It strikes me from watching this incident that there’s no shared definition of ‘cryptocurrency’
-
It’s a bit confusing because the cryptography is needed for the key generation and data structure but has nothing to do with the central innovation of PoW. Almost seems like PoW-currency would be a better term to differentiate
True enough. Also people in the cryptography biz are pissed that "crypto" now more often refers to "cryptocurrency" than to "cryptography".
