I've always been curious, why do some people put the dollar sign after the number?  That seems so unusual to me..

[escrow.ms]

It's a weekend and a New months starting too, what do you expect?
Just Some panicked sellers are selling their bitcoins or some people are trying to manipulate prices so they can buy at low prices and sell at high prices tommorow.

[JTrain_51]

Agree with the post above

Also alot of people are enjoying the long weekend and are not selling there bitcoins

Varies by country. Most Western countries have it as $1,000. In Eastern countries, it often looks more like 1.000$.

Many currencies have their currency symbol after the amount.
Just an example: for euros it is 1,000€.

I think it's also sometimes because the currency comes last when you say it out loud, like: One thousand Dollars, so some peeps just tack the symbol on the end.

And if it does go below 1000$ - - it'll only rise back up and further in a matter of time, so it's irrelevant.

BTC crashing is going to be really difficult as most of the people who not yet have got into bitcoins and have deep wallets are just waiting for a decrease to buy in  . People want btc price to move up and exploit the market as much as possible that is why they first tested it with 1000$ mark and since that has been achieved some are exiting whereas others want to test the 2000$ mark or even the 10,000$ mark

I have to correct you on this. It is either "€1,000" or "1,000 euro". This is the same in all western countries. Putting the currency sign at the back or the word at the front is wrong.

For countries like China where they write right-to-left, I can see why it would be the other way around, however.

I live in Europe. I can assure you that everything using Euros, including banks, format their amounts in this syntax:

100€
100 EUR

No one, I repeat, absolutely no one, will put the currency sign at the left of the amount. And I live in Western Europe. France, Germany, Spain... all of them do it this way (I'm yet to find anyone from these countries or from my own to do it the other way).

Where are you from?

EDIT:
Have some proof: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euro#Pi.C3.A8ces

How are the amounts formatted?

Set the price to $900 as OP predicts and many will buy like crazy, it is 4 digit psychology

[seleme]

Currency sign prefix is characteristic only for USA and UK, probably Australia too.. not sure about Asia and such but in Europe it's certainly 1000 EUR.

If you were to write it how you speak, you would say one thousand dollars, not dollars one thousand.
But like everyone else said, its a regional thing.

Same with cents.  In Western, you would use a period for cents ($1000.00) whereas in European countries you would use comma for cents (1000,00$).

[Holdaaja]

I'm from Finland and we always write it like 1000€, first time I have seen €1000 is this forum.

[john_doe]

In the Americas you say $1000. But if you use the currency code then it goes after the amount, like this: 1000 USD, 1000 BRL, 1000 EUR, ...

nothing to do with currency, in the Netherlands we use euros as well and we usually have the € before the number.

I'm pretty sure it's because people who do that are not very educated, at least in terms of writing. They probably have little writing experience and because it is stated as "5 Dollars" and not "Dollars 5" they think the way to write it is "5$" and not "$5".

The reason why the above makes sense is because when I was younger I used to write it as 5$ as well because of the way it was said out loud "5 dollars". At one point I realized though what mistaked I had been making and then started writing it as $5 thereafter.

So if the person is over 18 years old and still writes it as 5$.... There's no excuse for that.

You mean Brits and Americans? Yeah, people who can't accept logic or the metric system don't come off as very educated. Face it, you handful of English-speaking countries simply have nonsensical conventions that now only seem "natural" to you because you've lived with them all your lives. To the rest of the world, writing is clear and intuitive, in that:

"one kilometer" = "1 km"
"five milligrams" = "5 mg"
"ten megabytes" = "10 MB"
"fifteen euros" = "15 €"

But no, screw logic 'cos we're 'murricanz and 'murricanz know best, so you went with:

"twenty dollars" = "$20" (?!?!?)

Not to mention the rest of your screwed up ways of measuring and formatting things...


In general, it's better if you simply don't bring these things up at all. Just stay appropriately silent and ashamed.
