Silicon Valley's AI elite are shelling out as much as $6,000/hour for 'nerdy escorts' who can talk tech and crypto (finance.yahoo.com)

Paying an escort to spend time with you certainly doesn't come with the same sacrifices as an organic relationship. And, unlike chatbots, "nerdy escorts" are real people who can provide human perspectives on things like AI, crypto and economics instead of just echoing back a tech worker's thoughts on such subjects.

That would be general purpose cryptography, and is never abbreviated to crypto.

“Crypto” can encompass things that aren’t “coins” though—like land deeds. It’s just a protocol to secure & verify ownership in a decentralized way.

My point is, the actual concept of it absolutely could be an intellectual conversation. Their confidently ignorant quip about what qualifies is silly.
