This discussion came as Bitcoin has gained popularity around the world
but there’s no official symbol that represents this cryptocurrency yet

What? I think most of us take it that the creator of Bitcoin came up with the Symbol/logo
for their own creation, meaning it is the official one.
There are a few discussions about that here too somewhere....

As regards Bitcoiners we wouldnt confuse the two symbols, we can differentiate
between the two but I can see how possibly some people would mix the two up or think
one represents the other.......at first glance.

Here is a thread comparing company logos/symbols to the Bitcoin one but in the end
the Bitcoin logo is unique, Satoshi made sure it wouldnt end up being the same >

This "issue" is as old as time itself

Example article from 2014 https://www.techinasia.com/bitcoin-enthusiasts-steal-symbol-thailands-currency

It hasn't caused any confusion apart from early days when the symbol was proposed and I believe it is different enough that ensures distinction, not to mention the color that is usually used in the signs (orange) is an obvious giveaway.

Can someone from Thailand give us some first hand experience with how they are dealing with the similarity of these symbols in their country? It must be very difficult to differentiate between the two symbols, especially if the font is smaller?

If you are able to differentiate altcoins like bitcoin cash, bitcoin sv and the other forked coins that have similar logo with bitcoin, you should not also find it difficult to differentiate between bitcoin and baht ฿ which are not the same at all, they may have B in the logo but they still both look differently and not the same. It will be easy for the citizens of Thailand to know the differences as they are not the same, it will not appear the same to people that know much about their local currency's logo. Ifni see that logo, my mind will never even go to the part of thinking it is bitcoin.

I am not from Thailand but where I used to work we have a lot of moneychangers near my area and a few specifically Thai places for workers to send their money home (like a special instant baht remittance),,, and although I have always seen the symbol, I never got confused. Until now you are the only one who has ever brought it up that I can recall.

One line and double line makes a big difference to me I guess,,, plus also Bitcoin double lines do not run through. I do not feel it is confusing Cheesy

Interesting. I didn't know about that. I just googled it and they indeed look very similar. I think the only difference is that it has one vertical bar instead of two and that it goes through the B, as opposed to Bitcoin, where only the top and bottom parts of the two bars are visible.

Looking forward to it as well.

I watched some guy that was gambling on a "Live" stream on TiKtok this weekend and I saw that the symbol for his currency (Baht ฿) was very similar to the Bitcoin symbol BTC ...so close that it might be a bit confusing, depending on what Font you were using.

I think some small change to the Bitcoin symbol can make it more recognizable? What if we give the the two boobs a nipple on the B for instance. (obviously joking)

Let's discuss... Wink

Ps... Type this in Google ==> "bath currency symbol" then click on images and see how many times they use the Bitcoin symbol as the symbol for the Baht currency. Roll Eyes
