CRYPTO ECONOMY INCREASINGLY ANARCHIST

CRYPTOANARCHY INCREASINGLY ANARCHIST Submitted by Professor rat (not verified) on Wed, 01/27/2021 - 19:55 “…Although political, cypherpunk is overwhelmingly associated with right-wing libertarianism. Crypto- anarchism was initially conceived of in explicitly anarcho-capitalist terms, being a kind of society where economic transactions could be totally hidden from governments…” Anarchists began to arrive in the late 1990’s and challenged the right-wing consensus directly in 2001 ( see list archives ) And as for the suggestion anarchists don’t want to totally hide all economic transactions from govt…well… Meh. Fuck the government.
