nice , the dictionary keeps the entries forever , unlike the online version Oxford's Online Dictionary the latter has already included all of the words like bitcoin , cryptocurrency plus blockchain and miner : https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/blockchain for example p.s. if you are interested in how Oxford's dictionary was created, watch The Professor and the Madman movie That was one terrible movie in all sense

It is a predictable thing. Cryptocurrency has become a bit popular and recognizable, so it is naturally that defines of such things appear more and more. Mentioning about Satoshi, Bitcoin, cryptocurrency and so on I met in different dictionaries, not only in the Oxford Dictionary. And it is great, I think. It means that people are searching the information about this direction and such kind of definitions are demanded. For example from some of online dictionaries, when you try to find some information about satoshi, this one appeares - "It was founded in 2008 by this anonymous programmer using a pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto". May be not always the information or interpreting of information is precise, but some time ago it was hard to find even this in the Internet. To my mind very soon even more definitions will appear.

First was bitcoinSecond was cryptocurrenyNow they listed "satoshi" and defined it as: a satoshi is the smallest monetary unit in the Bitcoin cryptocurrency, and is named after Satoshi Nakamoto, the—probably pseudonymous—developer(s) of Bitcoin. ...snip... Fascinating to find an earlier iteration of the word "cryptocurrency" being cited in the OED notes ... " 2009 @hxn 23 Sept. in twitter.com (O.E.D. Archive) This is really interesting: bitcoin, the p2p cryptocurrency. "See thread: Re: Who coined the word "cryptocurrency" ...- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5155348.0... Am pretty sure it was Satoshi himself. There's a passage in Digital Gold by Nathaniel Popper where it's proposed in an exchange with that Finnish fella who helped him out with bitcoin.org at the start. I'll dig around.
Edit - It was an unknown stranger.
'While satoshi never discussed anything person in these emails, he would banter with Martti about little things.
In one email Satoshi pointed to a recent exchange on the Bitcoin email list in which a user referred to Bitcoin as a "cryptocurrency" referring to the cryptographic functions that made it run.
"Maybe it's a word we should use when describing Bitcoin. Do you like it?" Satoshi asked.
"It sounds good," Martti replied. "A peer to peer cryptocurrency could be the slogan." '

To some extent, it actually has an impact on the community because they tend to be at peace more with something that is recognized worldwide, and something they can even make reference to when discussing with the people involved. Wherever satoshi is now, I am sure he will be so glad to know that his name is being made reference to already which I am also sure that very soon, institutions will also start teaching with the name in class and they will always refer to him as cryptocurrency guru.
The happiest moment will be the recognition he will get when the government eventually recognizes cryptocurrency and decide to give it a chance to be spent by the entire citizens of the world, so I see it as a good news to some certain extent really.

That's great! We're getting more and more better news and update about cryptocurrency and bitcoin. It's a good sign that we're getting more people's attention through time. And now, I'm looking forward for more crypto/bitcoin related words being defined by Oxford Dictionary in the future. But I'm curious if does 'blockchain' already become a part of Oxford Dictionary?

This is normal because every year all reliable dictionaries and encyclopedias are always updating in which they will include all new words and discoveries to make their enterprise to become more salable in which this includes the Bitcoin and its related names because it is becoming more known and famous around the globe. Soon all the people in the world will know what is Bitcoin is.

Yes, Blockchain is listed already on lexico.com which is powered by oxford Reference: https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/blockchainBut the thing is I can't search the satoshi on every dictionary. I don't know why. Even on many famous dictionaries like Meriam Webster dictionary. edit: found the satoshi in oxford dictionary reference: https://oed.com/view/Entry/78036595

I mean every year they have their process of updating their dictionary to include words that has caught the attention of the masses in the last year of so. So definitely adding 'satoshi', is already a big win for crypto enthusiast around the world. We have been using that term for a long time, since bitcoin's inception and it's just about time that it is added in dictionaries, so that those who are not away of it will be familiarised and it could bring more people into the ecosystem because of this, who knows.

I think somewhere this step of Oxford will be very helpful for Bitcoin to increase its trust between new crypto community and those who are still not aware about cryptocurrency anyway it was late decision but at least they have done it and I appreciate it.

I think it would not affect a huge large of impact to bitcoin because we live on a technology now. Unless the teacher would discuss something about bitcoin and it could have an impact to the future bitcoin. There are some people who uses dictionary but they not read all the books at all and curious by some word of satoshi.

Maybe they will know what Bitcoin is in lingvistic but still many people don't know what is the purpose of Bitcoin and how it's functioning. I agree that update of dictionaries are usual and they have to include new words to be actual and updated. This is not made especialy because of Satoshi or Bitcoin.

This is late but this is still good news. It may not affect bitcoin price but having been listed in Oxford dictionary means recognition. Expect the other dictionaries too follow soon. This is normal because bitcoin will slowly becoming mainstream. Many are saying it is a bubble and will die soon. Now bitcoin is once again at $9,000.

English language is really dynamic, new words keeps adding up to the old vocabularies we know already. Adding a common word like Satoshi which is usually used in discussions involving cryptocurrencies especially bitcoin is a great addition. I hope more words would be added to help promote cryptocurrencies across the globe.

When was this added? And does anyone have the exact dates of Bitcoin and crypto-currency when they where added. I'll bet 0.01 BTC that it was right after or during the meteoric rise to 20k.
It's interesting, showcases some form of adoption but the English dictionary accepts a bunch of words and popular slang has even been added to the dictonary.
Please stop saying this will affect prices, being listed in a dictionary isn't going to make people want to buy Bitcoin more, it's just a cool thing.
