Sorry if this has been asked before.

Is there a decision, official ISO list, or any other consensus on the actual proper ticker / currency code for Bitcoin yet?

BTC / XBT etc..

... each exchange seems to be using their own code, it's still the wild west out there.

Cheers,

As the other stated already, BTC is the obvious official currency code currently.

However, I know that XBTfreelancer.com disagrees. That is a big Bitcoin based freelancing site. So obviously some people prefer using XBT.

From an overall perspective, BTC is far and away more well known and used than XBT though.

I did not even realize that XBT was a legitimate code for Bitcoin until joining this forum. I thought it was just a thing exchanges used for whatever reason to represent Bitcoin. Ever since learning about Bitcoin in 2013, I had always thought the only official, widely used code was BTC.
