To me, it's like the word "hacker."
I mean, we're on a site called "hacker news." If any non-technical person looks over my shoulder and sees the title of this site, they automatically think cyber criminal website. Because that's what "hacker" means to a majority of people. Heck, even to a lot of technical people.
"Crypto" is going down the same road. Sure, we know the difference. But most people think "Crypto" is Bitcoin. Period.
