Note
Only one meaning of bitcoin can be counted, and this plural belongs to it: the individual unit of the cryptocurrency, as in a wallet holding three bitcoins. The name of the currency system itself is uncountable and takes no plural. So one writes that bitcoin is decentralized, using the singular for the system, and reserves bitcoins for amounts that are bought, sold or held.
