1/9 Cryptoanarchy is the realization of anarchy (as in "no ruler/coercion") by means of cryptography, it undermines observation and attribution, and is ultimately subversive.

Technologies of non-attribution, untraceability, opaqueness and confidentiality are its political tools.

2/9 The mission for cryptoanarchy is to build an unobservable and non-attributable economy from scratch.

This needs untraceable anonymous digital cash (commerce) and anonymous messaging via mix networks (communicaton) running on secure devices (a platform).

3/9 A great talk on the "The Project of Cryptoanarchy" by @TheRealSmuggler:

5/9 Nothing captures the vision of Cryptoanarchy better than Timothy C. May 's The Crypto Anarchist Manifesto":

6/9 I have "The Crypto Anarchist Manifesto" on my wall as a print from @CypherpunkNow to be reminded daily what I work for.

7/9 The novel that visualized the vision of Cryptoanarchy best for me was "A Lodging of Wayfaring Men" by @TheRealPaulRB:

8/9 @TheRealSmuggler described very well in "The Second Realm" how we can bring the concept of Cryptoanarchy in into the physical realm, which is absolutely necessary for the vision to succeed (we are physical beings, after all):

9/9 A non-comprehensive list of physical places and communities that work hard to make the vision of Cryptoanarchy are reality in the real world:

- meetup.com/Cypherpunk-Mee…

- @paralelnapolis

- @Paralelni_polis, which runs the best cryptoanarchy conference (#HCPP19, #HCPP20)
