So I was sitting in my room knitting a sweater, but then I realized my crotchet needle wasn't long enough to make a full sweater, so I made a muffler scarf.
Eight hours of my life....
Anyway, I want to hand embroider the bitcoin symbol onto the scarf in gold, and not in orange. Someone argued that orange is a cheerful energizing color. That's not the spirit of bitcoin though. Bitcoin is about wealth. You can see our argument here.

My proposal is that the logo should be gold, while taking out that orange circle. The color gold will automatically entice more people to be a part of this currency if we occupy a color that exudes power, dominance, wealth, leisure and success.
Besides, gold yarn will look better on this cream colored scarf anyway.
Your thoughts?

I think symbolism is important. If our goal is to market bitcoin to the masses and ultimately achieve world domination, then messaging is important and we should have this focus group tested. My guess is people associate gold with wealth and security more than orange.
