"If the federal government had access to every email you've ever written and every phone call you've ever made, it's almost certain that they could find something you've done which violates a provision in the 27,000 pages of federal statues or 10,000 administrative regulations. You probably do have something to hide, you just don't know it yet."
— Moxie Marlinspike (We Should All Have Something To Hide, 2013)

"But there is another solution, one advocated forcefully by computer scientist David Chaum. Rather than relying on new laws and more government, Chaum looks to technical solutions. And these solutions rely on the ancient science devoted to keeping information confidential: cryptography."
— Hal Finney (Protecting privacy with electronic cash, 1993)

Slave to the #system?
I deliberately left the bit about Bitcoin in my #Cypherpunk Manifesto article. I’d copied it and included a link to it. It was addressed to the W3 crowd on Nostr, who see Bitcoin as the savior. Here, Bitcoin is seen as the Antichrist, facilitating the rise of fascism. Both are oversimplified analyses. That’s why I’d been hoping for a discussion, as I’m not entirely sure myself.However, both #Thiel and #Musk made their fortunes through predatory platforms, mainly via #PayPal. The most horrific things in the world happen because #BlackRock and the like speculate on food. Because the military-industrial complex is flooding the world with weapons. All without Bitcoin or crypto. There’s also the Bitcoin Africa movement, which simply doesn’t fit into the ‘scammer-hater’ narrative.
Nevertheless, I think that as long as the world is ruled by #money (and it will be for a long time to come), it’s better to have decentralized money than #centralized money managed by states or companies. In Germany, they say, ‘Money doesn’t stink’. With money, you can buy flowers for your loved one or weapons to fight the enemy.
The dollar and the euro are ultimately controlled by a select few.. Crypto could, if viewed positively, be #democratic. I think this is a worthwhile discussion.
Think in terms of #structures, not #ideologies.https://word.undead-network.de/2026/07/07/slave-to-the-system/

Forward, and don’t forget! A Cypherpunk’s manifesto
In 1993, a mathematician named Eric Hughes sat down and wrote a declaration of his own.It was not about a king. It was about privacy, and the machines that were quietly ending it. He called it A Cypherpunk's Manifesto. The core idea was simple and radical: if you want privacy in a digital world, no one is going to grant it to you. You have to build it yourself.
His most famous line is three words long. "Cypherpunks write code." Not petition. Not protest. Not wait for permission. Build the thing that makes the freedom real, then give it away so no one can take it back.
Fifteen years later, Satoshi did exactly that. Bitcoin was not a demand that governments fix the money. It was working code that fixed it, released into the open where no one could recall it.
Here is the lesson that outlived the manifesto. Rights you have to ask for can be revoked. Rights you build into running code are yours to keep.
Independence was never granted. It gets written. Sometimes in ink, sometimes in software.

Vorwärts und nicht vergessen! Das Manifest eines Cypherpunks
Im Jahr 1993 setzte sich ein Mathematiker namens Eric Hughes hin und verfasste seine eigene Erklärung.Es ging nicht um einen König. Es ging um Privatsphäre und um die Maschinen, die diese still und leise zunichte machten. Er nannte sie „A Cypherpunk’s Manifesto“. Die Kernidee war einfach und radikal: Wenn man in einer digitalen Welt Privatsphäre will, wird einem diese niemand gewähren. Man muss sie sich selbst schaffen.
Sein berühmtester Satz besteht aus drei Wörtern: „Cypherpunks schreiben Code.“ Keine Petitionen. Keine Proteste. Kein Warten auf Erlaubnis. Schaffe das, was die Freiheit Wirklichkeit werden lässt, und gib es dann weiter, damit niemand es dir wieder wegnehmen kann.
Fünfzehn Jahre später tat Satoshi genau das. #Bitcoin war keine Forderung an die Regierungen, das Geldsystem zu reformieren. Es war funktionierender Code, der das Problem löste und öffentlich veröffentlicht wurde, sodass niemand ihn zurückrufen konnte.
Hier liegt die Lehre, die das Manifest überdauert hat: Rechte, um die man bitten muss, können widerrufen werden. Rechte, die man in funktionierenden Code einbaut, gehören einem für immer.
Unabhängigkeit wurde nie gewährt. Sie wird geschrieben. Manchmal mit Tinte, manchmal in Software.

from THE CYPHERNOMICON:
4.5.3. "The admonition, "Cypherpunks write code," should be taken
metaphorically. I think "to write code" means to take
unilateral effective action as an individual. That may mean
writing actual code, but it could also mean dumpster diving
at Mycrotronx and anonymously releasing the recovered
information. It could also mean creating an offshore digital
bank. Don't get too literal on us here. What is important
is that Cypherpunks take personal responsibility for
empowering themselves against threats to privacy." [Sandy
Sandfort, 1994-07-08]

Yesterday I attended the Neocypherpunk Summit in Berlin with hundreds of people from various backgrounds who all care about the human right to privacy.
The term “cypherpunk” used to refer to extremely technical lone wolves who dedicated their lives to privacy. Thankfully, it has now evolved into a movement where anyone who cares about privacy is welcome, no matter their background. In one day I heard talks from human rights organisations, activists, engineers, academics, and philosophers.
People care about privacy to differing degrees and for various reasons. Some people need to protect their safety, some want to chat with their loved ones in a safe space, while others simply don’t want their data to enrich a tech oligarch who they don’t trust.
Privacy doesn’t mean isolating yourself from society, it is about the right to choose what information you share with whom. Yesterday was the opposite of isolation, with hundreds of people making friends, sharing ideas, and feeling inspired.

3.4. Beliefs, Goals, Agenda
3.4.1. "Is there a set of beliefs that most Cypherpunks support?"
+ There is nothing official (not much is), but there is an
emergent, coherent set of beliefs which most list members
seem to hold:
* that the government should not be able to snoop into our
affairs
* that protection of conversations and exchanges is a basic
right
* that these rights may need to be secured through
_technology_ rather than through law
* that the power of technology often creates new political
realities (hence the list mantra: "Cypherpunks write
code")
+ Range of Beliefs
- Many are libertarian, most support rights of privacy,
some are more radical in apppoach

2.5.17. "Will strong crypto help racists?"
- Yes, this is a consequence of having secure virtual
communities. Free speech tends to work that way!
- The Aryan Nation can use crypto to collect and disseminate
information, even into "controlled" nations like Germany
that ban groups like Aryan Nation.
- Of course, "on the Internet no one knows you're a dog," so
overt racism based on superficial external characteristics
is correspondingly harder to pull off.
- But strong crypto will enable and empower groups who have
different beliefs than the local majority, and will allow
them to bypass regional laws.

Dall’altro? Noi. Il #Cypherpunk con il potere nel palmo della mano. Niente intermediari ficcanaso, niente burocrati corrotti. Niente tasse... quasi😉

Agreed. We can still use cash, trade and crypto-currencies for transactions. We can also use encryption for communications.
There's some things we can do and I think it is better to do something than just give up and say "there's nothing that can be done - it's too late".

Extropainism was (is?) a huge influence on my thinking especially as a young person. The transhumanist philosophy integrated cypherpunk cryptography, cybernetics, free-market economics, cryonics, nanotechnology, AI and space futures into a coherent ethos for the future.
Now ~30 years later, it's something of a disappointment to see how much these ideas have become silo'ed off into corners that don't really talk to one another. See more in comments...

BREAKING! GnuPG introduces quantum-resistant ML-KEM (Kyber) as encryption algorithm!
https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-announce/2026q2/000504.html
This is great news! However, as I've been saying for a while, we should stop considering Harvest-Now-Decrypt-Later as the only thing to be immediately concerned about. The problem of signatures (Trust-Now-Forge-Later) is wrongly assumed to be way less urgent, but the reality is that rolling out a certificate migration will be extremely painful, and quantum attacks against signatures will be stealthy and of difficult attribution initially. Especially for a project like GnuPG, it's extremely important to adopt quantum-resistant signatures ASAP.
