It's surprising that Bitcoin is being recognized and noticed in different ways around the world.
It was just being adopted by merchants these days and it's now being recognized and added even in scrabble.
People will surely be more aware about cryptocurrency becsuse of this.

I am sure that scrabble addicts will get to know more of the word 'bitcoin' while they are playing the game. Anyway, this is just telling us that indeed bitcoin has already entered the general consciousness of many people and that there are now institutions recognizing this fact. Of course, this does not mean that just because it is part of the scrabble we can now see mainstream adoption but certainly this can help a little.

It will be an eye-opener for scrabble users who will get curious about the word Bitcoin. We all know that not everyone is aware of what Bitcoin is so it will be an informative way to reach out on them. Scrabble is a never getting old game so it's a great advantage for most users.

I agree that it signifies a certain accomplishment of Bitcoin and can boost awareness. Every neutral or positive mention of Bitcoin counts as a good thing! Commercials, TV series, movies, and now games - all of that is helping to make Bitcoin even more popular as well as make people who already use it smile. It's also good that the diversity of mentions widens the audience, since, for example, someone who learned the word 'Bitcoin' from iZombie might not be a Scrabble fan, but those fans have their own way to learn the same word. I don't think this will have any immediate effect, but these are small steps towards increased popularity and usage of Bitcoin.

while it is not something too significant, this is what mass adoption is made of
Scrabble is a very popular game and getting kids know what bitcoin is ( or at least that there is such a word) means a lot
step by step we are getting closer and closer to the times when the word "bitcoin" is as common as "money"

Bitcoin is now integrated into our lives in every field. Scrabble is one of them. More will come.

I agree, it could be another stepping stone for bitcoin, with this a lot will be aware of bitcoin and hopefully it will help them know a bit of bitcoin. Considering a lot companies have now recognized bitcoin, I believe it will have a good impact in the price once a lot of people invest on bitcoin.

Being noticed and this kind of small recognition is already a big thing for Bitcoin. It would be another form of publicity which will be helpful for users to understand Bitcoin not just as a single word. Also, Scrabble isn't just for kids but for adults as well. Even kids nowadays have the curiosity about new words and meanings followed by the question about its functions.

Actually, "Bitcoin" (worth a measly 11 base points) was added to the sixth edition of the Official Scrabble Players Dictionary, released past September 2018 (ISBN 978-0-87779-596-4), not to the cover of the game’s box itself. You can check the officially valid game’s words here: https://scrabble.hasbro.com/en-us/tools#dictionary -> No Blockchain, nor any other crypto related word I’ve tried is listed there.

Surprisingly enough, "Ok" was one of the star additions (a bit of a latecomer …).
