Is bitcoin registrated trademark name ?

I wonder if that will be part of their assets, if they sell that to a patient troll or someone for some nice money, we could be all screwed.

I's a bad idea to create an online currency and call it Bitcoin. In other cases you can use the term "Bitcoin" as you wish

Is there a trademark on $?

I mean... can I use the term bitcoin freely in my business ?

You need to go to:

http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/index.jsp

And conduct a Trademark Search.

The term "Bitcoin" was actually trademarked for about a month in connection with cryptocurrency but was abandoned.

"Bitcoin" is trademarked in connection with certain goods and services but I'd bet that for must uses due to the ubiquitous nature of the term that subsequent registrations would not hold up.

My $.02.

Pretty certain this is correct.  Good post.
