"crypto" was used to mean cryptography long before it was used to mean currency, and in some circles still primarily means cryptography.

It still does in my circle. The overloading of "crypto", though, has become such a source of confusion and misunderstanding that I have stopped using it and just use the full word, be it cryptography or cryptocurrency, instead.
