Here are 3 modern day equivalents. Like Phil they have taken up the fight directly and put themselves in harm's way.

What you mention is the usual in working life, the principles are the origin, but money decides the way in professional life and for many it is more important the money than the principles.

Anyway I will try that this thread is dedicated to the birth of the Cypherpunk movement and the connection with Bitcoin.

I think it is cool, but I think some are no longer punks.

A punk to me is someone who does not conform to the norm and is kind of anti establishment. I think greed has turned some of these punks into posers. Clearly one of them is a real punk still (whoever holds all of those early wallets has not conformed to the norm).

Although if I was satoshi I would crash the market in a second just to prove a point to all the fiat lovers and then drink all the sweat tears on twitter, and buy back in and get double the fiat and bitcoin for free then use the fiat as my toilet paper.

For real tho, All of these men deserve unlimited money for their contribution to our species. If any of them ever created my system(based of a address being a child chain and each chain gaining duration from birthdate at a fixed rate, so we have trinkle up economics, with a tax fee on the network to support not miners but public projects like space exploration and garbage etc etc) and got it to work with some time banks. I would give them 50% of my time for the rest of my life, If they really wanted since they un-enslaved my kind, I would give them 100% of my time for now my brothers kids will not be slaves their entire life, like I have been. I hope these people in the op ate some of my cherries and peaches and not the bankers.

Anyways, Kudos to all of you gentlemen. I will see you on the other side. You are welcome into my universe, just know there is no such thing as privacy in the absence of duration You will know everything instantly or nothing at all by the end of it. Ignorance is not bliss it is oblivion, total awareness is perfect happiness.

When we talk about the Cypherpunk movement, we only see their names written, in this post I have included the photos of some members and a link with information, Cypherpunk movement and those related to Bitcoin.

Cypherpunks are those who promote technologies to improve privacy and security in communications, mainly based on cryptography.
