That's recency bias. The portion where I used "bitcoins" was in the context of a story from >10 years ago when the common nomenclature (due to the low value of a single bitcoin) was "bitcoins" as most purchase dealt with the plural.

How much is that steak? "Oh, it's 5 dollars or 5,000 bitcoins, whichever you prefer to receive."

I hate to be a dick, but your ignorance is showing.

For modern context, I typically opt for the singular use of "bitcoin" or the plural "sats". Due to the increase in the value of a single bitcoin and the rarity that it's being used in a plural sense.
