Just scanned all four links. Seems you're having to put quite a lot of effort into defending the distinction, when just using the fuller name would head all of that off at the pass. Anyway, your territory, your choice to make. Cheers.

Why wasn't the territory just named Cryptography then ?

Seems to me that calling it crypto but with the description you have given just adds to the (unhelpful) conflation of 'cryptocurrencices' (dumb name) and cryptography.

I get the idea of 'trying to take a name back' but I don't think crypto was ever used much as an abbreviation for cryptography much anyway. (Although maybe I'm wrong and it was in some circles ?) I feel the use of the word mostly sprang into existence with the arrival of shitcoining 'crypto bros'.
