Does naming a public ledger 'hidden/secret' really make sense?


Of course no, the new naming of crypto comes from cryptocurrency, which comes from currency based on cryptography.

It's not the first time something like this happened, the only difference is that in the past languages evolved similarly in hundreds of years, now a new word can pop up in a day (but most new words get global in just a few years).
