Are these dedicated to this forum, or are you used to using it like this?
Many of the abbreviations on the OP are/can be used in other social media chats and forums,abbs such as lol,ffs,brb,smh etcBut there are so many abbreviations that originated from the forum,and are 90 percent used only only the forum as they are peculiar to it,abbs such as hodl,fomo,whale,Ico,Op,Hq etc
Get yourself acquainted with most of the forum abbreviations,so you wouldn't be "lost" when others use them

HODL= Hold On for Dear Life
Uh, for newbies' sake, you should link this thread to the actual "roots" of the term HODL. <- Link to the historical thread "I AM HODLING" (Checkout the gained Merit of that post)It wasn't actually abbreviated before, just a typo that became a MEME and have been passed through the years.
Honestly, I didn't know where "Hold on for Dear Life" came from, I'm just altering the word hold as hodl (in all caps), just for aesthetics or fun.
Up for newcomers

Good catch

REKT = from wrecked, or completely destroyed
WHALE = Somebody with a lot of crypto, not necessarily though, a very rich person
SATS = short for Satoshis

most of them are not used on forum, it is easier to type them in google than to search through the forum or find the topic.
also, what do these people with all that time that they have when they use these shorteners?

This is mainly useful for non-native English speakers, as it is easy for native English speakers to understand these short abbreviations, which are all composed of the first big letters of the original words, but for non-native English speakers to understand accurately the meaning of these short abbreviations may need to know which words they are composed of.

Since you added the RSI (Relative Strength Index) then you can also add MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) which it is an indicator the same as RSI that is in your list. You add BTC (Bitcoin) as some might get fooled/tricked by the abbreviation of bitcointalk (BCT), BCT and BTC..
DYOR=Do Your Own Research
JOMO=Joy Of Missing Out
MCAP=Market Capitalization

tl;dr = too long; didn’t read.

I think there are 2 short forms which are popular but did not make it to original
Terminolgy thread, by yogi or this thread.
SMT => Spam Mega Thread.
SMAS blacklist => Signatute Manager against Spam blacklist
SMAS Blacklist is a good initiative by Lauda, lutpin and Yahoo. I guess if all of the Campaign Manager start making this list and sharing it our all spam problems will be solved.
