I like it when it called as Bitcoin Forum as what we see above on our dashboard. If there is an option of "Bitcoin" + "Forum" = BTCF I will really prefer that one.

I will halt my vote for now and wait for more options base on members request, count mine too.

I like the btct option. BTC is the natural abbreviation and T from talk. But some people call it bitcoin forum, so, is a hard question, i will keep an eye n this poll to see what does people prefer and what's the right way to call it.

Personal I don't use any abbreviation for Bitcointalk. Bitcointalk isn't long or difficult word to type, so I think that abbreviation aren't really needed. And as said by users above, these acronyms can be easily confused with some shitcoins.  BCT sounds like name of coin and BTCT looks something like name of shitfork or something similar. BTT acronym is used most often probably, but it's mostly used by spammers ("my BTT account was banned, pls help" and similar
Two words, "Bitcoin" and "Talk" => BT
When I see BT abbreviation, first thing that comes to my mind is BT Sports TV channel, not Bitcointalk forum Cheesy

There are so many acronyms in life, and in the crypto sphere with new altcoins popping up all the time, and all the bitcoin forks and forks of forks...  Things get confusing.  I'm resigned to typing out the whole thing: bitcointalk.org.

Either BT as BitcoinTalk or BTCT - this one is self explanatory. BCT doesn't feel right and BTT makes very little sense although it is used here on the forum.

A lot of opinions have been read and shared and it seems to me that it’s hard coming up with a certain one. Just standardization would be easy, that’s just what I think. Like everyone would know what a KG is and what LB would be, just need to have a reference where it would be based upon. There could be a deciding factor on it, theymos then he will give  instructions or something but with the quote from @hacker1001101001 from theymos, you could use anything you want and then there would be inconsistencies throughout the forum. This is just focusing on small details, you know.

Currently the winning option is BCT. Let’s see in a couple of days too for additional input.



It's Bitcoin (BTC) + Talk (T) so BTCT is the only one that makes sense to me.
Keeping it consistent, just like the old thread. Nice.


To be honest I often type btctalk.org when talking about this place but I’m weird  Cheesy
That requires a lot of effort typing btctalk.org. It even has a period on it. Lol


It never made any sense to use this acronym either, it's just not the usual format for acronyms, BCT is the obvious choice since BTF never gets used (BitcoinTalk Forum)
It’s the first time of reading this kind of combination. BTF. Sounds like food but it’s a new entry.


~snip
This could at least put us all on the same page if enough members read this thread, which I hope they do--especially those bounty hunters who frequently refer to bitcointalk as BTT.  That drives me insane.

I'm not a fan of BTCT, though at least that one makes a bit more sense.  The only problem I have with it is that it's not any better than BCT, which has only 3 letters and is therefore more efficient. 
Yeah, putting everything the same and having an understood meaning or value equivalent to the name bitcointalk.

I think whether it’s three letter or four letters as long as everyone has understood and acknowledged the meaning, it will be efficient.



Two words, "Bitcoin" and "Talk" => BT
When I read BT, I think of BlueTooth. I don’t know. It just came to me.

Why not tracing back to the first topic of @satoshi, there:

Two words, "Bitcoin" and "Talk" => BT

Not BitCoin.

From what I've seen, "BTT" is only used by clueless bounty spammers. Real users refer to the site as BCT or just Bitcointalk if you're not too lazy to type Tongue
Me too, and it never even made any sense to me why they'd refer to the forum with those initials, since BCT makes much more sense.  Those initials are also what I usually saw as an abbreviation when I first joined the forum.

OP, it does seem like a small matter but I think it's definitely worth discussing at least--just like the discussion about what the units of bitcoin itself should be (bits, mbits, satoshi, etc.).  This could at least put us all on the same page if enough members read this thread, which I hope they do--especially those bounty hunters who frequently refer to bitcointalk as BTT.  That drives me insane.

I would say :

Bct =  Bitcointalk

Because the Forum was created about Bitcoin and to talk about it and Crypto related things !

Either you go for an initialism (pronounce each letter) to form the new word. Depends on your preference.

BiTcoinTalk - BTT
BitCoinTalk - BCT
BiTCoinTalk - BTCT

Any takes on this? And maybe there would be finalization and have standardization throughout the forum. Just my thoughts.


I think any from either BCT or BTCT seem reasonable to me, although BCT seem more logical, while BTCT promotes the BTC ticker more.

Totally agreed with you.

That is what we should name bitcointalk in abbreviation, BCT.
BitCoinTalk - BCT

Honestly, I have read some bounty topic, that mentioned about BTT, or even in telegram or Discord channels.
At that time, around more than one year ago, I did not know what it means, honestly.
As @LoyceV pointed out, it tend to be used as BTT by lazy scammers, who even don't care which kind of forum they join to spread their scam projects out.
One more thing, when abbreviation BCT use, we should use it as BCT forum to avoid misunderstanding with any kind of tokens, altcoins launched later. Real crypto enthusiasts will easily known what BCT forum means.

I don’t think I've ever abbreviate it, and it’s curious to see that google search results are topsy-turvy from my logic: My choice would be BTCT, since we already have BTC for Bitcoin. BTT seems the least logical option since the first T does not initiate a word.

Of course when you see the acronyms, they look like listed altcoins:

BTT: BitTorrent
BCT: BCoin Token
BTCT:  seems free for now …

There is none of an endorsed abbreviation for the Bitcointalk Forum officially.

Theymos too doesn't use any of those mostly as stated here.

You can use whatever you want...

I almost always call this site "the forum", "the Bitcoin Forum", or "bitcointalk.org" (spelled out completely). I very rarely call it just "BitcoinTalk," so any abbreviation of that name isn't natural to me. I don't see where people get BTT from, though.


Still, I would go with BitCoinTalk - BCT, which looks most logical way too me.

I would go with BTT, because bitcoin's abbreviation is BTC, for unknown reason you remove 'C', so BT and add T at the end for 'talk' word.

Lmfao @myself.
