The cypherpunk manifesto, 9th March 1993
32 years ago we faced the same nightmare. I was 37 years old back then.
We must defend our own privacy if we expect to have any.
We must come together and create systems which allow anonymous transactions to take place.
People have been defending their own privacy for centuries with whispers, darkness, envelopes, closed doors, secret handshakes, and couriers.
The technologies of the past did not allow for strong privacy, but electronic technologies do.
Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age.
Privacy is not secrecy.
A private matter is something one doesn't want the whole world to know, but a secret matter is something one doesn't want anybody to know.
Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world.
