D-oo-oo-h! How in the world did I miss this topic?
And maaaan.....I missed the voting deadline for the poll. My Christmas is just ruined now.
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. Even if it sounds wrong, it's what most people use. So if BTT is in favor of all, I think it should be considered right even if it is not. We are just more used to BTT than anything else. I always wondered how BTT was introduced as an abbreviation for Bitcointalk in the first place??? Who used this wrong abbreviation and made it famous!? ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

Even if it sounds wrong, it's what most people use. So if BTT is in favor of all, I think it should be considered right even if it is not. We are just more used to BTT than anything else.
It doesn't sound sensible to me to go with something that doesn't really makes sense but majority support it and that's why we should too. If everyone is favoring a thing which is not correct then it's better to be neutral or go with something that's correct rather than going with something wrong because majority support it. In this case BTT is supported by the majority of the members because they have been seeing others using that abbreviation and they themselves have started using the same abbreviation by following those other members. I think a better way is to use an abbreviation that makes sense and in that way BCT does makes some sense as Bit Coin talk. Although, the original abbreviation of Bitcoin is BTC but it's still okay to use BC for Bit Coin as two separate words and adding Talk would make it BCT, but for majority BTT has been the norm and they'll continue using it even if it doesn't make sense. And, when you ask them why they are using it: They answer that we have been using it for a long time and it sounds good to us. I'm in no way against those people as everyone can choose whatever they want but a proper abbreviation is much better than an improper one. I may also have used the BTT abbreviation in past by seeing others but now I'm going to go with BCT or BTCT which's a little bit longer as abbreviation but still it makes some sense.

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.
I think Bitcointalk rhymes more with the acronym BCT but however, from the vote results shows that the margin between those that still want it as BTT instead of BCT is not that much therefore i move the motion that the both acronyms should be used as abbreviation for Bitcointalk so everyone is entitled to use whichever one that they finds more suitable.

Op, why did you remove BTCT?...BTCT is arguably the most appropriate acronym. Infact when this same topic was discussed years past, from the result of the poll, BTCT was second, why then did you remove it now. If you want an unbaised poll, the options should be; And I will go with the first option because the acronym of bitcoin is BTC. So, Bi TCoin Talk should be BTCT.

Fellow members of the local community, I tend to refer to BTT as an abbreviation for bitcointalk. They understand and we understand each other, so it depends on habits and what you like best. In fact, I've never been asked why BTT and why not BCT or something like that, so far it's no problem because they like it too. BCT or BTT are both good and I like both, but I often refer to BTT as an abbreviation of bitcointalk.
Unfortunately, the poll has closed, but BTT is my choice.

Yeah.. All Indonesians call this forum BTT, and perhaps no one has ever called it BCT. like bitcoin which uses the abbreviation BTC so an easier abbreviation is BTT, BT for bitcoin and T for talk. It seems that the poll results also have a very thin margin and the abbreviation BTT only won by a margin of 1 vote. I haven't voted yet and unfortunately voting has closed but I like the results because BTT won the vote OP @vapourminer, Do you have plans to reopen voting?
Edit: Turns out I was bumping posts that had no comments for the last month, sorry I just realized

For me I have chose my option as BCT because it serves as a perfect match for the official Bitcointalk. I don't think there was a poll then except am the one who didn't notice if not I will have still chose BCT because I found it more convenient and easy to use compeard to BTT.

In most of the caes I've seen people referring to Bitcointalk with abbreviations, they only make use of BTT and I've never seen one before that comes with the assumption for BCT, if we are to start having another consideration like BCT, this may lead to confusion because some may think you're referring to a memetoken or something else, so it's more better and common with the use of BTT as an abbreviation when referring to 5he forum Bitcointalk, people easily decode this.

Whichever abbreviation option receives the most votes, the winner (or several) will be the one that is used most often in discussions. It will not be possible to impose the only correct thing. People will vote by their actions (by using an acronym). BCT - probably, if we consider the rules for the formation of abbreviations, this version is the most accurate. BTCT - is also good because it displays the bitcoin abbreviation. BTT - this option seems to be the most familiar and widespread in the community. Let me add more fuel to the discussion to help it flare up better. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Why is the option not being considered: BT - Bitcoin Talk, briefly and clearly.

I will keep an eye on this topic till when the OP re-open it for voting, so that I can also vote for the abbreviation, that I prefer.
I will vote for BTT, because of the double TT in it and it sounds more of the forum than BCT. BCT, is like saying the abbreviation of bitcoin but in the wrong way with the C comes before the T. Unlike BTC, so it is easy when you are saying it for people to misunderstand you, thinking that you are saying BTC but it was a mistake.

Xx And I will go with the first option because the acronym of bitcoin is BTC. So, Bi TCoin Talk should be BTCT.A whole debate erupted over the choice of abbreviation. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I expected the debate because this is an open forum with diverse opinions. Moreso, there are alot of learned people who will like to make inputs in one way or the other. BCT - probably, if we consider the rules for the formation of abbreviations, this version is the most accurate.
Can you please educate me on this because I bonked class during my high school, I would have learnt about the rules of acronym formation. Help a brother.

In a nutshell since we are used to BTC for Bitcoin and BTT for Bitcoin talk i prefer it to be the way it has been that is BTT meaning Bitcoin talk should remain that way and Bitcoin=BTC

Yeah.. All Indonesians call this forum BTT, and perhaps no one has ever called it BCT. I can't confirm your opinion because I never found survey results about it. I can only say on average call it BTT compared to others, but I can't generalize everything. Some call it bitcointalk, some BTT and I don't think it's a problem as long as both parties understand each other. Edit: Turns out I was bumping posts that had no comments for the last month, sorry I just realized That's fine as long as you add something constructive or relevant. If not, then it's a good idea not to repeat it next time.

I will go with BTT and reason is my brain says BTT matches more with bitcointalk.org then BCT. Everyone has its own choice and we have diversity here so there must be division over BCT and BTT. There is no hard and fast rule on what it should be. But it will be interesting to see final results of the voting. OP has indicated that he might open voting again.

ah, seems logical to me. But why Bi T Coin for BTC? ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) I want to know ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Because I'm not OG enough and I wasn't here to discuss which ticker to use for Bitcoin ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) . But you're right, it isn't very logical. Something like BCN would have made more sense to me. But we can't rewrite history. And I remember buying XBT on Kraken in 2017. Everyone was doing their own thing. But the "problem" with BTT is that you are shortening an acronym to add a 2nd 'T' for Talk. I can't think of an example where that works. It's like writing: I use Microsoft Word as a text editor. I use MS Word as a text editor. I use MSW as a text editor. I use MW as a text editor. If you lose the 'S' in MS (for Microsoft), it's hard to understand what you're talking about. 'BT' in the crypto world doesn't mean much. I've long written BCT for bitcointalk, but I realize that the simplest and most logical acronym would be to use BTCT.

Yes sir. Bitcointalk it's for "Bit Coin Talk" or Bi Tcoin Talk" ? I want to know your logic if you answer the 2nd solution.
Bitcoin is a word, although formed from two words, but one word in the crypto lexicon. Bitcoin-talk could just be BT according to m2017, but... And for the older among us, BTT has long been used for Bit TorrenT.
Any special relationship between Bit Torren T and Bitcoin?
