 Using the word “crypto” makes you sound retarded. 
 Just when Saylor made "paranoid crypto anarchist" cool again. 
 Often, people who use this word have no idea what cryptography is. 
 Make crypto cryptozoology again  
 Nowadays, yeah. 
Thanks to the shitcoin tards that co-opted it to peddle their trash.

Now I have to remind people that it simply stands for cryptography. Nothing more. 
 You're the 2nd person today on my feed to announce a pet peeve. 
 Using the word "retarded" makes you sound crypto. 
 so you agree with big tech (facebook, insta, tiktok, google) by forwning upon use of retarted? thats retarded if you ask me 
 I’ll use whatever words I want cutie pie 😘 
 Awe shucks… 
 It's the retarded test 
 Very good one  
 Unless you say you're a paranoid cryptoanarchist  
 Only cryptographers hate shitcoiners more than bitcoiners  
 You mean the crypto couple is retarded? 
 I know, here in Florence Italy is very hard to make people understand us. 
 At least people are done saying “block chain”.

I'm still friends with people who buy bags of things like this.  They make more fiat trading than I do hodlinng, but I'm ok with that. 
 They make more until they don't 🤷 
 a very tainted word these days
