While true, it would be really great (although I think its too late) if people would use the term "Cryptocurrencies" instead of "Crypto", since Crypto used to mean cryptography.

Pretty much its just like the hacker v cracker debate.

"the hacker v cracker debate" is (in my mind at least) over. There were and are many people who don't like the way the word "hacker" is used, but so what? Language changes, slang evolves. "Crypto" used to only mean one thing, now it means two. What's really the big deal about that?
Or cybercash.

A word that needs ruining there.
