It's a great sign of some believe in Bitcoin from CNN.

Every step in the right direction counts and is important.

XBT is already being used by exchanges and other sites, it's not new.

I think more and more companies and services, etc, will use XBT in the future.

XBT, BTC, Bits for Tits....I"ll take it!   Tongue

Just to have a Bitcoin Ticker on the main CNN Money Markets is a plus no matter which way you slice it.  Yes, Yahoo Finance, Google Finance, and Bloomberg had tickers before CNN, but just continuing positive coverage in the mainstream media is a boon.

And that CNN Inside Man was nice little doc wasn't it!  Need Morgan to do another one maybe in a year or so, when there's even more acceptance.

Haha..yeah.. SSL is pretty much a must these days..especially for a site as big as CNN

If only they could do a proper show going a bit more in deep about why BTC is important it would be better.

This is good news. Btw the ticker is still there on http://money.cnn.com/data/markets . This will increase awareness and more exposure on bitcoins towards the masses.

Interesting article but still don't understand why they couldn't just call it BTC like everyone else.

GOLD shouldn't that be GLD and not XAU
SILVER shouldn't that be SLV and not XAG

What drugs are these people in the office in Zuirch smoking?

Cheesy  

You should find this quote from any article

"Currently, BTC is the leading candidate as it is in common use globally. However, ISO 4217 standards expect a leading letter “X” for global commodities like gold (XAU) and emergent supranational currencies like the precursor to the Euro (XEU). To this effect, some leading foreign exchange tools and services have already adopted the leading code “XBT” such as Xe.com, Oanda and Bloomberg."

Yahoo's offered the BTC/USD conversion in their ticker system for almost a year...CNN's just catching up.

However, It's nice that the bitcoin ticker is on CNN Money Market's homepage! Just imagine when bitcoin is the 4th ticker on your favorite news channel after SP500, DIJA, Nasdaq, BTC Cheesy

Yes, really great news for bitcoin and us!
It's really give us confidence that very soon bitcoin will be accepted by other big companies and merchants and become mainstream.
Right now, people are loosing their faith in bitcoin and selling it in panic, for very low price.
We have to change such trend and such news can help and increase confidence in btc again.

X__ is any cross national currency and thus XBT makes sense for the financial markets.
