Yeah, that headline is very misleading. Crypto(graphy) is essential for the digital world to exist whereas the other stuff is a pyramid & money laundering scheme.
It's not "misleading," because the vast majority of people understand what the current colloquial use of crypto is.
Not the nerds on Lemmy.
A certain irony in a synonym for "secret" being a term everyone's implicitly familiar with.
It’s useful for buying drugs online on the dark web so I for one like it
my man
All the fentanyl you can snort.
Which market are people using nowadays? I haven't kept up to speed over the last few years.
"Have you invested in crypto?"
Do you think anyone anywhere will misunderstand this as investing in cryptographic research/development?
The mainstream usage of the word isn't always aligned with what is good for society or even the original usage of the word.
I guess I'm getting old then 😜
