With big ICOs taking down the Ethereum network and a lot of people making a lot of money (did anyone say "bubble"?) everyone is jumping onto the crypto hype. Major news outlets writing front page articles, everyone with a but of money buying crypto currencies. But where is the actual crypto, as in cryptography?
iOS and Android full device encryption, Facebook adding PGP, and WhatsApp end-to-end encryption have been great gains for cryptography use on a large scale, but usability has won from best crypto practices in some ways. Safer messengers like Signal are gaining steam (see what I did there?), but have nowhere the acceptance of WhatsApp or Facebook have.
When it comes down to hardcore security and encryption best practices, like storing your own private keys, there isn't anything like PGP. I'd love to write more about encryption and would love feedback on what you think about PGP, encryption and if it even has anything to do with cryptocurrencies.
