Many cryptocurrency news outlets or blogs like coindesk mention that bitcoin helped to boost the cypherpunk movement. While reading their 1993 Manifesto, they made lots of promises about maintaining privacy and use of electronic money, which today bitcoin is the electronic money, but its privacy doesn't seem 100 percent guaranteed. Though, in their term they defined privacy as an information the whole world is not meant to know, yet in the world of crypto today almost every huge transaction, bitcoin worth billion, fly around in news blogs and people can detect who sent the money. Like the US government transaction. Aside the centralized firms and KYC, how come bitcoin address are traced, guessed correctly and detected easily who is behind it? What do you think the cypherpunk are doing to keep the privacy of electronic money like bitcoin safe and secure? or are they a different group with different goal?
Between their manifesto said lot of useful things that every bitcoiner would want to read.

The cypherpunk movement was certainly one of the main influences that led to the creation of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general. Many of the principles they advocated in their 1993 manifesto continue to be relevant today, and many of them continue to work to develop technologies and protocols that can ensure privacy and security in digital life.
There are several techniques that cryptocurrency developers are implementing to improve the privacy of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. For example, "mixing" technology allows transactions to be mixed up, making it more difficult to follow the flow of funds.
