AKA   = Also known as
FWIW = For what it's Worth
IOW = In other Words
MMW = Mark my Words

Thanks for suggest.  Your given abbreviations has been added on my list. It's better to make in one list.



Oh, in was unable to find. By the way, it look totally different post and formats. I never copied from his post. Anyway thanks for remind. I just try to list thoes are used mostly.
Added.


Added

I'm afraid it was already created as Terminolgy (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=126798.0) thread, by yogi (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=42027) :P

BTW good work OP.

You forgot something OP(Original Poster) ;D , maybe add this abbreviation on your list :
FYI = For Your Information
HODL = Hold On for Dear Life

SCAM - Sigger Chasing After Merits

I think there are 2 short forms which are popular but did not make it to original
 Terminolgy (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=126798.0) thread, by yogi (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=42027)  or this thread.

SMT => Spam Mega Thread.
SMAS blacklist => Signatute Manager against Spam blacklist

SMAS Blacklist (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1545652.0) 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.

tl;dr = too long; didn’t read.

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

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.

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?  ;D

I've also seen (and I actually had to look for the meaning) :):
LMAO: Laughing My Ass Off
YOLO: You Only Live Once

Nice compilation!!!!

A few very well known ones I haven't seen anybody mention here. Though some of them are acronyms but still commonly used in forums.

BTFD = Buy the fucking dip

REKT = from wrecked, or completely destroyed

WHALE = Somebody with a lot of crypto, not necessarily though, a very rich person

SATS = short for Satoshis

By the way, there is a little typo in the very first word - Defination  8)

Good catch  ;), corrected.

I think to my own best knowledge, the most popular and most used one's are:


Fear of Uncertainty and Doubt
DYOR  Do Your Own Research
TA   Technical Analysis
ICO  Initial Coin Offering
MEW  MyEtherWallet
TS  Total Supply
BTT  BitcoinTalk
TC  Total Circulation
FOMO Fear of Missing Out

Uh, for newbies' sake, you should link this thread to the actual "roots" of the term HODL (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=375643.0). <- 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.

-bump-

Are these dedicated to this forum, or are you used to using it like this?

Dont forget our ANN = Announcements.

When I was new, I always wondered what the hell ANN was.

Perhaps add some explanation or brief information about these technical terms? or add URL that redirect the word to it's definition.

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 etc
But 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

Don't forget the forum specific ones

VOM - Vulpine Order of Merit
TEMP - Thousand Earned Merit Poster

Temp= Temporary
ROFL = Roll On The Floor Laugh
I found some people here in the forum that includea P.S. after their statement or post.
P.S. = Post Script which means written after
E.g. = exampli gratia or example given in english.
Etc = etcetera which means "and other things" in english.
ATM = At The Moment, At The Most and Automated Teller Machine (cash machine)
ETA = Estimated Time of Arrival
ASAP = As Soon As Possible

I would like to post this thread to my daily news on our local board, to make my fellow countrymen aware of what words are behind those Abbreviations. there are still many abbreviations we don't know, I would like to help them with this thread.
