I don't think "BTC" should be used in contexts where it may be construed as an ISO-4217 currency code, as the first 2 letters correspond with ISO country codes and "BT" is reserved for Bhutan. I believe currencies not attached to specific geography or sovereignty should start with X (No country names start with X). So XBC seems the right fit.
- Avalaxy 13y agoCorrect, XBT is the ISO name for bitcoin. Most people don't know this and are still using BTC, but BTC is wrong.
- cgore 13y agoI suspect a lot of the original bitcoin folks, typically being some variant of libertarian or anarchist, couldn't care less what some random unelected multinational organization says.
