Did you know? The cypherpunk movement was not a party or a company, it was largely a mailing list started in 1992 by Eric Hughes, Tim May and John Gilmore. On that list, people argued in public about digital cash, anonymous communication and how to turn privacy from a slogan into working code. A lot of what feels normal now, from encrypted chat to natively digital money, was first hammered out in those messy debates. If the future is shaped by whoever builds the tools first, who should be writing them?
