Is it accepted? I would agree only when it appears in the NYT or The Economist with its 'new' meaning.
It's a subset of lazy people in tech who are abusing 'crypto' at this point in time, not Valley Girls. There's an inflection point here to interdict the abuse, before it gains mass-usage.

- topbarcolor 9y agoWhat is actually happening is that someone tells other people on the lawn that they wish kids wouldn't walk (and poop) on it, and then some of those other people play kiddo advocate and yell at that person. The kids are aren't providing any active resistance at all compared to that.
- colecut 9y agoI guess I don't see the "pooping" part, I just see them shortening a long word they happen to be using. Also, the headline clearly says cryptocurrency, it seems to be the domain name he is complaining about. Sorry, I don't agree with adding 8 letters to a url to make a very small segment of people (who are apparently not the target audience) happy.
