[carson45]

As a rookie, i am confused and overwhelmed with this terminology right now. I think it will take a very long time to understand all of them properly. Thanks a lot mate! Now it's my turn to payback with being a curious and enthusiastic member.

Thank you for compiling the terminology list for new members.  I'm familiar with most as I have been researching and investing in Bitcoin for awhile; however, I am continuously adding to my knowledge about the cryptocurrency environment and this list is very helpful.

This is a very good thread. Nice posts. Everything is covered it looks like. There is loads to learn. It's all in one place and very easy to read. Damn you typed a lot. Well done ! I also learned a few things here but some I have never heard before really.

Great information I have got now. I never knew such information exist in this forum.LOL

[Mike Mayor]

Very helpful and great source of info all in one place and it's not just for noobs. Noobs benefit most from it but it helps mid range members brush up too. Thanks for putting this together I can see this is s huge calaberation of effort went into this. There should be a way to reward people for this. Yes the trust system but that is for trust. They should really get rid f the trust system and change it to like a karma system. People focus on the bad far too much.

Good info for me. I have learnt many things. I was looking for some of these now I know them all and don't have to ask around.
Thank you for the great effort.

First of all, thank for the post, I really had no idea on how to go about this. Especially as the interface on blockchain.info changed into the new one.
Found it much easier to do after reading this thread.
Thanks!

I somehow just figured today what AFAIK meant.

BitCoin is amazing in all aspects.

Don't feel bad, I was out of college for at least two years before I realized that FTW wasn't 'F*** the What?'

Sometimes it just takes a while.

Maybe some trading terms as well?


ATH - all time high

BTFD - buy the f***ing dip

MM - market maker
