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. Source

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. Source

The RSA algorithm was first introduced to the public in 1983 by Ron Rivest , Adi Shamir dan Leonard Adleman - Source

Well-known list participants
Julian Assange - Source
John Perry Barlow - Source
And Other

Other sources ; Source 1 Source 2 Wikileaks

Main Article - Source

This is a small summary of an article. 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

Do you suggest the cypherpunk to be the pseudonymous entity Satoshi who created Bitcoin?  How ever. According to an article I read the cypherpunk wanted a more unique digital currency which led to the creation of Bitcoin. You can read more about it here. https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2016/04/09/bitcoin-and-the-rise-of-the-cypherpunks/?outputType=amp

No no, cypherpunk is a community of cryptography lovers, to be honest I've forgotten most of what I read because I read it about 3 months ago when I registered here and as you know, there's no discussion here so I forgot a lot of things that I read

Btw, thanks for the link you provided, I will try reading it
