It's almost a universal convention in european languages due to the influence of germany to use the capital letter this way. Eastern europeans explicitly use a definite article, "the nature", eg "Природата" (bulgarian) or "Природа" (rest of E. Europe) where germans write "Natur" and don't say Der/Die/Das.

Makes sense. I was just wondering if Satoshi was the one who suggested this convention. Some casual googling suggests it was someone else, and he never addressed this question. https://bitcoin.meta.stackexchange.com/a/22

To me, it's always been Bitcoin (protocol), bitcoin(s) (UTXO(s)), and bitcoind the peer/node.
It's probably a sysadmin/programmer thing to prefer to use the program's executable filename to refer to it.

Did Satoshi come up with that distinction (B vs b) or did that come later from someone else?
