Crypto doesn’t need quotes

• segasaturn 3y ago
  I've seen people in the cryptography space use airquotes when referring to cryptocurrency to show their contempt for what they see as a scammy riff on their very serious and important work.

  Before the Bitcoin et al. scamming, some people said "crypto" to abbreviate terms like cryptography and cryptographic protocol. Scammer bros appropriated "crypto", and made it dirty.

    True; unfortunately, that battle is lost.
