Why isn't the term "cipher" used anymore?

Cipher (or cypher) used to be used by cryptographers. This is technically what bitcoin technology is. Has the term been dropped by the cryptographer community?
Any significantly advanced cryptocurrency is indistinguishable from Ponzi Tulips.

No, it's not. "Cipher" is a synonym for "encryption algorithm". The core Bitcoin protocol doesn't use any encryption.
The word is still commonly used in the terms "block cipher", "stream cipher", "symmetric cipher", "ciphertext", "cipherspec", etc.
