Bitcoin Forum

To understand the subject of crypto as whole and in particular Bitcoin it is necessary to understand its terminology and learn to use it properly to not  confuse  your counterparts. Here I would like to share my collection of references to   crypto dictionaries,  thesaurus and glossaries  I use when reading articles and books devoted to cryptocurrency. Using the terms  explained over there allows my communication with  collegues go smoothly.

OP gratitude for this work, some normally used word might mean something different in crypto-world and some terms here might have never been heard by an average bob, Newbies would be smart to grab this knowledge not only for Newbies, one or two can be gotten even by experts from this thread.
In between there should be more things about wallet on the list, understanding wallets can confuse -Newbies- and if terminologies or meaning of some vital things about wallet can be added.

yogi and Terminology (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=126798.0).

He was last active in the forum in 2018 and that topic was last updated in 2015. There are many new crypto vocabularies since 2015.

I want to read these massive lists sometimes because I think right now I already missed some important terminology that currently used in the crypto world. Especially those on the Defi platform. Thanks for compiling this massive list for us hope you will give us more such as these kinds of helpful thread in the future. +1 for you OP  ;D

op big thank you to you, this will help  me to get familiar with some terms used here and beyond.Taking your time to compile this for us on the forum. For me it's a Job well done. Deeply impressed for this wonderful content.

Bookmarked this thread. I definitely need to understand all aspects of this technology. Thanks! (I would have sent merit but unfortunately I am yet to earn them, I guess!)

Thank you for this OP, this is really a good idea so that people who are not that knowledgeable on some crypto-related terms will become more enlightened about it. Most of the newbies don't really have an idea when they heard hodling, halving, such as like that and it do really need some research and seeking information to fully understand some terms. There's something more that we need to know by reading most of the links in this thread and we should visit those and read some so that we can benefit this post. Again, thank you OP for spending some time compiling these links.

Thanks for your hearty words. BTW, you know the terms described by dictionaries and thesauruses listed in OP may be very helpful for solving specialized crossword devoted to cryptocurrencies. I have created mine and placed them into the related  thread. The last of my crosswords (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5328390.msg56818647#msg56818647) is still not solved, so I would welcome any bold user  who were tried to  find the solution.

Hi Op jusy saw this index and thus is really good. Thumbs up for creating this surely newbies can be fond to check out the link attached to different crypto terms. There are lots of terms being used now since defi hit the cryptomarket. Are you continue to update this one or add more references?

---

It take times to find and arrange this kind of post so Ive given you merit for the effort. Continue to add more in the future.

This post is very encouraging, more especially to newbies, when i come across of this I'm very excited because the arrangements of the post and link is very amazing because all the terms or terminologies of cryptocurrency is been listed and the beginner who are desperate to learn about cryptocurrency intonations, languages wil grab the stuff with easy way without much stress, op i really applaud you for your research towards the development of bitcointalk community user's because this is a problem solution.

Thanks, I did my best to deliver to community the best index. The last one added today  is number [38] which alphabetically lists the most sophisticated topics related to bitcoin including those relevant to the latest BIPs.  From my standpoint  all those topics would give any bitcoiner  eyeteeth for the most recent developments in the area of bitcoin tech.

thank you OP. it helps me a lot as a beginner here.

You made a useful great list op and i didn't think that do exist all those linguistic docs. My great wish is to have a similar list in every language because non-native english speackers won't find it easy to get familiar with all those technical terms.
I don't know if it's legit to translate some/all of those articles and publish them to public, this will surely help people a lot getting into crypto without the need to learn a new language or wait for a help-hand. We have a topic in my local boards listing the frequently used concepts with a brief description but it's far to contain all the vocabularies as in the articles you mentioned .

Great work. Thank you soliton

Thank you so much for your hard work to create this thread. It is very useful for me who is a newbie who is just learning and entering the world of crypto. I appreciate your hard work in compiling the above thread. I will learn it step by step so that I will more understand.
