I don't think I am ever going to get used to "crypto" meaning "cryptocurrency" and not "cryptography". Can't we just keep calling it "cryptocurrency"? I thought this article would be about the various misguided governments' attempts to outlaw cryptography.

- graypegg 5y agoI think we’d be all OK if this was the crypto we were outlawing.
- danaris 5y agoGiven the recent decline in interest in both NFTs and cryptocurrency in general, I'd say within the next 5 years or so we'll be able to go back to using "crypto" to mean "cryptography" without much fear of confusion.
