Virtual currency is another catch phrase that they want to embed in the subconscious. Virtual currency is very different from crypto currency.

+999  hit this hard people.  Never ever let anyone put virtual currency and crypto currency in the same class.  If they try to call it virtual currency, make them beg for mercy.  Sneer and cajole and ridicule.  One thing they cannot survive is mockery, because it subverts the illusion of competence and legitimacy.  Virtual currency is play money.  Cryptographic currency is backed by logic itself, more secure than any army.

Some think it is trivial, but it is not, “virtual” applies to fiat in a bank, not to cryptocurrencies.
