Good

Respect 👊

I am a cypherpunk 🤥

idk entirely what a cypherpunk is, but as a newcomer, it's truly for everyone that wants freedom from many things.

Just read the manifesto. Its pretty focussed on privacy, which is not all too applicable to Nostr, but if you squint your eyes, you can see Nostr fitting in.

The quasi cyberpunks. The real ones are on IRC somewhere on the dark web as they never left it.

IRC is dead af

That’s what you think because you are not leet.

Just imagine if we had all been hanging out where the cypherpunks hung out in 2008.

Big if true…

Narrator: “It’s true”

sure, why not

It’s true. Bitcoin, Sats, Metal Seed Plate, Hardware Wallet, Linux, VPN, TOR, Node Running, GrapheneOS, Bitaxe, Free and Open Source Software, Sovereignty, Scarcity, Privacy… all these things are unknown to normies and it’s all right here on #nostr

In a way I totally agree.

I'm not worthy of such definition.

I'm a nostr user but don't really see myself as a cypherpunk, but I'm definitely a beneficiary of the cypherpunks' legacy

yall make good memes n have cool shit to talk about

so i stayed

Cypherpunks - by definition are those who no one talks about 😭😭 .. they just don't exist in public domain .. like a #higgs field , they are unperceivable by normies ..

The idea that world cares where they meet ..is this a non starter :-)

If they’re talking about where the cypherpunks are… they’re already downstream from the movement.

True! I like hanging out with the cypherpunks. Big why I am here.

We who actually mean crypto when we say crypto.

it oftentimes feels too psychotic here, and it drives me nuts!

Lolol

Is that what we are?
