Very glad you squatted the territory and I sure hope we can reclaim the meaning of crypto.
(When I first saw the territory's name, I immediately assumed it was about shitcoins and didn't even bother to visit.)
Just curious: isn't it possible that bitcoin may actually be the first coin to have been referred to as a cryptocurrency? By some journalist or blogger or someone back in the day? Does anyone know? Can anyone know or remember who "coined" the term cryptocurrency?
(Not very surprising, given that Eric and I devised the playing cards, roles to be played (banker, assassin, money launderer, freedom fighter, whistleblower, etc.), and doled out crypto-currency (Monopoly money). The idea was not to discover real-world lessons, of course, but to graphically demonstrate some of the technology, some of the ways crypto-anonymity would change interactions, etc.)
