The addition of a bitcoin currency symbol clearly shows that Google does not turn a blind eye to the crypto world.

Time will tell what the cascading effect of adding the bitcoin symbol is to the minds of everyday iOS users.
What do you get from adding a bitcoin currency symbol to iOS?
It is just creating awareness man, it can't hurt. I mean its not a huge deal, it would have been a big deal if it was 5 years ago, but right now whenever you ask someone if they know what "bitcoin is" they usually do, they are aware of its existence.
5 years ago when I first started to actually make some decent money thanks to bitcoin I wasn't really getting through to people, I was trying to tell them how I make my money and what bitcoin is and most of the time they didn't know what it was.
Today even elderly people (not like 80+ but more like 50+ types) now what bitcoin is. Hell my father who is 60 years old called me up about some news he found about bitcoin online. That's why the app icon is not really a huge deal but its always better to have that than not have it.
