Electron orbits are round, not square 
Wow. The Bohr model...
A clue to the vintage of your worldview right there.
Well duh. Quoting M theory would not make a joke, it would just be creepy weird. Maybe you are confusing me with someone?

I thought OP was saying they should be square because they came from "blocks"

Religion is like a penis. It's great to have one, it's OK to be proud of it. . .but don't whip it out in public and PLEASE don't shove it down the children's throats.
You sir, win the prize of best signature ever.

I want a coin with key and transaction imagery that says along the rim "There is no coin".
Although stocks usually go down right after I buy them, like when I lost my entire portfolio of $2500 in eight days last year, this is a little more like a lightning strike from Hermes.
What stocks did you buy that went to zero value in 8 days? Definitely not any on the S&P 500, NYSE or NASDAQ
1. When I saw the title I had a feeling someone didn't understand some science.
2. When I read the OP, I had a feeling someone would screw up and use the Bohr model of the atom to justify roundness.
3. When someone finally did use the Bohr model, I had a feeling I'd end up being the one who explained how and why they were wrong.
When someone not only proved me wrong on #3 but went on to make Schroedinger jokes about the market collapsing when observed I finally realized EXACTLY how right for me this community is.
You guys rock.

I avoided this thread after reading it when it was only 1 post, definitely a pleasant surprise. I miss the cheesy physics humor of grad school.
If bitcoin is not square, then it should be there... 
or is it the other way around?

Bitcoins aren't round, if you look very closely they consist of rectangles, and if you look even closer they consist of 0's and 1's. Looking round is just an illusion to be compatible with humanity's historical conceptions about money.
Perhaps we should first define how many dimensions we are working with.
My brain goes all mushy after about 11...

I'd like to Imagine it being Like a "BuckyBall".
Therefore, I propose that the official shape of bitcoins be the furball.
I nominate myself!
Wave function collapse is not that bad, look at the Quantum Zeno Effect:
If Bitcoin has a finite, gaussian decaying lifetime, we simply need to observe the market often and fast to make it stay

I think we're going to need a LOT more market volume

Wave function collapse? When I made my weekly "portfolio" check in Mt. Gox a few days ago, Bitcoins were at $17 and slowly going up. I put in a buy order for $100 and ten minutes later they were at 1 cent.

It should be torus shaped.
Reflecting the [seemingly] infinite adress space.

They should have the shape of a cloud of probability and be defined by the Schrödinger equation.
I like that.
They don't have a value until you look at them.
Wouldn't the market collapse by observing it?
There is no denying that it's hip to be square.
