Are you surprised that intuition is the most extreme personality trait among Bitcoiners?

90% of Bitcoiners score as intuitive, compared to just 27% of the general population.

Maybe that’s because before you can understand Bitcoin, you first have to feel…

The Forum Post That Asked for ₿

Bitcoin was 18 months old and worth fractions of a penny. That week, one Bitcointalk user proposed something audacious: Bitcoin should have its own Unicode character. It took 7 years. Brief thread...…

2/7 - At 3:02 AM UTC on July 15, 2010, a user named mizerydearia opened a thread on Bitcointalk with a simple question: shouldn't Bitcoin be submitted to the Unicode Consortium for its own currency symbol?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=369.msg3074#msg3074

3/7 - There was a catch. The obvious symbol, ฿, was already taken. It belongs to the Thai baht, encoded as U+0E3F. Bitcoin couldn't borrow it. If Bitcoin wanted a character of its own, it would need a genuinely new one.

4/7 - The visual already existed. On February 24, 2010, Satoshi himself had posted the B with two vertical strokes as Bitcoin's new logo. Everyone knew what the symbol looked like. It just didn't exist in any font, on any keyboard, in any standard.

5/7 - Then, nothing. For four years the idea sat idle while Bitcoin went from fractions of a penny to over $1,000. Only in June 2014 did the Bitcoin Foundation form a Standards Committee to finally pursue the Unicode submission.

6/7 - The formal proposal reached the Unicode Consortium on October 3, 2015. Confirmed that November. Added to the standard on November 1, 2016. And on June 20, 2017, Unicode 10.0 shipped with ₿ encoded as U+20BF, seven years after the forum post.

7/7 - The ask was audacious. Unicode decides which symbols exist in human writing, and in 2010 Bitcoin had no real price and a handful of developers. By the time ₿ was standardized, Bitcoin's market cap was in the tens of billions. The question came 7 years…
