(Surprisingly the fine article is about cryptography, not fake internet money)

Is this really surprising? I'm (still) more surprised when I click on an article with crypto in the title and it's not about cryptography. (There may be some underlying bias as to the links I see/am sent.)
In this particular instance I fully expected an article about cryptocurrencies but I think that's mainly because of the other word in the title. I don't usually associate cryptography with zealotry.
I've seen people use "crypto analysis" to mean "understands the kraken exchange UI better than most people". (A crime for which the only appropriate punishment is immediate banishment, IMO)
It's very disappointing tbh, I love crypto. As in, cryptography.
