I'm glad you're interested! :)
Since every noun in Spanish is preceded by an article, and articles have a gender, anything in spanish that's not an article is either male or female. For example:
- "beauty" is "la belleza", feminine, and "courage" is "el coraje", male.
- "happiness" is "la felicidad", feminine, and "anger" is "el enojo", male.
And so on. Bitcoin is "el Bitcoin", so it's male. Some articles are placed to avoid cacophony, so for example "water" ("agua") is feminine, but it's preceded by a male article ("el agua") because "la agua" sounds horrible.
Due to it's Italian roots Spanish is definitely vibrant, yet not quite as the master. Even for us Argentinians (who mostly descend from Italian immigrants), Italians sound remarkably vibrant and energic. Spanish, being able to be much softer in tone and accentuation, plus the energic Italian inheritance, has led to many rural zones in Argentina to develop an accent that sounds like if people is singing softly when they talk, we love that people.
