Please stop using crypto to mean cryptographic currency. Crypto has a well defined meaning.

Words can mean different things and in this case the meaning is obvious from the context.
Fair but context implies I mean CC, as another mentioned. Meaning, devoid of context, is difficult to create. So, please, keep this in mind when you're nit-picking on what you mean.
Asking someone not to use a word a certain way when it is already in popular use seems like a waste of time.
