Is "cryptocurrency" a good term?

I was listening to a podcast, (I think it was Crypto Bobby and his interview with the Clay Collins) and they were discussing different terms for CryptoCurrency. They discussed using the term "Digital Assets", I think that is a better broad term description.

I prefer "digital currency", we use them above all for their virtual character that for their encrypted character, that's my opinion.

Cryptic means some hidden matters. Miners does some mathematical problems which is really cryptic and currency means money . So cryptocurrency is a proper term.

I agree with you, the word cyptocurrency is not the best word to describe this complex system. But I think we can't do much about it, since every person knows cryptocurrency as a cryptocurrency.

Crypto - from the Greek kryptos secret, hidden.
That is, the crypto currency is the encrypted code, which can be recognized by various calculations on a super-powerful computer. For the right answer, a person who is trying to guess, receives a monetary reward.
Basically, everyone is used to using this term and discussing the name change at least meaninglessly

Yeah definitely. I think not all cryptos nowadays focus a lot on "Crytography", however it sort of serves as a general term for a computer/technology based currency which is cool

Yea, i thought the same thing too. First times I learn about CC, I argued about the term. "Why not, like, virtual currency? Or altercurrency?"
