i have observed that terms like "cryptocurrency", "blockchain", and "alts" is not an english word because it is not included in the english dictionary though it is cliche in our cryptoworld, i think it is high time to include it in the dictionary for further acceptance of the public and increase its popularity do you agree? 
The latest technological invention can not be found in the dictionary at the moment as well.  "Blockchain" "cryptocurrency" and "altcoin" are all new words that just came due to the discovery of Blockchain technology. Soon  they will make their way into the dictionary.

it is not that new as you are telling it already exist since 2009. what we need to know is how do the coining of word happen? who chooses what words to add. this thread gives us an idea that the process of coining a word is not easy gives me a thought on how blockchain will help the language industry.
