Bitcoin Forum

This post just for fun, I am quite curious about "how did  you chosen bitcointalk username at the beginning of registrations? And why?"

For me I will share why I have chosen "Coolcryptovator" username for bitcointalk. Since I believe this forum is like a crypto academy so I wondered to create some username with crypto related. Then "Cryptovator" were came on my mind, but unfortunately this username has been taken by someone else. I could add some number with it (like 123) but it was quite annoying to me with username. So I  want to add something with "Cryptovator" except numerical. So I add "Cool" with it, because often I use this word on real life and online chat. It was become my habit to use "Cool" word everywhere. And that's how I have chosen my username "Coolcryptovator".

There is few interesting name on this forum. Sometimes I have been thinking how and why he chosen that username.

Wondering what about your username? "Don't Lie"

This post is just for fun and just my curiosity. Don't share if something private with your username.  Only share if it doesn't hit your privacy.  

Back on High school I was a gamer and fond of palying CABAL ONLINE, and from that I came up with an In-Game name of cabalism, it was just that at first then later comes cabalism7, I really don't know where did that number came from instead on my first alias madruine7, then followed by cabalism13 in which the 13 is my Bitrthdate.

I've been using this name for a long time, its kinda unique. Although some users mistakenly pronounce it as CANNIBALISM LoL.

I'm interested on knowing the reasons of theymos, yahoo62278, yogg, suchmoon, Vod, and Ognasty.

When I started getting interested in Bitcoin, I wanted to improve my privacy. So I used a random name generator to create "Loyce Valenzuela", only to find out much later "Loyce" is a female name.
But it grew on me, first because "Valenzuela" rolls nicely off the tongue, and now because "everyone" knows me as LoyceV.

Wanted something bleak yet fighty. Ended up sounding ghey and vehicular - don't care about cars, #nohomo.

-BlindMayorBitcorn once shared that his name was just following the 3-word model of DreadPirateRoberts, both are great names
-have always been insanely jealous of the nym 'suchmoon', soo zeitgeisty I can't bear it
-jojo is a man

Interesting topic.  I'm not sure when I first heard the phrases 'pearls before swine' but it was more than 20 years ago, because I had used it in casual conversation once that I remember back in 1999 or so.  It comes from the bible, tho I'm almost certain that's not how I came across it. 

The meaning of it is basically that you shouldn't waste your talents on people who are incapable of appreciating them, so one should not cast pearls (valuable things) before swine (idiots).  I have always had a liking for the phrase, so that's why I chose it as my username.

Thank you for sharing that.  I've seen many of your posts around and I *have* wondered what your username meant. 

Logfiles was just some random name that came up as i was registering  :D

Hahaha Not gonna lie, i always think of cannibalism whenever i see your name  ;D

Can i get a chance from @theymos to change my username with my game nickname, I don't have 50 BTC to change the name xD.

This username is my name at the internet but still contains my real name. Went i register to the forum i don't know the username will be my nickname forum, I thought we can set up a name forum at the profile.

You can if you have very convincing reasons. Without 50 BTC, you still can ask for change on your username. You know what? I knew that there is one user who get acceptance from admin to change his/ her username. More shockingly, that is a woke up user. Nevertheless, he/she has convincing reasons, because of the original username is highly correlated with his/her real names that used on other platforms. After years of inactive, he/she came back and ask for username change and privacy protection. Less than 24 hours or 2 days in maximum, that account username changed to a random one with randomly chosen letters and figures.

I only remembered about that user but I don't know which is that one because I did not bookmark it.

My biggest passion & hobby is Liverpool Football Club so with a total lack of imagination when I signed up in 2014 I just put LFC (as an abbreviation of the above) & Bitcoin together. It had to be something I’d remember so there we go, simple yet effective :D

I also used a random name generator and got the name TryHard, which was already in use in some of the websites I was registering at, so my friend told me to try "TryNinja" instead, since it has something to do (Try The Ninja) with a game we played at the time. :D

There are also some variations of that name I use on some other websites.

OK, I'm going to lose all my credibility with this message. Anyway.
I didn't have a nickname dedicated to Bitcoin/cryptos and at the time of my inscription here, I didn't get any inspiration.
Halab is half of one of my nicknames I used during my MMO period.
My full nickname is Halab Hagar, which is a "wordplay" that in french gives "A la bagarre", which could be translated as "In the fight".
Halab Hagar didn't suit to the atmosphere of this forum, so I only chose Halab.

I just used my real name to register. My name is Umer Idrees so i just combine the both words and registered like a good boy.
The reason behind using the real name was that if there is ever KYC here, it will be easy for me to pass it.  :)

Back then I didn't really think seriously on the name. I clearly didn't imagine I'll still have same account on the same forum after more than 5 years. Now I'd clearly pick something which at least is not subject to copyright  ::)
NeuroticFish is the name of a band. A band from which I like the music (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqaDtCSPFyg) and also its name.

At the time of my registration here, i was totally new to bitcoin and crypto. For me Bitcoin was a great thing, it is still great for me though. I was too much excited and enthusiastic about bitcoins, and the name which i choose was from that love and inspiration from bitcoins.

I registered in the forum long back when i got involved in BTCitcoin but was not able to remember the password and never posted anything as far as i remember and i just removed the R and ended up using eaLiTy when i registered again because new projects were posting the contents here and hence i thought it was time to register again in this forum and after that i am here :).

Assman and tittyman were already taken - so went with T(itty)Man instead

I've been using DireWolf for a long time, but I took a break from it when a friend of mine coined another for me.  Since DireWolf is often taken, I added the "M14" to make it unique.

DireWolf comes from one of my favorite songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1-ieYykDzY
The M14 is my favorite rifle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M14_rifle

Plagiarism detected  ;D (just kidding)

There is nothing special with my username  :-[. "Khaled" It is my last name and as it was already taken, I added the date of my birth 01/11

I started mining with GPUs at the end of 2013 when Bitcoin already had ASICs so the stuff I could mine profitably was mainly some Scrypt altcoins including Doge.

https://i.imgflip.com/3fkw7v.jpg (https://i.imgflip.com/3fkw7v.jpg)

My user name is nothing special either and glad to see that some used their real names as the user name, i have used my real name and while registering i was not thinking much and if i had the opportunity again i would have changed that.

My username is my real name. I always write my name as A.k. Amit unless there is a need to write it in full.

But I really didn't want to have this username here when I signed up in this forum on my first visit on 24th Feb 2016. I actually didn't know at that time that I can have my username in TitleCase or UPPERCASE or something like Bitcoin World (with space) or in a fancy way. I thought that it should be in lowercase with no spaces and special characters, the same as elsewhere in most sites at that time and it was very common.

Since this is for fun only, I wonder why it isnt int the offtopic board?
Anyways my name diced90 was actually the common password I used for many gambling portals. I have changed my password a long time ago so you need not try to hack me. Besides no one knows my email haha.

Interesting question. When I joined Bitcointalk, I was struggling to choose my username. I wanted to have cool username which would be easy to remember. But I didn't wanted to use my nickname which I use on other forums, because I wanted some privacy and I wanted to separate my crypto activities from my other hobbies.
I decided to use "LTU", what is abbrevation of my country Lithuania. I wanted to show that there is some crypto enthusiasts from my country. And then I just added "btc" to my nickname. But some people here call me just LTU. I don't use this username anywhere else, except few other crypto forums.
But if I would sign up on Bitcointalk now, I'm not sure that I would pick same nickname.

"Leo" from "Leopold von Sacher-Masoch", whom Masochism is named after. The preceeding "O" and "E" are the sounds I make whilst participant in said masochism in Foxpup's dungeon. The palindrone effect just rounds it all off nicely.

Or maybe it's because my real name is Leo (or is it?), and I just wanted to cause maximum annoyance to anyone who has to type my name out by hand.

CryptopreneurBrainboss: I'm popular know as brainboss among my peer then after my involvement in bitcoin back in 2015 after I started advocating for my peers to invest in the technology, I got referred to as a Cryptopreneur. Since most of those which I introduced were my friends and they already know me as Brainboss the name CryptopreneurBrainboss was then introduced when we're discussing issues relating to cryptocurrency but on a normal day, I still get referred to as Brainboss.

Fast forward to 2017, when I got to know about the forum after I picked interest in increasing my knowledge on the technology plus earning additional income that doesn't involve me investing personal funds, I decide to go with the username CryptopreneurBrainboss since I was already used to been referred to by that nickname when I'm associating with fellow like-minded cryptocurrency enthusiast (discussing cryptocurrency).

Mobile Legends player maybe know where i get my username  ;D
https://i.postimg.cc/vDM3JchX/08-10-33-images.jpg
I'm not good or pro in Mobile Legends but, only terizla i can play it  :)

I know this.

The recovery team did this, but they change a name with a random name. Since he will not use the account anymore, the recovery team accept his request to change the username and locked the account.

Yeah, who do you think you're fooling with that masochism story? You're a sadist and I love it. :-*

As for me...

Actually the truth is far less profound. I've been using this name online ever since "being online" meant racking up a huge phone bill with a 56k modem. The fact that I can speak of such things demonstrates that I am obviously no longer a pup, but names are sticky.

my ebay name is philipma1957

i had a good rep on ebay so carried the name

to macrumors
to anandtech
to bitcointalk.


I would love ❤️ change the name, but I won’t.

the acro in my username is a root word and is incorporated in a large variety of words(link for reference (https://wordpandit.com/acro-root-word/)) and what I like about it
is, the word acro itself means is pointed, first or high, or something like that. I've been using this username for 11 years now. I first
used it on a game called cabal(yes, the cabal mentioned by cabalism).

I will make it short :D.

Choosing username to use in any website that I registered on is very hard to be honest as a gamer. It took me around 1-2 hours to think of my IGN in different games I played.

The first part is just useless :D. How did I choose my username. The Brand of the Mouse I'm using right now :D

I was working on a script (coding/python) for a client at the time. One of the comments on the script had the word initiate in it, and since I was work on a script, hence the name Initscri was born.

Really means nothing more than that.

First part of my username is similar to my real name and also have interesting meaning in Hebrew language 😁
91 is connected with 1991 very important year in my life and life changing experience I had.

My life is familiar with the words of YOSHIE, my country used to be invaded by Japan, a lot of where I live, of Japanese descent, some live in Indonesia, Singapore and some return to Japan.

YOSHIE, a name in my family, means: (beautiful river), comes from the name of my grandmother, who came from Japan, and now died a long time ago, Honestly.

When I was in the Bitcointalk Forum, I saw in the Forum too many animal names, the universe etc, lying.

Then it crossed my mind why I, not only gave my surname here that had been lost to commemorate him, what else the bitcointalk forum was created by Japanese.
which also lives the name that can be perpetuated, the person also disappears do not know where.

So the name Yoshie was born. Which is remembered and perpetuated by his grandson.
It seems, I am too honest. Lol

;)

I used to be a WarRock player ^{[an online FPS game, played one of its local versions]}, top 3 ^{[not in terms of skills, only my rank]} to be exact ^{[late 2007 to 2010ish]} and this was my name back then ^{[taken from my whole name]}.

For me is a nickname I use on a game I played long time ago (LineageII) and I also used it on here just because it was available, I really didn't thought about it very much back in the days. At the origins: I took my name and englished it a bit to fit better in the online space where the predominant language is English.

I put zero effort or thought into mine. I typed the first thing that occurred to me. At least I don't use it anywhere else.

If I'd known what a fixture I'd become I would've preferred to have spent some time thinking it over. Perhaps PinkPanties or Big Glenda.

My name on the forum is inspired by a true Roman soldier, centurion Lucius Vorenus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorenus_and_Pullo) who was a member of the famous XI Legion (Legio undecima Claudia) formed by Julius Caesar to invade Gallia in 58 BC. He became known for his courage along with his friend Titus Pullo, and it was mentioned in Julius Caesar Commentāriī dē Bellō Gallicō.

Based on these events, a series called Rome (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0384766/) was filmed and it was one of the most-watched series with very high ratings (8.7 from 10).

I think mine is self explanatory?  ;)  It was ultimately the first thing that came to my head when I signed up and revolved around what I was doing.. mining.

I'd also like to take this time to speculate that theymos picked his name because he likes the months with Y in it! (January, February, July, May). The Y Months(mos). Maybe he just likes winter, summer, and spring?  ;D   Ya know, Bitcoin was released in January!.. fiscal year begins in July... it all makes sense. lol  8)

I made a thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5187955.msg52569411#msg52569411) on this but it didn't get much traction.

I’m editing the last post and making a thread for it.
My name is a combination of Bitcoin and lightning. I’m getting to learn about lightening and how it works, and I thought a combo of both the bitcoin and lightning in a name would be a blast.

:)

Before posting you can read what the OP is telling and then respond accordingly  :P.
My user name is a meme that is well known in my native, sashi can be defined as When a Mallu ends up being the loser in a situation, he describes himself as Sasi and Rajavu means king. One of my friend advised me to invest in bitcoin back in 2012 but that time i did not take that seriously as i was busy with other things and when i saw that the market got traction i understood i lost the opportunity to invest when the price was really low and hence i came up with the username :D.

I really enjoyed reading on their explanation about choosing a username upon registration.
Thinking a good username is hard to think, IMO and it took an hour for me to think.
Okay, I will share mine here too.

From my 2 lovely sisters, because I'm the youngest sibling among them all- they love me and care with me.
From the end of their names have sheen and shane, I've got this combination username of their names just because it is symbolized for me in a return for their love and care to me.

Thank you, OP.

The username that i chose its just my game online nickname. Nothing really special tho.
But, at least if someone that know me from the game that i played, they will know if its me.

WTF!!! (WELL, THAT'S FABULOUS!)
LoL.

I didn't know I carried a whole year on bitcointalk with a lie. I really thought your username was o_e_I_e_o ("i" on the middle), I thought you just liked vowels LoL. the heck is that format of "Leo", it really make me a fool for looking it like that.

I really laughed a lot while reading the topic. And there is a mystery of laughing behind my username too.
Sujon is my name and I have added some numbers to it so that it means my name and the name of a special person. ;D ;D ;D :) :)

Frankly, when I joined here I had no knowledge of crypto, even about this site. I chose a name without thinking about anything. Since it is not possible to change the username, I could not change the name later.

Sometimes your name really spells like one when I glance at it! :D

And I missed those onerous glorious MMO days. Grinding used to be a chore but chatting with other players was fun.

I can't believe I found this thread, which was long dead.

But it was really for fun, and I'd be glad to share how I chose my username. First, when I learned about the forum, I was confused about which username to choose, so I just left, not wanting to be in a rush. After that day, I was just going through countless usernames in my mind, but none were interesting to me. After remembering the Avengers movie name "Dr. Strange," I took interest in the name Dr. Bitcoin Strange." I can't tell why I chose that name, but I guess it was just cool to me and because I love Bitcoin as well.

Guys, let's keep this fun. Going 😜

Mr.Strange 👺

Everyone in this forum wants to keep himself completely hidden while maintaining his privacy.  So it's a common thing that no one wants to use their real name and because of that choosing a name becomes a lot of thought. I follow everything around me first and then no one has a short name that I like very much.  And add something crypto related to it to create a custom name and use it. like My country has a currency system of coins as well as paper money. And when I registered this account I had many coins and I named my account Coin.  But since coin is not my own name it is the name of a currency system so I add erer to it and create a name of my own as coinerer  :D

When I first registered here back in 2020 I did not take my username seriously or thought too much about it, so I simple went with a variation of a name that some friends have used to refer to me before. A silly variation.

I also wanted to have a username which could be short and without numbers in it.
After creating this account I realized it was a good idea to go with a short name, since it makes it easier to recall, in my opinion.  :)

Depend on personal or individual when choosing their Bitcointalk username, some of people used their real names and adopted it in Bitcointalk name after seeing several user here have familiar, but some user not use their real name for Bitcointalk account. I used my real name but include number because have available or created by some one else with my real name, possibility in Bitcointalk forum have the other person having the same real name with me.

Seems under 40% of user Bitcointalk account use their real name here, we can see many user put the name of color, street names based on several user from my country.

When I wanted to signed up I had difficulty in picking up a name since I was looking for a username that's unrelated to my real name to give me complete anonymity. Finally, I settled for sokani which simply means joy. I got the name from a movie I watched "the hate you give". The major cast is Starr who has two other brothers, seven and sokani. Sokani is last child, he's always happy, playful and putting smiles on people's faces around him. Actually, I picked the name because I think we have somuch in common.

You could be accused of necroposting since you brought up a post from 2019. I was surprised when I saw this topic since several more similar ones were created after it, and it's rather strange that you were interested in this one.
But our people are indifferent, they don't care when it was created, as you can see, there are its successors. Including me. ;D

LOL, I hope I don't get sued 😎. People on the forum are not much concerned about fun threads anymore; it seems they are more concerned about accumulating bitcoin and preparing for another Bitcoin ATH because the last pump was massive. I came across this thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5132720.0), which is about 97 pages now and was created in 2019.

@ The Cryptovator was the first with the initiative of this idea, but I wonder why it just got abandoned.




Sincerely, I must say, I really admire your username, @lovesmayfamilis 🤠, which is so personal, like it was an account supposed to be continued by your children after you. Cygan's thread is locked, according to the other threads you mentioned and the rest are also becoming dead.


That's it😲😜,  I just wanted to be the strange person when I hit the forum, but I noticed that there were more strange men than myself, so I just had to stay calm.

I watch a lot of Korean fantasy dramas. That's where I got the idea for my username. The name "DYING S0UL" evokes a sense of mystery and darkness, which are common themes in Korean dramas. Sometimes I think of myself as a fictional character who possesses extraordinary abilities or faces the challenges of their destiny.

Sometimes I want to be somebody else rather than myself, that's why I choose my username so that I can enjoy the essence of the fantasy worlds while also creating an intriguing and memorable online identity.

Overall, I think "DYING S0UL" is really a cool username.

A dying soul? What is fantastic and secret about this name? A dying soul has no extraordinary abilities. She dies, that is, disappears. Forever. What's so mysterious about that? Death is death. By the way, not all Korean dramas have what you're talking about.

I have been practicing Aikido (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aikido), a Japanese martial art, for several years now. The term Aikido refers to the martial art itself, and the suffix ka(家, -ka) indicates that someone practices it. This is how I came up with my forum username.

As an Aikidoka, I have received training in Aikido's principles, techniques, and philosophy, and my level of skill and expertise in the martial art is recognized. Aikido plays a significant role in my life as it helps me relax and utilize my inner body energy, making me feel better both inside and outside of the gym. I am thankful that the username was available for me to use when I signed up for the forum.
