Cypherpunks are the backbone of #bitcoin. Don't get it twisted.

Cypherpunk is someone who uses cryptography and related technologies in a rebellious or anti-establishment way to promote individual privacy and freedom.

The term "cypherpunk" combines the words "cipher" (code or cryptography) and "punk" (anti-authoritarian attitude). Cypherpunks advocate for the use of strong cryptography and decentralized systems to protect individual liberties and challenge state control over communications and transactions.

So a cypherpunk is essentially a tech-savvy individual or activist who leverages cryptography and related tools like encryption, anonymity networks, and decentralized platforms to circumvent censorship, surveillance, and other forms of centralized authority over digital spaces.The underlying philosophy is about using code and math as a form of civil disobedience and empowerment against oppressive systems.

I absolutely love the ethos and everything what you said is absolutely right. I/We owe a lot to these people. I wish I had the technicals to aid the cause, sadly, I don't. Just please please keep up the good work all who are willing and able. My contribution is to stack and hold in cold storage though I appreciate there's a lot more to it on the technical side of things with regards to #BTC and elsewhere generally in the privacy space🫂.

Love the part : we owe those people a lot. I believe those visionaries are lost in a world where everybody wants some credit and wants to be a star. We can't the memory of that movement fade away.

Can I be one even if I’m not tech savvy? 😆

Nice!

I got recently mocked, scolded and ultimately fired from a "Bitcoin company" for suggesting (against the volatile will of the "CEO") that we should adopt a philosophy like this.

Most people can't even imagine the levels of hypocrisy and bs we cypherpunks have to endure in our daily lives from predatory corporate whores that see in Bitcoin only a means to getting rich quick and easy.

So, thank you, friend, for being the voice of many.

Name and shame! They are probably not a ‘bitcoin company’ but a fiat company doing business in bitcoin

punk shit; but in a good way 🤣🤣🤣

Yeah.

Bitcoin is punk rock

More like Nu Metal from Limp Biskit.

All the rest moved to Monero a long time ago. It ain't no coincidence to be the only coin with a bounty for breaking its privacy whereas BTC is nowadays a government supported ETF.

How does it work to be claim anti-establishment while promoting an establishment-supported currency?

Monero is the coin adopted a long time ago that solved that problem. Look it up.

There is a reason why you only see normies, banks and binance-casinos using bitcoin nowadays. 🙄

Nice try.

We won’t submit to your central bank scams fascist. Your days are numbered
