Perhaps unintentional, but I find 'bankrypt' to be a thoroughly interesting portmonteau.

I'm not sure if it's when you run out of crypto, or when your bank gets hit by ransomeware.

Ironically you spelled portmanteau incorrectly. OP very well could have made a similar error for bankrupt. Maybe not, interesting to think about.

I'll be honest, I carefully scanned your comment for a similar mispelling.

its misspelling all the way dwon

I thought of it as crypt in the sense of "underground vault that acts a a burial place". So, not just ensuring you're bankrupt but with maybe a chance to start over, but "bankrypt", so bankrupt that they make sure you're buried.

Either way, something interesting about that accidental misspelling. It will probably become someone's band name one day.
