Since the ISO doesn't have a 4217 code for Bitcoin, but BTC would conflict with the existing global standards, it's unlikely that we would that 'code' if we were to list Bitcoins.

Let's just hope they don't accidentally the internet in the process.

Huh? Did you leave out an important word in that sentence? I feel like there should be a verb in there somewhere?
You're only allowed to buy vowels, not whole words, silly.

I guess we could just add the ever useful stand-in verb?

notice how there's also a verb missing in the text I quoted (bolded above)?

it's a meme

“I Accidentally…” is a catchphrase, internet slang, and trolling mechanism meant to exploit the imagination of English-speaking internet users. It is used by constructing a complete sentence that begins with “I accidentally” and removing the verb, leaving readers wondering what had been there in the first place.

And inside jokes are only funny if you are on the inside. Otherwise they just sound stupid.

Eh, it may be and I just have never heard of it before. But I also tend to frown on stupid internet memes, so there are probably lots that I have heard of but just make me mad.

No good, currency code "BIT" is reserved for the African country of Burundi.

I like this idea.

Regarding the 100 satoshis... Ok, I suppose that makes sense.  It'll be a while before we reach parity with the dollar at that level though!   Cheesy
