Shouldn't they be shaped like a burgler to keep everyone vigilant?  http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRMgtd1XMiUbs27lxvQ6alY1lcjV1tHouKwRPMvN-7vhtP_iy4tyAIf a few bitcoin falls out of your pocket in the forest, do they make a sound?

Electrons in semiconductors are delocalized and have no definite orbitals, and electrons themselves are indivisible elementary particles: something bitcoins are not.
Although... bitcoins are like fuzzy objects that are sometimes not there when their owners look for them, as well as catlike objects that resist being put back in the bag...
What are, like bitcoins, mineable (by breeding), infinitely divisible (by fur), easily transferable (by purpose or negligence), and more? Cats.
Therefore, I propose that the official shape of bitcoins be the furball.

I like that. They don't have a value until you look at them. Wouldn't the market collapse by observing it? |

Wave function collapse? When I made my weekly "portfolio" check in Mt. Gox a few days ago, Bitcoins were at $17 and slowly going up. I put in a buy order for $100 and ten minutes later they were at 1 cent.
Although stocks usually go down right after I buy them, like when I lost my entire portfolio of $2500 in eight days last year, this is a little more like a lightning strike from Hermes.

1. When I saw the title I had a feeling someone didn't understand some science.
2. When I read the OP, I had a feeling someone would screw up and use the Bohr model of the atom to justify roundness.
3. When someone finally did use the Bohr model, I had a feeling I'd end up being the one who explained how and why they were wrong.
When someone not only proved me wrong on #3 but went on to make Schroedinger jokes about the market collapsing when observed I finally realized EXACTLY how right for me this community is.

Wave function collapse is not that bad, look at the Quantum Zeno Effect: If Bitcoin has a finite, gaussian decaying lifetime, we simply need to observe the market often and fast to make it stay I think we're going to need a LOT more market volume |

Bitcoins aren't round, if you look very closely they consist of rectangles, and if you look even closer they consist of 0's and 1's. Looking round is just an illusion to be compatible with humanity's historical conceptions about money.

What stocks did you buy that went to zero value in 8 days? Definitely not any on the S&P 500, NYSE or NASDAQ |
