About That Orange B… The History of Bitcoin’s Logos

boss

Can a logo symbolize the ethos of a project? An industry? An entire movement?

Belonging to no corporation, no in-house graphic design team at a shiny Silicon Valley startup, bitcoin’s logo has given the faceless project’s many adherents an image to hold on to. And not only to hold on to – but to emblazon on shirts, stick to laptops and stamp on physical…

boss

Bitcoin May Fall Further Bitcoin (BTC) has just seen its craziest hour of price action since the weekend, during which the cryptocurrency market rallied by 20%, if not more. For those who missed the memo, or haven’t checked the charts or Crypto Twitter in a hot second, Bitcoin collapsed by over 15% in minutes on major markets, falling from $7,800 to $6,200.
