Technically correct?

but their meaning is "bitcoin/crypto". Much the same way internet/web and hoover/vacuum cleaner are interchangable to the general public.

As for if it's the actual cause? idk.

Technically incorrect but socially “correct” where correct means as incorrect as the average person. I consider that to be a very prominent sign of lack of research.
