Bitcoin Forum

I've noticed, at least on 90% of all threads I've been on, that bitcoiners tend to overuse a lot of buzzwords. Altcoiners Especially tend to use Innovation/Innovative for some reason as well  ::). The most used words and phrases I've seen are:

1) Innovative

2) Decentralized

3) Centralized

4) Innovation

5) To the Moon

6) Scam

7) FUD

8.) HODL

9) Satoshi

10) ASIC

11) Revolutionary

12) Blockchain

13) Skyrocket

14) Troll

15) Fiat

16) Pump and Dump

17) Whale

18) Goxxed

19) Ponzi

20) Anonymous

21) Bitcoin

22) Cryptocurrency

23) Premine

24) Dev

Proof of [whatever]

Moon

Volatility.

ROI

Goxxed

Lets not forget: Satoshi.....

 Shit Bitcoin Fanatics Say, Part 1        8) once again

what about HODL?

blockchain
consensus
hash
algo
asic
merkle

Revolutionary. And most altcoins use this word without anything to back it up.

to the moon ;D

"is dead."

 ;)

The coin will soon 'skyrocket'

 To daa Mars!

I can't believe that no one has said "fiat". That word is in every post of every thread. I hate it!

well this could work if it's called Circlecoin.

*ba dum tss*

Pump. Nobody write it lol.

Scam is one I have got to admit I do see a lot when reading articles and also threads on forums. Another I see a lot is invest or invested which is not listed above, come to think of it I tend to use the words invest or invested more often than I know I am doing :)

Disruption.

Many of these words are necessary for discussing bitcoin.

Especially to all the poor souls who got goxxed.

I will however concede that FUD is overused. Not everything is a case of simple FUD and we shouldn't discount everything as such.

ecosystem and the space are used much too often

 Troll
   ;)

ccmf
2.0
widespread adoption

I heard of a new revolutionary, innovative new blockchain idea, that turns cetralized money into decentralized Innovation that could litereally go to the moon, but only if the fudsters are wrong about this scam and Satoshi really hodls his coins that were mined without ASICs.

 lets all VOTE on the EXCHANGE and WTF                

Definitely.

Investment.

Appreciate.

$10,000.

Nobody's using "hodl" anymore...  ;D

Resilient and disruptive.  :)

I see the word 'bitcoin' being used an awful lot. Too much. Also, 'bitcoins' which is worse, and "BitCoin"  which is TheVeryWorst.

bitcoin is correct, depending where it is used, and ok in informal discussion even if misused. And bitcoins is the plural of bitcoin. You refer t certain ammount of coins as bitcoin/s, for example, I bought this stuff for 2 bitcoins / 0.3 bitcoin.



Also btc is very used, along with mBTC

I hate the name of every altcoin. Hell, I hate "altcoin" even.  :P

Haha!  ;D

You all are losing it - Silk Road by a mile! I couldn't believe I searched the page and it wasn't here yet?

Everyone here is wrong.  The most overused word in cryptocurrency is:  new

Recommended for y'all...

LOL.....haaaa ;D I would say：In your dreams. :D

I just changed my Thug Life motto to Bitcoin Life! Thank cryptography.

Fiat
Ponzi
Banksters
FUD
Altcoins

Decentralized
Cyprus
Phishing
Algorithms
Open Source
P2P
Vanity wallets
Argentina
MtGox

:D That's fantastic. Admittedly, I prefer the "cloud to butt" plugin. "Store all your precious family moments in the butt!" :D

Wasn't there some bitcoin buzz-phrase generator floating around a while ago? Found it: http://freedomfeens.com/bs/

For just a second, I wondered what a "butt to butt" plugin was. Just a second, until I remembered I too was using the "cloud to butt" plugin.

More words I see BTC related

goxxed
Silk Road (baring in mind a LOT of people first heard of BTC from SR)
fiat
and in troll boxes "SELL SELL SELL OMG"

- Millionaire (Bitcoin or otherwise)

4sure the most overused is: "to the moon"
:D

# community
# p2p
# unbanked

but yeah, my favorites are CENTRALIZED!!! and DECENTRALIZED!!!

... stupidized much ...

Byzantines general's 

Careful. If you rant about this, "haet thta shti" could become a thing.

Faucet

HODL

eCurrency

Alt (anything)

So we can all agree that we really need to think out of the box to come up with some new terminology, some good jargon. Let's start with the low hanging fruit and then socialize the favorites at a high-level. Because at the end of the day, language is everything, we don't want people to pump and dump this thing, we want people to embrace it in a symbiotic relationship. Ya dig? Ibid.

Pac Lives!

Dump, Whale, and Tinfoil all need to bee added to the list.

2011: ponzi

2012: Zhoutonged

2013: HODL

2014: goxxed


Don't forget about "Bit Coin" :D

Mining
Pool
Hashrate
Pump and Dump

Not a word per say but "Coming Economic Collapse."

Also Illuminati.

The ubiquity of these is why I don't refer my friends to this forum to learn about Bitcoin. 

I would say "sale" is quite common word when it comes to Bitcoin :)

where is buttcoin? ;D ;D
new trend ;D

'The next few weeks are critical'

Lets see
Digital , Anonymous, Pseudo Anonymous
Early Adopter, Goxxed , Fiat lol.

Crypto - digital currency.
I would prefer commodity as it sounds more like something you could touch, a digital commodity is like that but then in the electric world.

Nah, it is just another altcoin made for pump and dump. It is not even related to Bitcoin except the fact that it is cryptocurrency.

Proof of scam - this one goes to most of the altcoins that are generated on a daily basis. :)

Winklevoss brothers  :) :) :)

Shouldn't Bitcoin be added to this list? ;)

Someone should make one of those word cloud things and run it on some of the subforms here so we can truly see which words are over used. ;)

Too much talk about paper and brain wallets. More people probably messed up and lost their coins than people that managed to save them thanks to using a paper or brain wallet.

Definitely HODL. Why the hell is it spelt like that anyway? How did it start out. Is it the name of a character in a movie or something?

There's a thread in the speculation subforum where someone misspelled hold in the title and it caught on from there.

He-he I was wondering where that came from but I think it predates the forum somewhere else though or maybe it did originate from here interesting.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=375643.0

LOL. I think the OP should repost and lock the thread and the new thread should be stickied somewhere. It is more or less accurate.

"Don't invest more than you can afford to lose."

Decentralized
Chargebacks
distributed trust
FUD
peer-to-peer
banksters

To the moon!  <~~~ seems to have arrived with DOGE coin but either-way, it is really starting to shit me to tears...

I haven't seen any online communities where the illuminati conspiracy didn't turn up frequently.
I think the word "illuminati" only represents the skewed wealth distribution of our world, as in the 0.1% owns the majority of wealth and ultimately owns everything.

The "coming economic collapse" is not a myth though it's clearly in progress.

I think the standard ones that I hear and annoy me are 'ponzi' & 'bubble'.

DPR, Big brother, hack, gpu, hashrate, and the list goes on :D

You might have an intense gambling addiction :D

"Bitcoin milinaire" would be good addition. Or maybe "early adopted". Also '2009'.

I choose
decentralized
scam
FUD
Hold
to the moon

decentralized is with difference the most abused word in the bitcoin texts

Bitcoin Space (or is that covered with To the Moon?)

" provably fair "   :D

Evan

Then there are names such as Craptsy instead of Cryptsy.

*Note: I can make fun of them since I use them constantly.

Forgetting the main word.

Bitcoin.

On a serious note though, there are always going to be a set of buzzwords/keywords that are consistently used when people choose to talk about anything - literally everything has it's own niche set of words associated with it.

Bitcoin is a scam, I always hear that from my parents. :(

scam or scam, I think should be cautious after everything that happened 8) 8)

Then they were watching to much Fox News
Or some bad media outlet ^_^
Change the medium

Yeah all of these words are very common when talking about bitcoin but I don't know if 1-20 ranking is correct  ;D Personally for me is Hodl and satoshi.

FIFY

The bottom 5 of this list pretty much sums it up. These five words more or less will appear in every thread on this forum that has at least two pages worth of replies.

Would have never thought "bitcoin" would be on that list of most overused words in bitcoins history. Amazing...

Lol, seemed only fair to add it.

"PRE-MINE"     :D     LOLLLL

To the Moon
Skyrocket
Satoshi, specially i will never forget 8) 8)

How do you overuse a noun / name like bitcoin or satoshi?  I mean, if you're referring to them, you gotta call them by the name.  Now if you're talking about most commonly used words...

Bitcoin is a pump and dump decentralized premined ponzi scheme.

Lol at #5, #15 is defiantly true though.

"EPIC"     ;D   

It's taken me months to stop trying to pronounce that like "probably." It's right next to the "b" button - used to assume it was a typo. :D

"HOLD"  ;D ;D

Well, the first thing I can describe bitcoin is its "anonymity" .. So yes its anonymity.

Dead cat bounce.

It is in all comments of the fallllllling troll guy

SCAM - ever since, btc has been connected to this word.

scam and fud from the top of my head, but also decentralized has a good run

Probably every bitcoin user have said to the moon at least once :P so i would go for "to the moon" ;D

"Killer app" and "disruptive" are two terms that are thrown around pretty consistently amongst articles and posts when talking about BTC

The most overused word in "BITCOIN" history........

INFANCY


If something goes wrong with the coin or its chain, it is because in its infancy.
If things are going well its ok but the coin is still in its infancy.
If its value increases, it is doing very well but work still needs done because the coin is still in its infancy.
If it bottoms out, dont worry this coin is still in its infancy.

I think even after all 21 million coins are mined this coin is still going to be in its infancy HAHAHA

Awesome. Are these words say extracted from the likes of bitcointalk and r/bitcoin or are they observations ?

I would love to make a graphic from the actual weighted list.

Observations from Bitcointalk.

I probably see at least one of these words every day. Heck, probably all of them, if you spend lots of time on these forums like me

An Anonymous Dev created Bitcoin, we call him Satoshi, he did not create a Ponzi scheme, it is Innovative, the Decentralized nature of bitcoin is vastly superior to the Centralized fiat systems, it is not a scam, the Troll says that its a Whale's Pump and Dump even if he knows the Blockchain is Revolutionary, you must HODL despite the FUD, it will soon Skyrocket, unlike the other Premine Cryptocurrencies.

 ;D

GOtta be the fucking ponzi thing, god.

Newbie.

Well that applies to any internet forum not just this one.

Gotta admit seeing words like HODL and goxxed made me smile. I wonder if any words created here will ever enter the dictionary?  ;D

max keiser

lol.. Here's mine.. Anonymity.. If you ask someone here to name 3 reasons why they love bitcoin is "anonymity" lol

ironically, I always hear Paypal and Facebook here.
