Oh NO that symbol is a lot worse than what we have and look like doge symbol

Thanks for the inspiration

Boggie/Boge coin?
OK how many Billion will be made?  Tongue

Only 1 BogeCoin will be made; that's pre-mined by me and I am the current holder. Since there are no more BogeCoins to be mined, it makes the current 1 BogeCoin value as infinite. However seeing your good conduct and Hero member status, I am kindly agreeing to trade the invaluable BogeCoin for 1000 BTC. No escrow accepted and you go first Tongue

There is almost zero chance that the upside down cross will gain popular approval.



/fixed

If it has to change, that isn't too bad.
The current one could be "unicoded" someday?

Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending
http://www.coindesk.com/industry-website-advocate-bitcoins-unicode-symbol/

Quote
An effort to better represent bitcoin as a symbol has been launched.

The Unicode symbol has been chosen by a website of industry members as a way to better legitimize bitcoin as a symbol both in print and online media.


Proposed New Symbol:



i like it

Question is WHO is promoting this and for what reasons. From a symbologistic perspective it does not look healthy or positive in any way, but like a B stabbed in the back. The currently dominating symbol with the two rays on the bottom and two on top looks much more balanced and 'healthy' - a bit like those images of space-alines on ancient rock carvings…

Did you miss my post above answering that question?

the 2 vertical lines in the dollar symbol are actually a hack of the original symbol (a U super imposed on an S).  so I don't necessarily agree they should carry over to BTCitcoin.

I greatly enjoy the new symbol (looks Euro   Grin)

Seems like they are changing it so the can trademark it too, I think no one should buy into this scam.  Another greed looking to make money off of trademarking leave the old bitcoin be.

That B looks like it has oral herpes.  Simply repulsive.



Do we really want people to be repelled by bitcoin?

Agreed. I am comfortable with idea of changing the symbol to something Unicode, but this proposed one looks no good. More alternatives needed.

NEW symbol is nice, but shouldn't be a concern. Once we get mass adoption down, THEN we should worry about a new symbol.

You mean like everybody first bought apple stuff and only then they created the brand?
