The Crypto Anarchist Manifesto (1988)
I don't understand the barbed wire metaphor. Couldn't crypto have the effect of putting content that would otherwise be freely available in the current internet behind monetary barriers? Couldn't cryptocurrencies enable further control by monopolizing media industries? The technology is powerful, whether or not it will be liberating is to be determined.Edit: didn't realize this was from 1993! Amazing to read that perspective!
