How do you call Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is generally referred to as a "cryptocurrency" or "digital currency." It was created by an anonymous individual or group under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008 and launched as open-source software in 2009. Bitcoin operates without a central authority or a single administrator, meaning it is decentralized and peer-to-peer.

Transactions are verified by network nodes through cryptography and recorded on a public ledger called a blockchain.

When people say they "call Bitcoin," they usually mean contacting support services related to exchanges or wallets that facilitate the buying, selling, and storing of Bitcoin. However, Bitcoin itself has no central office or official customer support team to call. Instead, assistance comes from the community, online resources, or the support services of third-party platforms like exchanges or wallet providers.

In terms of terminology, Bitcoin (capital "B") refers to the protocol and system, while bitcoin (lowercase "b") refers to the units of currency within that system. Whether discussing it as a currency or technology, people commonly refer to it as "Bitcoin" in everyday language.
