Difference between crypto and cryptocurrency

[The Cryptovator]

As we who frequently uses cryptocurrency, I often refer to it as "crypto" for the sake of brevity. Essentially, "crypto" is just a shortened form of either "cryptocurrency" or "cryptography." Therefore, I believe that there is no significant difference between the two terms, so other ends peoples weren't wrong at all. It simply boils down to our personal preference in expressing ourselves succinctly. Let's not argue over such a trivial matter.
