Why wouldn't the plural be bitcoins?

something to do with 'uncountable nouns'

It's like "internet", when can you use a plural for it? 'bitcoin' doesn't refer to how much value you have stored, it refers to the whole thing, aside from forks, there is only one bitcoin. just like there is only one internet/world wide web

Or really what the confusion stems from:
>Somebody sent me two Bitcoins using the Bitcoin network.
The protocol and individual pieces of currency are two different things. I don't know if the currency becomes plural when specifically referenced.
