Cryptography and strong values 🤜🤛
A formula for freedom.
Facilitated by a bunch of bad asses known as The Cypherpunks. Strongly influenced by Austrian economics, Ayn Rand’s ‘Atlas Shrugged’ and Orwell’s ‘1984’, the Cypherpunk movement made it their mission to defend privacy.
They didn’t do it by lobbying to politicians or through legal process. They didn’t ask for permission, they wrote code and claimed freedom themselves. And as per their ethos, they distributed it as free software.

Yet another example of individuals in the free market solving a problem, except in this particular case solving a problem that will change the course of history.
Stoked to be here for it.
