I would pay 5M sats to know how I found the cypherpunk manifesto; I think I was 11, and around the time I heard about FREE KEVIN.

I would pay 10M sats, at least, to have a video of that moment.

Do you remember when you first heard of the cypherpunk manifesto?

It was relatively recent… in the past five years when i discovered #Bitcoin…

That Rabbit hole led me to the cypherpunk movement 🕳️⚡️.

I can't help remember the way anyone stumbled upon this brilliant piece, but I can remind everyone interested that we're getting close to 30th anniversary of "A Cypherpunk's Manifesto" being introduced to the world.

Add a reminder to celebrate this historic milestone on 03-09-2023 or simply follow #[2] to never miss the most important Bitcoin & Nostr historical and upcoming events.

#[4] on March 9

I don't remember the date, but I remember the exact moment. I found it on reddit and spent most of the night digging down that rabbit hole about cypherpunk activism, it felt like a revelation.

100%

to me, it was life-changing

Yeah for me too. I really like how well it aligns with bitcoin

I do, just now, never heard of it before 😃

What do you think?

I think the anonymity has been severely compromised by KYC. We need to take the power back and make buying BTC for fiat without KYC easier before it's too late.

I haven’t thought about Kevin Metnick in a long time! Thanks for the stroll down memory lane, is he still “forbidden” from “going online” or whatever? I think he started a security consulting firm at some point, but maybe voice-calls or in person only? Gotta go look this up now…
