Bram Cohen’s Torrents breakthrough adds another data-point to my thesis that the late-nineties and noughties were the real cypherpunk golden years. Proof of concept for APster - for revolutionary piracy - and for electronic peer-to-peer money.to cap it all.
An epoch shattering trifecta and 15 years, The start of a rolling, roiling global revolution from below!

Bram doesn't seem to mind being described as a cypherpunk and was certainly close to the list back then.
