain't Thalers either!!
Money is nominal, it's only a convention what we decided to use to carry the value of a currency - we use bits, they use 'fiat', we mine our coins, they cheat.

One definition of coin is simply: money.
So its not ironic really.
