The Cypherpunk movement

The Cypherpunk movement is a group of advocates who promote the use of strong encryption and privacy technologies to protect individual liberty and control over personal data. emerging in the late 1980s and early 1990s, they believe that privacy is fundamental for free societies, especially in the digital age. They develop tools like encryption software to prevent government or corporate surveillance, ensuring individuals can communicate, transact, and browse anonymously if they choose. The movement has significantly influenced the development of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, emphasizing decentralization and privacy as core principles.
