Hear me out.&#xA;&#xA;BTC already identifies the Bitcoin-SHA-256 chain. Once there are two competing Bitcoin consensus networks, using BTC for both just creates unnecessary confusion and endless arguing.&#xA;&#xA;XBT on the other hand is already an established Bitcoin ticker, used in financial infrastructure and APIs. &#xA;&#xA;The X prefix also has a deeper meaning: it is used for non-national (stateless) monetary assets like gold, silver and Monero.&#xA;&#xA;That makes XBT a much better fit than inventing some shitcoin-sounding ticker like BTB or B2B.&#xA;&#xA;XBT = Bitcoin-BLAKE2b&#xA;XAU = Gold&#xA;XAG = Silver&#xA;XMR = Monero&#xA;&#xA;And if the market eventually trades BTC/XBT, that pair would give us a clean market signal for which Bitcoin people actually value more.&#xA;&#xA;The name Bitcoin-BLAKE2b was organically adopted by the community thanks to the great essay by nostr:npub1ehrl5uzdckkm3ygkhe94pdz005j0yzwkzv50elu3c5whufywqmlqdxqsdz. Maybe you guys could call our bannermen for this one too? What do you think?&#xA;&#xA;Link to the essay: https://x.com/Roughnecks110/article/2087128292444996022</html></oembed>
