I would say Bitcoin uses crypto. secp256k1, ECDSA, Schnorr, ECC, SHA-2, CSPRNG, HMAC, AES, that's crypto.

But why should I change when they're the ones who suck?

Anyway. Next time someone asks if I'm "buying crypto", I'll say, nah, I only use Free Open Source cryptography.

But I'm not sure on the execution of this approach to just see crypto as meaning cryptography again.

For example, would you say "Bitcoin is crypto"? See this comment:

Can we establish "crypto" to mean "cryptography" again?
