I do not mind where the symbol is placed as long as the amount sent to me is correct. Each country has its own preference and since Bitcoin is one of the supporters of the word "freedom" anyone can choose where to place the symbol of BTC. It may look awkward if we see the symbol being placed after the number but it is still correct and the same when the symbol is place before the amount. So regardless of the placement as long as the amount is the same, I would not mind it anyway.

Just like what stated in this ↓↓↓

Hence, it should be consulted previously, in my case as long as the amounts that you sent are correct ( Wink

) you can place before or after (I would say that this type of formality is colloquial/BTT, niche ).

I think some posts I've read before are based on asking for help the AI.

It all depends on who or with whom you are going to determine its use, if you are submitting a doctoral thesis, for example, you cannot take it lightly, it is something that you should verify with your tutor, for example, he will govern the way in which that you must designate if it goes before or after.

Somes countries it is used before, being a currency expression you must place it before (my country).

Consequently, in a mere formalism (maybe): academic, , grammatical, financial, colloquial and niche where you are.

So, here in the forum you can see it is placed after, e.g.: games and rounds (board) we can have a rule not written and it is the one that we can follow. Or perhaps in another local board they do it differently, but the important thing is that according to the relevance of the situation, place, etc. It is what determines whether to place it before or after.

Hence, it should be consulted previously, in my case as long as the amounts that you sent are correct ( Wink

) you can place before or after (I would say that this type of formality is colloquial/BTT, niche ).

In Electrum wallet, you have a position as 0.01 BTC.
In Bitcoin Core wallet, you have a position as 0.01 BTC.

I vote for this position for Bitcoin symbol, after the number.

But there is a currency symbol and then currency codes. What you are talking about is a currency code or in this case Bitcoin code, which usually comes after the figure. OP is interested in the position of the Bitcoin symbol BTC

Some countries prefer to write their currency symbols after the end of the figure in question, especially for some non-English-speaking countries, but I have seen it as a culture, and I don't know if it's official that a currency symbol appears first before the figure, that is to say, " $100, €100, ¥ 100, #100.

So when it comes to BTC, I think the best way it should be placed is based on who you are addressing it to and who is going to best understand what you mean by it. But in whatever way that it's written, it doesn't change the number, which is Carrie's; only the place that figures appear changes and not the number, and I think that's understandable by many.

Simply put do it to match the culture, personality and preference of the user, community or organization you are trying to work with it. In the era where every is easily offended with anything, it is best to do your homework on whatever external crypto body you're working with to find out their preference. However, the standard and widely use is the one where the value comes before the symbol. So many people are already used to this one and would find it hard to adjust or odd if the symbol comes before the figure.

If there's some thing directly from Satoshi there isn't a question to ask so I'll lock the thread. Is there any thing from Satoshi or the whitepaper saying it's BTC1 not 1BTC I've looked but didn't discover any thing related. Bitcoin won't be affected as a revolution it's secure.

And it is BTC1 not 1BTC. I think there is no problem with additional and optional things like this. BTC will not lose its essence as a revolution.

I don't think this should cause any harm to you or badly affect your way of writing because I know it depends on countries where they love placing their values before coming the currency.
Like our country Nigeria, we do places N before amount for instance N200 but in terms of bitcoin 1BTC meaning, 1 comes before the symbols but for other countries like Europe and America it may varies.

As a matter of fact, if I were to treat Bitcoin as a new and revolutionary currency that goes against the flow of all these rotten fiat currencies, I might even be convinced that Bitcoin's symbol should be placed after, if only to show that this currency is different from the rest, that this currency is a form of resistance to the fiat standard.

That's good if the idea behind it's to place Bitcoin uniquely but it's used both styles.
I'll add a poll. The one in 2014 had 59 votes so let's try to beat it. 72% voted to show the symbol before the numbers.

But something revolutionary doesn't mean completely abandoning what used to be. BTC as a revolutionary thing in the economy is BTC as a decentralized currency which is the essence of the BTC revolution itself. As for the placement of symbols, I personally prefer ones that are easy for people to remember. And it is BTC1 not 1BTC. I think there is no problem with additional and optional things like this. BTC will not lose its essence as a revolution.

For me, The best place to put the Bitcoin symbol (₿) is before the amount. This is the convention that is most commonly used by Bitcoin users and exchanges. I personally prefer to put the Bitcoin symbol before the amount. I think it makes it easier to identify the currency and to distinguish between Bitcoin amounts and other types of numbers.

That's how it's being used by most ppl they're saying it's a currency so should be before.

Quote from: joniboini on September 01, 2023, 07:49:14 PM

I'd say just use whatever you like, the other party is likely going to understand anyway.

If the other party isn't going to understand it's better using variations when they're needed that way both aspects are covered.

I've seen amounts written in words like 1BTC 1 BTC but not like BTC1 BTC 1 so that's easy.

I'm asking if the best place for symbol's at the beginning or end of amounts. I've seen both styles. If you're writing amounts where's the best place supposed to be BTC1.23456789 or 1.23456789BTC. Which way do you prefer using the Bitcoin symbol.

Bitcoin's a currency so I guess the format of how other currencies are being written is also applied on this one.

Correct me if I'm wrong with this one. If you are using a symbol like BTC, normally it's being put at the first part of the number. For ex. BTC1 or BTC2. It's the same as $1 or $2. If you are using words like Bitcoin, or satoshi, or dollar, you can put it after the number like 1 Bitcoin, or 2 Bitcoins. It's like 1 Dollar or 2 Dollars or 2 Pesos.

In short, if symbol, before the number, and if words, after the number. Cheesy

I see that many people say 1 btc instead of btc 1 and I personally prefer to use writing symbols or say 1 btc, and the reason is because my instincts say so, namely that I prefer to write the symbol 1 btc rather than btc 1 but I also don't know which one which true, but in my opinion on this forum also the most mentioned is the symbol with the inscription for example 1 btc.

If the Bitcoin symbol is placed before the amount I will think that it's another version of Bitcoin, When it comes to the currency we are used to placing it at the start of the amount so it's just right that the symbol be put at the start of the amount.

When I was active in the Bounty campaign there was an altcoin there that was named BTC2, and they call it the new version of Bitcoin, we also have Bitcoin2 in the market https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/bitcoin-2-0.
So to avoid confusion it's better for the symbol to be placed before the amount.

I don't think it really matters as long as you see the bitcoin symbol or the word BTC at the start or the end of the number figure, that's understandable for everyone who has been in crypto space or at least engaged into bitcoin.
But for formality purposes, I'd prefer "BTC 1.12345" form, just like every other fiat currency in the world, so the people who has yet to hear about bitcoin may easily identify it as a currency or a digital currency to be precise by looking at it for the first time. First impression lasts, so the people who have seen bitcoin for the first time will not think bitcoin is some sort of a Ponzi or something like that, but they would always see it as a currency.

I see that the issue is not important what is the best place for the symbol at the beginning or end of the sums? Both methods can be used. This varies between countries and different languages as well, so there is no problem using either method.

According to the standards of the English language, I believe that if a symbol is used, it must be before the number or amount, but if a word for currency is used instead of the symbol, it should be written after the number, but the standards for other languages differ, so I think that everyone should write it in the way they like.

Bitcoin is not a fiat currency which needs Individual identity. Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency with a symbol as a resemblance to its existence. You can add it's symbol in any ways you want there is nothing wrong with that. I personally prefer adding the BTC1 before the numbers. When I am not putting the symbol I generally add BTC after the number. It all depends on you as an independent Individual where you want it to be.

I’ve got used to it being posted in both ways. The official bitcoin symbol stands out and you can see it’s an amount that’s required to be paid by Bitcoin. I don’t have an issue with this but I don’t like the micro and milli units of bitcoin.

Whenever I see uB or mB I always think I will pay the wrong amount and need to get calculator out. Even if my wallet supports those formats, I want to see in sat form of how much I am spending.

It's a cryptocurrency so just like all other known currencies, the symbol/sign should come before and not after. So it's BTC10 just like $10. The currency abbreviation code is what comes after. So 10 BTC is just like 10 USD

There was also a poll about this in 2014 ---> Bitcoin symbol positioning

Very simple, we do not need to do any mathematical calculations to determine where the position of symbols /signs for Bitcoin, officially should be BTC2., except if one wishes to write their way by placing the sign after the number and still doesn't change the amount.
So far we are dealing with a currency here, normally, we should also follow the same method we write or place our fiat currency signs.

I don't really think it's an issue to mull over, the best thing to do is we represent what bitcoin is, which is freedom so that means that you can place wherever you want that bitcoin symbol is because no one is going to stop you and it's not like it's causing a huge semantics issue on the side of people doing these transactions, the numbers is what matters the most.

I personally prefer before the amount as that's how most of the currencies are listed in fiat aswell!

in this case I lack insight and my knowledge has not reached that stage.

Of course, everyone will have different opinions regarding this matter and different desires in writing and placing numbers.

but if I prefer to write 1 btc compared to btc 1
