Bitcoin’s smallest unit Satoshi now in the Oxford Dictionary

    The smallest monetary unit in the digital payment system Bitcoin, which corresponds to one hundred millionth of a Bitcoin.

The dictionary explains that the word comes from a real name – Satoshi Nakamoto. Under this pseudonym, a cryptography expert or a group started the crypto-currency Bitcoin more than a decade ago. Whoever it was, that person has managed to integrate his pseudonym into the English dictionary, and that’s certainly not an easy task.
