hearing ppl say “crypto” when they’re talking about finance is like when someone tells me they “wrote a blog” today.

It’s just a word, means hidden. Which actually makes sense when you apply it to crypto-currency, i.e. it’s mostly used to hide / launder money ;)
-
No, this is the point, it is "currency via cryptography", not "hidden money".
-
Yeah, so? We drop "-graph" and "-graphy" all the time. Photo, bio-pic, pr0n, etc. I guess we should always say "typographical error" when "typo" will do.
-
The point of the original is that we don't drop "-currency" all the time. Crypto as a standalone abbrev. means cryptography. Not cryptocurrency.
-
Yeah well, welcome to English. It literally changes all the time.

In my nightmares Bitcoin is used as a vector to ban cryptography

No more weird than pushing general data retention in an elevator safety regulationhttps://edri.org/italy-plans-extend-telecoms-data-retention-increase-censorship-powers/ …

It's not weird, it's italian politics :(

After the government shutdown in US, I would expected it to be commonly understood that politicians roll unrelated things into bills in order to make them pass

Friend of mine used to have the EFF "Cryptography is not a crime" bumper sticker. Got followed by this furious honking woman who chased him into a store on foot until he explained what cryptography meant. "Oh," she mumbled, "I thought it was something obscene done in crypts"

We should probably bring back teaching Latin in high school.

Well the term is Greek, and also the meanings of "cryptography" and "steganography" are reversed from their resepective translations. ("cryptography" means "hidden writing" and "steganography" means "secret writing")
-
My error. I forgot about the Greeks!
