BCT vs BTT abbreviation for this forum

[hugeblack]

I think that BTT seems more attractive than BCT, and perhaps because the majority uses the Bitcoin abbreviation as BTC instead of BC, and therefore the forum abbreviation is BTCT, or a better abbreviation, BTT.

When, I was new to the forum, I always saw higer rank members using BTT as a short name for the forum. I started following the same practice and have not stopped using it. This is the first time that I am seeing BCT.

Never did I thought that there can be two abbreviation for the same name. I am comfortable in using BTT and shall continue using it for the time being. It is not possible to change the habit after being here everyday for the past 5 years now. By the way, I did vote in favour of BTT

BC is on one of Bitcoin logos.

Bitcoin logo (meaning and history).

Old users use BCT. Newer users use BTT. I tend to ignore those

Evidence for my theory: check older polls:
Is the proper abbreviation for the forum 'BTT' or 'BCT'? [UPDATED With POLL!!]: 2015: 25% BTT, 75% BCT.
[POLL] BTT - BCT - BTCT?: 2019: 9.4% BTT, 45.3% BCT, 37.7% BTCT.

This topic seems to emerge ever 4 years, like halvings

Old users won't change habits. New members are going to find their own choice but forum users won't be able to make agreements on this question because there's too many users. I don't like BTT or BCT because they're like crypto codes. BTCT's the abbreviation which's different so it's attractive to consider.

If you look at the basic words Bitcoin and Talk, The abbreviation for bitcoin is BTC, so you can use BTCT for bitcointalk. However, in my opinion, BTCT usage is very long. So it's better to keep using BTT. Apart from being shorter, BTT is more familiar and easy to remember. I also started to get to know the Bitcointalk forum in 2017 and already used the abbreviation BTT. And it will stay like that.

BTT is what we use for long time  and it means Bitcointalk but I agree with those users said above that BCT  stands for Bitcointalk but anyways even though how we use the abbreviation but still this is a forum of discussion so even if it's BCT or BTT  but still it's stand for Bitcointalk which is we make a topics more about Bitcoin and other crypto currency. And also BTT is ude for quite so many years so maybe that is enough.

BCT = BitCoinTalk
BTT = BiTcoinTalk

It's pretty obvious that the first one makes a lot more sense, right?

Another 'correct' one would be BTCT = BitcoinTalk = BTCTalk; but a 4-letter abbreviation doesn't sound/look as good.

It feels more correct if it is BTCT but as you have said that 4 letter abbreviation doesn't sound/look good. I would also say that rhe first one is a lot more natural in my opinion which is BCT. I wonder when there will be an announcement about the official abbreviation of the bitcointalk forum. I don't know if it will happen and it it didn't then it would be fine in my opinion or for me and this way, it is up to the forum members to choose which abbreviation they will choose.

I have never used any of the options you have. I normally refer to it as btctalk.

[libert19]

I have used both, whatever my mind felt inclined to that particular moment. However, I feel BTCT would be better, it somehow flows in tongue better (only me?), and makes sense:

BTC for BTC and T for Talk.

[LoyceV]

It looks like there's an official answer now: click PROFILE, click Account Related Settings, and scan the QR-code. It has BTCT in the code.

To be honest, it's hard for me to pronounce BTCT, I was referring to the flow of tongue thing you mentioned. It's the opposite for me. Even at the moment of the writing, I had to recheck the spelling. On the other hand BTT is just fine. Don't you think? Most of us are used to BTT not BTCT or BCT.

Thanks for the update, but for now I think it will look a little strange to process it but I know with time coming more forum users will be familiar with the abbreviation @BTCT as (BTC= Bitcoin) and the remaining (T=talk). Although when you come to look at it on a formal sense, I think this is more appropriate but it will be hard to stick this early period because users here are more familiar with BTT or BCT.

Yeah, I think this is a good idea you know, so there's nothing strange about that as it will be of good help to other forum members in the forum, as the forum already know about the BTT abbreviation but if but I can testify that with some time, other forum members will still get use to it, as there is nothing that isn't starting from scratch

This thread inspired me a lot and now I don't prefer any abbreviation or short form of Bitcointalk, I simply use the full name "Bitcointalk" when I tell someone about it. I think we all should prefer to use full name of the site instead of using those abbreviations.

Although I won't count myself as an expert but I think the crypto community as whole is filled with abbreviation and shorted words so actually calling the number crypto community with a reference abbreviation is no bad idea at all. Well am not too familiar with the terms of any of the abbreviation but I think this new update sounds and feel more legit #BTCT but it's a little long for abbreviation though as abbreviation is supposed to be brief, short and simple.

I was just reading through this board and I came across this topic then I decided to check on it, but this is also a good idea as it will help the forum and it users
But according to the link you provided, the second one is not showing anything.
This is what it showed when I try to check it out. I think something is wrong with the link or something else

as title, which abbreviation fits bitcointalk better
i have seen BTT for a loooong time, but use BCT myself.

Sometimes the things we take as ideal are the ones majority of people accept as ideal. Logically I believe BCT sounds more genuine but due to frequent use on the forum BTT is more popular.

I even tried typing both abbreviations on Google and to my surprise Bitcoin talk came as the second result for both searches.

A lot of users use BTT. And although voting can change the frequency of it's usage it won't be easy because many are already used to using BTT.

You don't have to be an expert before you make your opinion known, and in the end, you actually made a very sensible one. In fact, if Bitcoin could be BTC and not BC, I do not see the reason for me to call Bitcointalk BCT because in the real Bitcoin of BTC, T was never silenced and they never used the syllable that formed the BCT as many claimed. For this, and to void all controversy, I believe that calling it the full abbreviation of Bitcoin itself makes more sense, and the Talk that is included will just join it as in BTCT.

However, in my view to make it more unique, the last T which stands for Talk could be a bit touched and changed to a small letter, as in BTCt which is what I have been using ever since the recent controversy surfaced. Whether BTCT or BTCt, I am okay with it.

As for the length, there is no perfect way to abbreviate words and phrases, and some might be so ugly as well, all that matters is for them to reflect the gift of their long world. It is not a must that all abbreviations must be 3 letters, and still BTCT which is a 4-letter is never too long as there are longer ones which still fit perfectly in what they are used for.

For me I would prefer BCT than BTT. Because if you were asked to explain BCT and BTT it would be more easy to explain  BCT as (Bit-coin-talk) while BTT would be (bitcoin talk) the middle T becomes silence and looks like BT
