Nobody knows who designed the Bitcoin logo and it represents a $1.4 trillion asset
Satoshi's original logo was a gold coin with the letters "BC" on it
In February 2010 a BitcoinTalk user named NewLibertyStandard proposed using the Thai baht symbol ฿ and the ticker "BTC" in a single forum post
Before that, Bitcoin had no symbol and no official ticker
Satoshi responded two weeks later with an updated logo:
Same gold coin but now with a "B" and two vertical strokes inspired by the dollar sign
It was better but the community still wasn't impressed
One user replied asking if they could come up with something "more respectable" and added "I really am not trying to be mean."
Then in November 2010 an anonymous user called "bitboy" showed up on BitcoinTalk, said he just wanted to drop by and share some graphics, and posted the orange and white logo the entire world now recognizes
White ₿ tilted exactly 14 degrees clockwise on a flat orange circle
Free to download on a public domain
Then he left
Nobody has ever confirmed who bitboy is
The ticker "BTC" technically violates international currency code standards because "BT" is already the country code for Bhutan, which is why some exchanges use "XBT" instead.
The ₿ symbol wasn't officially added to Unicode until late 2015 when Bitcoin was trading around $400
For over 6 years the most important digital currency in the world didn't have an officially recognized symbol
Every piece of Bitcoin's identity was made by anonymous people on a forum and given away for free
Just because a few people believed in something before anyone else
