- robocat 4y agoCrypto has its own meanings and cryptocurrency also has some of those other meanings (not just the historical connection to encoding). I especially like some of the biological metaphors: https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/crypto/index.html https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/crypto/index.html https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptozoology https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptozoology https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aggressive_mimicry#Mimesis https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aggressive_mimicry#Mimesis “cryptic aggressive mimicry is where the predator mimics an organism that its prey is indifferent to” i.e. wolf in sheep’s clothing.
