BCT vs BTT abbreviation for this forum

[Ultegra134]

Personally, I'm used to BTT, and a little while before coming across this thread, I hadn't even thought that BTT didn't sound too correct (BiTcoinTalk); I just realized that it didn't make too much sense. Mind-blowing. In my opinion, BCT (Bitcoin Talk) looks like a more appropriate abbreviation, but it's not that appealing, and probably the reason why the first one prevailed. BTCT, which a few others mentioned (BTC and Talk), is probably the closest one, but I'm feeling that it's becoming too complex for a forum's abbreviation, which is probably why BTT has remained the prevalent option.

I'll write the abbreviation which's come to my mind while I'm writing a post. Like other ppl maybe I'll use both. The topic voting hasn't ended so far it's a thin lead for one abbreviation but it won't change opinions. Users aren't going to write abbreviations to please others.

Even 15 days after this thread was created, this abbreviation makes it cool and makes calling easy, remembered and logic recognizes that it is more comfortable in calling, I often call it BTT because it is adorable , although there are those who make the abbreviation statement into a company or oracle.

Calling btt is just spontaneous but I still use it often, or even sometimes I just call morum only (using the forum) because I enjoy more time on bitcointalk at the moment. Other than that, bct is also good in terms of nicknames but it's a bit annoying in my mind and like a joke in my local language, it's just a joke in my mind (BCT=>BaCoT= rude speaking term ), although the original designation of bct is bitcointalk.

Because two identical letters are easier on the tongue than three random syllables, depending on each person's brain and heart in responding to repeated invocations, although with habit it can also get used, but I choose BTT.

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.

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  

It's because Loyce forgot to put link in there. You can go manually as mentioned, it'll work.

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.

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. 

You will get used to pronunciation, it's that you are used to BTT right now, so it may take a while. Regarding spelling, BTC+T, dunno why would that be hard.

i have seen BTT for a loooong time, but use BCT myself.

Well, upon joining the forum, I mostly saw a lot of persons using BTT and I just didn't come across BCT. it's more likely common amongst members of the forum. I've seen so many debate on other thread and majority chose BTT  over BCT.

here's what I found though. On the recently implemented 2fa on forum, after linking with my authenticator app, I found out that Bitcointalk was abbreviated using BTCT.i was amazed, i guess that's how it was set by theymos on the Google authenticator label. So what do you guys think. for me I will still go for BTT. it's well-known and easier

You forgot the first step, click your own PROFILE. I can't link to an URL with a userID in it. Okay, I can, but now it only works for you.

It's because Loyce forgot to put link in there.

Nope, it was intentional. For what it's worth: My desktop browser just ignores the dead link when I click it.

[Timelord2067]

Have only just come across this thread and the vote is already closed.

Please add me to the BCT group.  That was what was being insisted on early in my time here and until very recently I'd rarely seen anything else used.

I won't be changing my abbreviation usage.

Okay,,, I checked it out  and it worked perfectly, thank for the heads up.

D-oo-oo-h!  How in the world did I miss this topic?

I don't know why BTT is even used as an abbreviation for BitCoinTalk, and I've seen it used so many times that I've just stopped wondering.  And hey, even though I'm an opinionated bastard and am an ardent supporter of "BCT" as shorthand for our forum's name as well as a strong opponent of using mBTC as a unit of measure, this is crypto.  This is bitcointalk.  Everyone is free to write what they want as far as those things go.

And maaaan.....I missed the voting deadline for the poll.  My Christmas is just ruined now.

[BABY SHOES]

As far as we remember,,, the mention of the abbreviation bitcointalk in our local forum that is often mentioned is "BTT" rather than "BCT", but I see the voting results as the most BTT, maybe if this vote is opened I will vote BTT. 

I mention BTT because of the habits of people who are in the local sub, maybe people used to BCT people now BTT, it depends on habits,

I will always prefer this forum as "BTT".
It's because it's Bitcoin - "BTC", Talk is the "T" since it's BitcoinTalk, it could be like "BTCT" but it's too long and most abbrevation in this space uses 3 letters only. So removing the "C" in "BTCT" then become "BTT" could be the best choice because "BCT" is more like a coin and a result of shuffled "BTC".

[arabspaceship123]

I didn't discover topics by theymos asking if the abbreviation users wanted to finalise was BTT or BCT so this isn't a formal vote which's going to change procedure in the forum. What's advantageous about open democracy's it doesn't force ppl so we'll use both options BCT & BTT.

If the voting didn't closed it would've remained

[Timelord2067]

The second "T" in BTCT is "town" - if you install 2FA you will notice a URL in the logo and it clearly says "Town"

[Out of mind]

I'll vote BTT, it's been around for a long time, so everyone will prefer the old name. But when BCT is used instead of BTT, many will say BTC for sure. So I'll say the old word, and that's my preference.

Sorry man, I guess the whole period has hectic for you. I would like to commend you on your writing skills though, I mean how is it that whenever I read your replies you tend to portray to your readers the exact way you feel and I am really impressed, I wish I had same writing skills, well maybe because english is not my strong language and am writing to be as creative as I can.

[Sim_card]

I will stick to the one that I am used to which is BTT, this is because when I came here first...this was what I was used to. As for BCT, it is cool but, it doesn't tell more of bitcoin, as one will think that you mean something else. On the other hand BTT, might still mean BiTTalk, so maybe BTCT, can be considered, because it is more of the whole meaning. The vote is closed, and I just came across this thread.

That is because there is nothing official or formal here, the forum doesn't even have an official set of rules, neither does Bitcoin itself have an official website, it is a free network and everybody is free to use whatever abbreviation they think is right, but at least it should make sense to an extent. If the voting was still open i'd vote for BTT, or maybe BCT, well i'd have just voted for either one and i would use anyone that comes to mind first within my posts.

[inthelongrun]

Voting is locked already. Should've extended it until December 31, forum time. Most people I encountered in this forum used BTT. But I prefer to use BCT since it is Bit-Coin-Talk. If we're to copy the use of BTC on bitcoin then I guess it should be called BTCT.

Anyway, I have no problem and I don't give much emphasis on how people want to abbreviate this forum. There is nothing wrong with them as long as they aren't something offensive.

Hey bro, I think we both support that BCT thing as that sounds more genuine for this forum but majority of the users are in favor of BTT which in my point of view doesn't make much sense. Not a big problem if you missed the voting deadline because sometimes we do miss some topics on the forum but I'm quite happy that you have finally found the topic and gave your opinion about the topic.

[OddJobsForBitcoin]

This forum has always been abbreviated as BTT since I joined. BCT is even the username of a member here. Not sure that I've come across BTT as a username. To me, BCT might be more appropriate but BTT has already gained traction around here.
