Wrong, Jay.  I do crypto, first and foremost.

Crypto means cryptography.

If you don’t use PGP for your email, then you do NOT do crypto.

On the one end, Jay, you want to batslap anyone who says “crypto” to steal branding from Bitcoin...

...on the other, I want to batslap anyone who steals the word “crypto”.  I am bloody well sick and tired of ignoramuses speak the word “crypto”, when the only concept they have of “crypto” is chasing get-rich-quick moonshot shitcoins staked for “passive income”, or whatever.  I care about crypto!

My crypto has not recently changed in value:  It still encrypts just fine.  My Chacha20 still dances.  My hashes still hash.  My elliptic curves are still elliptically curvy.

Oh, did someone want to talk about cryptocurrency?  That’s just one application of crypto, sort of like the Web is one application of the Internet.

(Does that sound bitter to you, Jay?  Maybe even “smart and bitter”?)
