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.)

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? 

 anyone know or remember who "coined" the term cryptocurrency?

crypto

Can we establish "crypto" to mean "cryptography" again?
