This war was fought and cryptocurrencies decisively won the "crypto" moniker.
- kriops 5y agoNot really? Context matters and all that. I have yet to encounter someone mistaking crypto[graphy] for crypto[currency] or the other way around. It’s just that finance is more relevant than encryption in most conversations where the participants are mostly unfamiliar both fields.
- Andrew_nenakhov 5y agoI mean, just enter 'crypto' in your search engine of choice, and check the cryptocurrency/cryptography ratio in the results. This ratio closely resembles what I hear about whenever I hear the term, and I actually have a cryptography function in my company's product. For regular people the ratio will be even more extreme.
- junon 5y agoErr, not really, no.
- Andrew_nenakhov 5y agoYou are denying the reality. I would prefer for it to mean cryptography, but this ship has sailed, and we have to accept it.
- junon 5y agoNo we don't, why do we "have to" accept it?
