Yeah, the cryptocurrency spam everywhere is a problem and I'm glad the community is fighting it. But for me, the more annoying remnant of this bubble is the fact that the meaning of the word "crypto", used for decades for "cryptography" (like in "strong crypto"), has now been altered and by default means "cryptocurrency." Which, because of many crooks involved, is often associated with its shady aspects.

words, language and interpretation change over time, just deal with it. Those of us into both cryptography and cryptocurrency are able to determine the difference through context most of the time.
Of course it's not impossible, I can guess what you mean by "the crypto used in this crypto is dubious." It just irritates me, also because many if not most people don't know the original meaning and always assume we're talking about cryptocurrencies.
