Highly unlikely he's a cypherpunk.
Lol. Bitcoins ONLY value prop is black market. Permissionless transactions, dodging taxes (includes seigniorage), and avoiding financial surveillance (in theory). Regulators can impose any arbitrary restriction on white market Bitcoin up to, and including, banning transactions from there. If you're not doing any of this then there is literally no reason to use Bitcoin. Fiat is much better if you're going to follow the rules anyway.

You need a reminder on Bitcoins cypherpunk origins of digital cash:

Right, Cyperpunk is not my religion. I don't hold its values above all else. Go, worship a man-made manifesto.
Bitcoin was man-made. You're free to use a hammer for whatever and however you want, but no one would contest that a hammer was designed by it's creators for a specific purpose that it excels in versus other tools. So when you're telling us that an important property of a hammer doesn't matter at all, despite all evidence to the contrary, you're just wrong.
