  If anyone is curious, like me, what Cypherpunk means:"A cypherpunk is one who advocates the widespread use of strong cryptography and privacy-enhancing technologies as a means of effecting social and political change."[0][0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cypherpunk

  The crypto-oriented 4Seas coworking in Chiang Mai set up a very nice exhibit to cypherpunks as laid against the history of cryptography. I took pictures as the exhibit is supposed to have been taken down by now:https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/113373898014727437041/pl...I have photos of the individual exhibit pieces too if anyone's interested.

  Privacy for the citizens and transparency for the government. Sadly, all democracies are right in the middle of establishing the polar opposite.

  Lots of "digital cash" books there. I have to say that Bitcoin and Ethereum have not lived up to their cypherpunk ethos.

  I've been a bit out of the loop with Austrian Economics (last re-read of Human Action was ~15 years ago). I'm very well read in it and enjoy the aesthetics of the theories and the history of thought books but got very tired of the online flame-wars and the political side in general (both the pro- and anti-Austrians). So Praxeology of Privacy sounds like an interesting read, I'll give it a go this year.

  > THE CYPHERNOMICONI've peeked into that one. I've expected those people to be radical to some degree, but I didn't expect they write it down so clearly.This writing wants to see the collapse of governments and democracy. I find it painful to read such radical statements. So I didn't get very deep.But I am riddled how those people think a collapse of that scale will work out in their favor. They are deeply reliant on technology and the first thing to happen on collapse, is that many lights turn off.

  Side note: I love literature, but I can not for the life of me understand how anyone can consider non-fiction enjoyable to read. Informative, perhaps interesting, yes, but enjoyable? Heck no. Take me as far away from reality as possible.Though, of course, to each their own.

  Everything on the Internet is public domain, up for grabsIn the past you could argue about legal stuff but now the LLM training companies have proven that beyond all doubt, it is not only possible but even legal to use any Internet material as you see fit.
