Replace first instance of 'Bitcoin' with something else

Twice now I've come across threads where someone posts a link to ZeroNet, which everyone gets excited about until they notice the word 'Bitcoin' at the top of the site and immediately shrug it off as requiring a Blockchain.

Example 1: https://reddit.com/comments/7t9t1g/comment/dtbd4pn
Example 2: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/7juju3/zeronet_an_interesting_decentralized_p2p_network/

We need to change this.

The first mention of Bitcoin puts people off. The second one about no passwords is less daunting. I propose we change the line from:

"Open, free and uncensorable websites,
using Bitcoin cryptography and BitTorrent network"

to

"Open, free and uncensorable websites,
using strong cryptography and the BitTorrent network"

Substitute other words in as you like, but I suggest not changing it too much as updating translations would be a hassle. With the above change "Bitcoin" simply needs to be changed to that language's equivalent of "strong", which shouldn't be too bad.

I think this minute change would really help make the appearance of Zeronet better in the respective tech circles whom will be a large part of ZeroNet's initial niche audience, and will be the ones to initially shape and let it grow.

"Crypto" was replaced with "cryptography" already, can this be closed? @HelloZeroNet
