Is it just me or do others out there also get angry when people refer to "crytocurrency" as "crypto"? I know perhaps in their circles it's a handy abbreviated word for "cryptocurrency", which admittedly is a mouthful, but this just makes me angry that they would conflate "crypto" (upon which the whole basis of the modern internet is built on), with a form of currency that people have no idea about and are just mindlessly speculating on. Perhaps it's because I've taken some classes on cryptography and understand how beautiful a subject it is, that I find it demeaning for people to use "crypto" to mean "cryptocurrency".

"Crypto" has been used as the abbreviation in the space but note taken and will refer to "cryptocurrency" in future posts to not conflate the two.

I wish the whole cryptocurrency trend would die just so they quit saying it.
