Bitcoin Forum

Some users here have unique names and I am curious to know reasons behind them.

I will start with mine, because you got to be the change you want to see in the world.

GTA 3 Liberty city was the first video game I played on PC. I was registering for Indian forum (ethicalhavoc to be precise), it asked me to setup username, my enlightened brain removed 'y' and choose username as 'libert', because liberty sounds like female name and I am male.

...and it has been my online alias ever since.

Then how come it's libert19? You might wonder.

I had account named 'libert' here but it got hacked in infamous bitcointalk hack and since it didn't have much activity I didn't bother to recover it and created new one. As I read some numerology, it said 1 and 9 numbers are good for me. So I settled with 'libert19'.

So what's story behind your username?

Similarly enough my username was also influenced by one of my favorite games.

In the Halo universe,

Sangheili (https://halo.fandom.com/wiki/Sangheili, https://aliens.fandom.com/wiki/Sangheili) are a part of the covenant, homeland Sanghelios and known to the Humans as "Elites".

They have classes among them too of which the military ranks are: (Source: https://halo.fandom.com/wiki/Sangheili)

Of which I took "Ultra" because of the toughness and the general pain in the rear during combat against them. In the games its the AI playing them but to encounter one in real life would be lethal.
 
And just to add a bit of uniqueness to the username I added "The" in front of it.

I pondered over Zealot a few times too but decided to stay with Ultra and used that in other sites too.

PS: Please dont confuse me with Ultra from Yolodice, who is a different user. I came to know about this from some older Primedice players.

well, i started my online earning life with "moneymaker09" later changed into short name ~Money~.Let me tell you the thoughts behind of my 1st user name, which I still use in many places.


Money stands for currency, maker - means me who loves to make money :D and 09 stands for 2009 .. stands year 2009 but now its flying ~Money~ cuz of crypto ;D

I came up with my username in the year 2008 when I completed 12th. That's when I heard that we can do freelancing jobs online and get paid for it, so I got my  broadband connection to my desktop and connected to the internet. I don't remember the site but it asked for a username, so I typed in my name which obviously didn't get accepted. It asked for a minimum 6 characters so I just typed  1st three letters of my name (Akh) followed by (job). Ever since then I have been using this name for almost anything online.

I already replied this in the main thread, but there is nothing special with my name, it is my real name and if i am able to change that i might do so, but then unless i say that is my name no one is going to figure that out too :D. While registering i did not think twice about having a alias name and hence i used my name.

May sound critical (or even a sob story) but I never thought I'd be discussing this truth here.
I had a friend, a best friend, actually a brother from another mother whose name was Sted. He always remained kind, stopped me whenever and wherever I was wrong and helped me a lot whenever I needed him. Then, one day, we encountered that he's got brain tumor. I was dead-shocked to a level I can't determine, but he was too much into living his life at its fullest that he taught me a lesson, never give up even if it's about you taking your last breath, you can even conquer death if you believe in yourself. These were his last words, after that, he went to Operation theatre and what came outside was the body without the soul of a great guy I always wanted in my life as a big bro forever. His name was lucky for me everywhere (I used to create accounts on his name to remember him forever in my mind and soul). But while registering here, I knew that anything that has an effect over everyone's life has three letters added ahead, like Nazism, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc. But I didn't want it longer and needed something unique, so I finally removed that "i" out of Stedism and made it Stedsm instead, short, unique and effective. I love to influence people's opinions and his name was the only thing I needed in my life to remember him and spread his "Stedsm" everywhere. I believe I've got this name seen and remembered at least once by most of the forum users here.

Well, my answer here would be most simplest one ;D ;D
Rather than settling onto some random user name, i preferred to use my real name.
Why did i did so: let's think someone tries to hack each account over here. He/she would never ever think to hack my account because it won't give him any benefits as it would always be with my real name.  :P :P (yep, i do believe this is the most silliest answer ever but yet, this is "Off-Topic" my friend ;D )

Edit: and perhaps also because my name indicates that I'm an Indian which fills my chest with proud.

Long before Amish Tripathi released his triology, I watched this fun the video "Amish Paradise"  (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOfZLb33uCg) around 2004-05.
Then went on to read about the Amish community in USA that live by the old ways and still refuse the conveniences of technology. I liked the concept enough and they have been a loved prefix ever since. Plus they rhymed nicely.

A lot of ppl tend to assume that I'm a Muslim given that my username starts with Allah, but it is not so.

I was born in Allahabad, the city which the Islamophobic govt of current day has renamed to Prayagraj. Allahabad meant the abode of Allah, but irrespective of whichever religion one belonged to, we loved to refer ourselves as Allahabadi (the residents of Allahabad). It is a distinct dialect and we love to act out. Hence I named my user account as such.

But funnily enuff it has drawn lot of Islamophobic and radical Islamic remarks to my account too, Islamophobic are the usual RW ones while a couple of Muslims from Indo-Malay once questioned me at to why I fashioned my username after Allah and no human shud use it as his name, but then I explained to them what it meant, after which they didn't question me again.

My name was suggested by a friend, but I am yet to play games using Crypto. I love betting and playing games, but crypto looks some different compared to normal games.

Just when I read the name Allahabadi I thought must be some Allahabadi guy until I found out here that you are actually an Allahabdi guy and named your account as such.  ;D I find it funny though (not about the name but that my guess was correct).

Now to answer the thread, I didn't put in much efforts in thinking a name since I keep changing my alias on the internet and this is just one of those random alias I use on this forum.
