To find the hidden intention of a word, you need to dissect it and look at it from different angles and levels. If you only look at it at face value or study its definition at the surface level, you will never know its deeper meanings. You also need to find its origin. You can not truly comprehend something until you know its origin.
To find the hidden or covert meanings of the word cryptocurrency, you need to split it into two words “crypto-currency” and then find the origins of the new words. The word crypto originated from the Greek word kryptos, which means “hidden, concealed, secret”. The origin of the word currency comes from the Latin word currens, which is the present participle of currere. When translated into English it means “to run”.
Here is an excerpt from one of my previous articles titled The Relation Between Energy and Currency that explains the occult (hidden) meanings of the word currency.
The word currency originated from the Latin word currens, the present participle of currere, which means “to run.” Now, why would they based the word currency on a Latin word that does not have much to do with paper money or coin? Because it is not really about the paper money or coin. Instead, it has to do with energy.
The overt or unhidden definition of the word currency only shows you its meaning at the surface. To find its deeper meaning, you need to look deep into the hidden layers of this word.
The covert definition of currency
To find the covert or hidden definition of currency, you need to use phonetics and separate the word currency into two words. When spoken out loud, the word currency sounds similar to “current-sea.” What does a current do in a river? It flows to the sea! Sometimes you have to rely on the phonetics instead of the letters to find the hidden meaning of a word.
What are the things that cause the current to flow? The forces of nature (i.e., gravity) and the elevation of the land. Dictionary.com defines current as “something that flows, as a stream.” The flowing movement of currents is what causes the freshwater in the river to flow to the sea. Once the freshwater is in the sea, the water is now part of the “current-sea,” or the “current of the sea.”
The word currency also sounds similar to “current-chi.” In Chinese, the word chi means “natural energy,” “life force,” or “energy flow.” Based on these definitions, currency means the “flow of energy.” When you really think about it, currency is a medium for exchanging energy.
When you go to work at a company, the company often pays you hourly. Every hour is recorded to make sure that you are paid for investing your time and energy into the company. After you have worked for a certain amount of time, you are given a weekly or biweekly paycheck, usually on Friday. Once you take your paycheck to the bank to cash it for currency, the currency now represents your time and energy.
