Yeah the way he conflates "crypto" to refer both cryptography and cryptocurrency, and the rhetoric itself is quite odd: https://urbanists.social/@sam/1103402656

  "crypto" was used to mean cryptography long before it was used to mean currency, and in some circles still primarily means cryptography.

    > in some circles still primarily means cryptography. It still does in my circle. The overloading of "crypto", though, has become such a source of confusion and misunderstanding that I have stopped using it and just use the full word, be it cryptography or cryptocurrency, instead.
