Might as well drop BTT as an acronym all together, since it now refers to a shittoken on a shitcoin blockchain. Best not to confused the two imo, not that it was ever really used.
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)

To be honest I often type btctalk.org when talking about this place but I’m weird  Cheesy

Out of the 3 options in the poll I prefer BCT.

It's Bitcoin (BTC) + Talk (T) so BTCT is the only one that makes sense to me.

Because it is? But not sure if it's a legitimate one. Lol. https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bct-coin/
What is legitimate in unregulated crypto world? Smiley

Great question mate, I also curious this kind of abbreviation here in our forum. How can we say it is legit when we ain't controlled by any regulation or law in the first place? We are decentralized.

BTT is the one I used. When I came here users are already talking about BTT(maybe old users BCT). But isn't bad if we mention the complete name. Bitcointalk.org

BCT feels like some altcoin ticker symbol. I would go with BTCT  Cheesy
This is forum, not any coin. So it shouldn't compare with coin name or symbol. Also never mind if symbols match with any coin name or symbol. Because mostly this shortcut we use on forum inside. So most of people's will know what are you want to mean.

I voted for BCT. This is appropriate in my opinion. But for me I always type Bitcointalk.

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
Maybe that's the real reason why Google Search shows a lot of counts 20K results. When I know I'm going to type BCT or BTCT; I would prefer to complete it. That's if I'm on a keyboard, not in mobile. I love how it feels to type, especially in mechanical keyboards.

I know this just a little thing to consider, and I usually notice small details, and I have read multiple times where people refer to this forum as BTT, BCT, BTCT, etc., probably you have read them too, and I think we need to have a standard.

After almost four years since mmmaybe posted this topic, I think there is still no official abbreviation or acronym to describe Bitcointalk. Or not that I know of. The close one is this below (from the previous thread by Lorenzo)

Because the forum is HTTPS, you will not receive any referrer info from clicks! If you want to track forum clicks, put something like "?bct" at the end of your URL, and look for that in your access logs.



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

BiTcoinTalk - BTT
BitCoinTalk - BCT
BiTCoinTalk - BTCT



Some data I collected also referencing from the previous thread







- BCT has the most results but ever since the previous thread, BTT was only around 7780 and now it's 20200. Considerably a lot higher. My guess that it has been used in the Altcoins Section because of the BTT coin. Not necessarily the forum name. 



We all know we want to keep things short, so maybe cast your vote on which is the best for you and what you have used over the past. I personally like using BTCT (it makes sense Bitcoin+Talk) instead of BTT and BCT. Based on my research, BCT is still the number one used.

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