Well, etymology and people's feelings aside, it should be noted that
If facts matter to you, here's why "crypto" is called crypto. Cryptocurrencies are known by that name because the SHA-256 hashing algorithm is an integral part of the Bitcoin protocol. Not because cryptocurrencies are "private" (almost NONE of them are) or because things are hidden. Go read up on "blockchain analytics" to see how little is hidden in most block chains.
