This was followed by Max Koopsen, the copy editor at Cointelegraph, asking questions pertaining to the capitilization of the name of a cryptocurrency. One of his tweets read,

“3. Why is it “ethereums” rather than “ethers”? In my understanding, Ethereum is the name of the system while ether is the currency. Maybe @VitalikButerin can help clear it up?”

This, in turn, grabbed the attention of Vitalik Buterin, the creator of Ethereum, who stated that the preferred term for the payment use of Ethereum to be referred as ether. He stated,

“I think we favor “ether” for the cryptocurrency, plural also ether. So: ‘the price of ether is stable today’, ‘I paid him 5 ether for the banana’, ‘my favorite cryptocurrency is ether’.”
