Crypto means hidden, stop using it to talk about cryptography.
It's also sometimes used as shorthand for crypto-orchidism -undescended testicles.
Ahh, so... crypto, which is based on crypto, can be used to pay for treatments to crypto.
Got it.
Crypto currencies doesn't mean "hidden currency", it means currency based on cryptography.
Do you mean to say that crypto is based on crypto? Crazy!
They meant that choosing one possible definition and saying it’s what the word means is stupid. Words mean pretty much what everyone agrees they mean. Look at all the words that have basically flipped definitions since their inception. Just because the modern derivative of a word means something literally everyone understands but is slightly different than what it used to mean doesn’t mean the oldest answer is the correct one. Unwad your jock.
