FTR: I don't care if people use "crypto" as a shorthand for "cryptocurrency", I'm not a crypto ayatollah, as long as people understand each other that's fine with me
To me it's not so much a matter of incorrectness (I'm not a language prescriptivist) as appropriation and unwanted association with scams. It's probably something like how Hormel Foods ppl felt about spam...

The difference being that spam was always something gross, just a different sort of gross, whereas crypto(1) is good and crypto(2) is ponzi schemes.
