Ⓑ is definitely my favorite. It looks like a coin with a "b" on it so it's the most suitable in my opinion. I actually don't like ฿ and it's already taken which will cause confusion.

"B" is the kind of symbol that does not go well with piercing lines. Especially not two. "lB" kind of symbol would look nice.

I hate it because it looks like the Boston Bruins logo. Ⓑ

And the $ is used only in the USA...
The vocal minority representing Thai refuses to accept sharing. In addition to those countries of the world that use dollars or pesos, a number of other countries use the $ symbol to denote their currencies, including: Nicaraguan córdoba (usually written as C$) Samoan tālā (a transliteration of the word dollar) Tongan paʻanga
An exception is the Philippine peso, whose sign is written as . The dollar sign is also still sometimes used to represent the Malaysian ringgit (which replaced the local dollar), though its official use to represent the currency has been discontinued . Some currencies use the cifrão , similar to the dollar sign, but always with two strokes: Brazilian real Cape Verde escudo Chilean peso Portuguese escudo (defunct)
The cifrão is also used to account for over 130,000,000 domestic standard U.S. Mint (1986+) bullion U.S. silver dollars as one dollar per one troy ounce fine (99.9%), thereby avoiding confusion with debased U.S. trade dollar-denominated tokens and Federal Reserve notes.[citation needed]
In Mexico and another peso-using countries, the cifrão is used as a dollar sign when a document uses pesos and dollars at the same time, to avoid confusions, but, when it used alone, usually is represented as US $ (United States dollars). Example: US $5 (five US dollars).[citation needed]
In the United States, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Pacific Island nations, and English-speaking Canada, the dollar or peso symbol precedes the number, unlike most currency symbols. Five dollars or pesos is written and printed as $5, whereas five cents is written as 5¢. In French-speaking Canada, the dollar symbol usually appears after the number, although it sometimes appears in front of it, or instead may even be totally absent. That is not even getting into the whole section of $ in programming languages http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dollar_sign

I don't think a character symbol is really necessary. Just use BTC.
On images, the B with four vertical lines is unique and clear.

I'd personally love to see a revote in a month. Let this discussion die down, let no sides have some kind of large opinion. Believe it or not I don't care that much about it lol, it's that attitude that keeps me from downloading any files to see things that show up as blank boxes on my screen though too, like a lot of people I think.

I didn't get it.... I don't get this thread. Is there ever going to be a consensus on a symbol? Does it even matter?

Any significantly advanced cryptocurrency is indistinguishable from Ponzi Tulips.

I would change all Bitcoin related images I use on any sites to the B$ symbol if enough people are down. I would like that official too. No one would have to download any special characters. Does any other currency use two characters?

You know that the reason why it's being suggested is because it's "BS", right?
I would hope so, if not, I am not in!
