You knew it was over the second time you were talking to someone you didn't know well, were about to use the term "crypto", and paused to check in your head how they'd interpret the word. "Crypto" means "cryptocurrency", not "cryptography". Cryptocurrency implementers understand just fine what I mean. I'm speaking about the actual cryptographers and not the people doing get-rich-quick schemes. For the rest, I consider continuing to use the term crypto and having them get confused means just maybe that will lead to a test of their faith.
