The best tech does not always win.

I know, this is a dagger to your cypherpunk heart. It also broke my heart 💔

But it’s true, and we have to build like it’s true. It’s our job to make our tech usable for the rest of the world, or the rest of the world will use something else.

Sadly, I believe this to be true as well.

That said, if we think of all the things that have come out of that early cypherpunk camp, say SSL/TLS for example, we all use it and benefit from it. Yet I’d wager most have never thought about it all.

The best tech is usable tech!
