Winklevoss Bitcoin ETF Needs Ticker

[wachtwoord]

Am I missing the obvious?  What about BTC or XBT?

When I went to check whether the names are available (they are so these win btw). I found a small OTC stock called Bitcoin Shop Inc. (Ticket: BTCS, market cap < $15M). I didn't know any pure "Bitcoin company" was publically traded already

I think MOON would be appropirate... 

Was going to write the same thing! I also like HODL haha

I saw bitcoin and I bought in without thinking. No point in selling now though....

Winklevoss Bitcoin Investment Fund or "WBIF"... Would that work or is it already taken?

I know I've been caught in such situations myself. I still hold BBRY (previously RIMM). The company stinks now (I overestimated the durability of their moat), but it's worth more than the crappy price it's trading for.

Are 6 characters allowed? If so then DOUCHE.

[LiteCoinGuy]

BTCF should be good....or GOX

[ShakyhandsBTCer]

Why not BTC?

Per google finance and yahoo finance that ticker is not being used.

[BetMoose]

Do we even know if they'll succeed in listing it?

Talking about VIP ( Very Ignorant People ) ...I hope so.. I hope wink-bros find their way to nasdaq... after all even ( Satoshi was pissed !? ) Julian gave a huge tip to Eric Schmidt but .... and why


On the 23 of June, 2011 a secret five hour meeting took place between WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange, who was under house arrest in rural UK at the time and Google CEO Eric Schmidt.

What ultimately matters is if a bitcoin ETF eventually starts trading on a stock exchange or not.

Once it starts trading on a stock exchange then trading volume will surge.

That was exactly my thought.

Also; relevant future contract on our site:

___________

Winklevoss Bitcoin ETF will trade on the NASDAQOptions: Yes | No

[serenitys]

I would officially vote for BTC but I personally think WTF is best

Has there been any updates on when/whether or not the ETF is approved? Or when that takes place if it's going to?

The following day, Burton forwarded a message to the secure email list from “a very good Google source” who claimed that Cohen “[was] off to Gaza next week”. Burton added, “Cohen, a Jew, is bound to get himself whacked….Google is not clear if Cohen is operating [with a] State Dept [or] WH [White House] license, or [is] a hippie activist.”

Winklevoss Bitcoin ETF will trade on the NASDAQOptions: Yes | No

Don't the majority of stocks (and ETFs) trade on the NASDAQ? Even if a stock primarily trades on an other exchange it will often (always?) trade on several other exchanges. I think the only exception to this rule are stocks that are not listed on the NYSE as I think the NYSE only trades stocks that are listed there, although ARCA (owned by the NYSE) trades stocks that are listed elsewhere.

Might be a regulatory challenge to list it anywhere but the NASDAQ for now.
