Crypto should indeed disappear down a wormhole to get deposited into the trash dimension.

- akvadrako 4y agoIf you hate these guys so much you should not let them dictate your language. Crypto doesn't mean cryptocurrency.
- cbozeman 4y agoYes it does. It just doesn't to you, because you're not an average person. The average person, who has no idea what cryptography is, only hears of "crypto" in sound bites on MSNBC or Fox News, and hears advertisements for a VISA crypto card, the only card powered by crypto! and they think exactly what OP thought.
- mike_d 4y agoI'm going to blow your mind... the "crypto" in cryptocurrency is from cryptography, of which it is a subset.
- UncleMeat 4y agoSort of. Little of the work being done in the cryptocurrency space is actually applied cryptography. The big innovation of proof-of-work consensus isn't using cryptography to achieve trustlessness. Yeah there are digital signatures. Hooray.
- mike_d 4y agoThe proof of work in bitcoin was originally a cryptographic primitive designed to prevent email spam.
- ricochet11 4y agoI would argue that pretty much all of the recent (past 5 years) advances in work on zkproofs is researched/funded/applied by cryptocurrency community. and imo this is the most important work in cryptography that is happening, actually developing secure general computation. You might not like cryptocurrencies but to dismiss this is silly. The "crypto means cryptography" motto also trivializes all the prior work, cryptography and ideas of digital tokens/currencies have been tied together for decades. https://zkp.science/ https://zkp.science/ https://zkproof.org/ https://zkproof.org/ https://github.com/0xPARC https://github.com/0xPARC https://github.com/iden3/circom https://github.com/iden3/circom
