Definitely a bubble forming - bitcoins marketcap was 1B only a week ago (http://blockchain.info/charts/market-cap http://blockchain.info/charts/market-cap).
Note they also use the Ƀ (B with stroke) to represent Bitcoin. Kudos to ECOGEX for their discussion a few weeks ago that set this in motion (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5451084 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5451084).
- drcode 13y agoI should point out I'm wearing a bitcoin t shirt printed months ago that has the Ƀ so this has clearly already had wide adoption before then... don't give anyone undue credit.
- kiba 13y agoNo, that's complete nonsense. Only some individuals represent bitcoin with a stroke. Bitcoin surprisingly doesn't have a standard in its logo and symbol usage. Everybody said BTC for bitcoin though.
- camdykeman 13y agoComplete nonsense... Did I say Ƀ was the standard? Did I say ฿ was the standard? No, I noted they used Ƀ and gave the previous article props for bringing that symbol more recognition. Did I say they invented it? No. All of you need to stop trolling, comments like the ones in response to my OP are what ruins HackerNews.
- sneak 13y agoMany more people use ฿ than Ƀ. Source: I've been studying and speaking on Bitcoin since 2010. (http://vimeo.com/27653912 http://vimeo.com/27653912)
- camdykeman 13y agoThis is a moot point. I recognize that more people use ฿ than Ƀ. I was simply stating what was used on the site and congratulating the use of (what I consider) to be a more visually appealing symbol. Congrats on using yourself as your own source. Don't beg the question and stop trolling.
