The relentless march of language. Back in my day, TikTok was just the sound a clock made.

TikTok is a name, and the phrase is "tick tock" anyway. "Crypto" is not a name. This is a difference case.

The point is moot now. And I don't mean debatable.

Words can be associated with multiple topics. The most popular of them no longer being cryptography unfortunately.

Cryptocurrency is cryptography based currency though, so the term does make sense.
