Hello Bitcoin Forum,

after hours of reading the Forum, i´m still not grasping all of this bitcoin-terminology and phrases and abbreviations. I looked for a sticky post at various places in the forum but couldn´t find one. Does such thing exist here?

Just use Search, it will probably find what you need.

I haven't seen a page with it, but if you ask, people will help. :-)

@NASA BTC equal Bitcoin or BTC because it's the more important terminology you gonna see here.

For starters, maybe you could list some terms that you do not understand?

Maybe you already understand them now, but it sure helps to post a few terms. I'll contribute some and add definitions later. We can make a sticky.
