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,
Frank.
The large majority of users and exchanges within the Bitcoin community use BTC as the trade symbol, but there have been some people who tried to make XBT or XBTC as an homage to the gold and silver ticker symbols on stock markets, trying to equate Bitcoin to precious metals.
Aside from that, there has never really been anything that was agreed upon in a definite manner so it's up to everyone to just use whatever it is they want to call Bitcoin when it comes to exchanges. It's just been de-facto agreed that BTC is proper.
