Working on it

FWIW, I'm seriously disappointed that common usage has now adopted "crypto" to mean (almost exclusively) "crypto-currency". It's such an impoverishment of the language.

<fx: shrug />

Can't win, can't break even, have to play the game.

Oh, I totally agree. Like when people say "Google" something they just mean "search" not "track every movement you make on the Internet and serve ads based on what some algorithm determines your interests might be"

Call me weird, but I don't "Google" for things. I use the Google search tool as a tool, but I use other search engines as well, and I don't use the term "to Google for something".

Yes, I know, I'm weird, out-of-date, and due to be put out to pasture. I still claim not all changes are indicative of positive progress.
