I said Bitcoins. Because coins usually has an s when discussing many of them.

What I've always wondered: if multiple Satoshi (?) should be called Satoshi like deer (for many deer), vs. Satoshis?

Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

I think bitcoin is more practical because most trade will be < a whole bitcoin. Also its virtual so 'coin' is a misnomer, its more like a commodity.

0.142 bitcoin

The question isn't about when it is less than 1 bitcoin.

The question is:

3 bitcoin?
or
3 bitcoins?

I would call it bitcoin as per the niche a name given to a coin which is bit, because it is generated using computers by solving algo
names are singular hence it should be bitcoin and not bitcoins, however when we term them in general making them more than 1 bitcoin we term them bitcoins, well this is a little funny sine our grammar system is made that way

I would say bitcoins is being used.
It would blend in with the current usage and grammar, and people can just substitute coins with bitcoins.
