     @jon @carturo222 I hate that “crypto” has become synonymous with cryptocurrency. (And you’re entirely right about the cryptocurrency oligarchs.)

     Cryptography – what crypto did and should mean – protects human rights and democracy.

     I’d say it’s worth holding onto and reclaiming the term. Let’s not let the fuckers have it for free.
