Cypherpunk

Cypherpunk is a movement that emerged in the late 20th century. It emphasizes the use of strong cryptography and privacy-enhancing technologies as tools for social and political change. Cypherpunks believe in the power of cryptography to protect personal privacy and individual freedoms from intrusive governments and corporations. They advocate for open-source software and decentralized systems to minimize control by centralized authorities. The movement has significantly influenced the development of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies. It promotes the idea that privacy is a fundamental human right and that individuals should have control over their own digital information.
