🗒️ Summary of this message: A proposed BIP aims to establish a shared vocabulary for Bitcoin transactions, reducing confusion and cognitive load for developers and students.
📝 Original message:Big Concept ACK.

I've participated in several Bitcoin developer education programs over the past few years and have noticed that a consistent stumbling block for students is reconciling the different terms used in blogs, transcripts, mailing list posts, etc.

Having a reference document like this to include early in the curriculum(s) will help reduce cognitive load.

In particular, I'd like to highlight the importance of the "synonyms" field: since we can't retroactively re-write materials using different terms, having the synonyms will help map various resources to a shared terminology.

Thanks for working on this!

Cheers,
Josie
