How could you not know one of the funniest of them 
I have known  DILDO since the old days of Etherdelta. Etherdelta seemed to be so prone to them due to the nature of their smart contract back then.


Not sure if these should be abbreviations or terminologies.
I think you should include AML - Anti Money Laundering next to KYC

1. ASK - Sell orders
2. BID - Buy orders
3. P/L(PnL) - Profit or Loss  (Profit and Loss)
4. TxID -  Transaction ID
5. SL (S/L) - Stop Loss
6. TP (T/P) - Take Profit

I am surprised you didn't include Technical indicator abbreviations like

1. MACD - Moving Average Convergence Divergence
2. RSI - Relative strength indicator
3. EMA - Exponential Moving Average

etc

Lol, I never know this abbreviation, is that the real means?  It seems irrelevant meaning.  Try to research in Google it has a bad meaning.

There's a lot of common abbreviations and also there are not uncommon.

Terminology . Please check.

As stated here, it seems that OP's forgot what abbreviation means because there are some on the list that are not abbreviations like Whale, Dump, Moon, Weak Hand, Shitcoin, REKT, Bear, Bag Holder, Altcoin, Bull, Long, Short, DILDO and Pump. To make it more sound correct, I would edit abbreviation into Lingo or something the realm so like Bitcoin Lingos because I feel that it is more broad and generalized. On a side note, this is a pretty helpful guide through the language culture of bitcoin community/trader community, never knew some of them until now, especially that DILDO one, pretty naughty one if I may say.

I think you also forgot thess terminologies related to trading, too;

- ROI -Return of Investment
-TA -Technical Analysis
-DES -Data Encrytion Standard

Well, there are some that I am not familiar with that good thing I've read it today.

Theres an old thread that have complete terminologies in different fields. You can check it out;

Exactly! Abbreviations is a shortened form of a word.
Most of these words are the kind of slang words used in crypto space/trading. And I don't think it's necessary to know all these abbreviations and slang as long as you're well knowledgeable on your investment and trading journey.
I doubt that "Dildo" phrase ain't really familiar from most of us, so that doesn't count as a common abbreviation/slang.
When you say Dildo the first thing that comes to my mind is the women's toys lol.

I'm not really aware of that abb. 

That's why I don't know about its existence and asked it on OP about it. Well, thanks to all of you guys, there's just another abb. that's added on my list too which we both agree the funniest of them all.

Same. I never saw that even with chat groups of traders.

Thanks, that's also new to my list.
I always thought it was just FOMO. Perhaps I am too basic or just old school. 
I may need to update myself with this just in case I will be talking to someone who mostly uses abbreviations.
