crypto-anarchist

Like what if some crypto-anarchist after learning how to code invents a decentralized currency and undermines the banking system.

Wei Dai, who was cited in the original bitcoin whitepaper, was also a cypherpunk, and praised Tim May's crypto-anarchist manifesto.

Satoshi, who one can argue, is a libertarian/crypto-anarchist allegedly holds 10% of all Bitcoins.

The libertarian, crypto-anarchist ideology is inherent to all cryptocurrency, not inherent to Bitcoin.

Of course, that'll be a harder reality for the crypto-anarchist/libertarians to swallow.

His only consolation is that he thinks it won't work, but that doesn't change the black, black intentions of Satoshi Nakamoto and his Crypto-anarchist crew.

I think an even better example of potential crypto-anarchist success is legal advice.

This was the sort of thing I used to say before I realized that the crypto-anarchist manifesto was written in 1992 and none of the stuff it predicted has happened.

This is a good example of why I haven’t been willing to get involved in Bitcoin so far, despite finding it fascinating: we’ve known since May presented the Crypto-Anarchist Manifesto at Hackers (1989?) that a likely endgame of anonymous digital currencies was that governments would lose their ability to impose capital controls and indeed taxes.

I have no idea if it's possible to design a decentralised crypto-currency without all this pointless thrashing, it may well be, but the currency designs I know of from the crypto-establishment (rather than the cipherpunk/crypto-anarchist community) tend to be far more featureful and elegant, and their security is based on mathematical constructs rather than brute force.

It's only "invalid" according to The Man; if you were running a (hypothetical) crypto-anarchist browser you'd have no problem.

And more regulation isn't helping the "crypto-anarchist" decentralization angle either.

"You need to spend an extra 30,000 to get this to work for the 3 crypto-anarchist wannabes who live in your state".

Actual money is "a better thing than Bitcoin for all of its current uses" other than speculation (for which we have tulips) and crypto-anarchist fetishism (for which no better solution is available).

Crypto-anarchist communities are made of people.
