Title: A small summary of Cypherpunk Post by: PytagoraZ on June 30, 2023, 03:41:22 AM Cypherpunk is an activity, movement, or concept that began to be widely discussed in 1980/1990. This group emphasizes social and political change through cryptography. The basic idea behind cypherpunk is privacy, transaction anonymity and reputation.

These Cypherpunk groups aren't just regular people, some of them are experts. they do understand ciphers and capable of writing software. One of the highlights is, the concept of cryptography in 1970 was first developed in secret by the military and spy agencies, until in 1980 this document was leaked to the public so that many people were talking about it.

I don't know cypherpunk yet and I'm having a hard time understanding it. Maybe the discussion will make me quickly understand the concept of cypherpunk (in my opinion this is the basis for the formation of bitcoin) Edit : Bitcoin Prehistory (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5126554.0) Title: Re: A small summary of Cypherpunk Post by: Mia Chloe on September 22, 2023, 03:36:57 AM Cypherpunk is an activity, movement, or concept that began to be widely discussed in 1980/1990.

According to an article I read the cypherpunk wanted a more unique digital currency which led to the creation of Bitcoin.
