https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/6c77bdc9-1c6d-411a-8251-c02e153fb188 In the 90s the term Cypherpunk became commonly used to describe a movement of coders who wanted to change the world via privacy-tools like encryption. They fought against the US government's war on encryption and won, and their legacy continues today as many of the most powerful tools we use for protecting privacy today were built by some of these early cypherpunks. I chat to 2 OG and legendary cypherpunks, Zooko Wilcox and Michael Tiffany, about the early cypherpunk years, how times have changed, and which battles remain the same today. 00:00 Teaser 00:58 Intro 01:36 How I got into tech and privacy 04:30 Havenco and Sealand 10:29 Early work 30:00 Cypherpunk mailing list 41:20 Surveillance and Culture 48:41 9/11 01:06:20 Surveillance capitalism 01:19:38 Financial censorship & bitcoin 01:35:52 Government & Finance = Zero Sum To support NBTV, visit: https://www.nbtv.media/support (tax-deductible in the US) Visit our shop! https://Shop.NBTV.media Our eBook "Beginner's Introduction To Privacy: https://amzn.to/3WDSfku Beware of scammers, I will never give you a phone number or reach out to you with investment advice.
