Thirty Years of Crypto Anarchy
Timothy via Skype at Hackers Congress Paralelní Polis reflected on thirty years of crypto anarchy, the name for the version of a kind of anarchy where cryptographic tools provide the means for an un-coerced network of voluntary transactions. Many of the expected technologies have been realized: widespread encryption, anonymous remailers like TOR, file-sharing tools like BitTorrent. And most notably, Bitcoin and Blockchain-based systems. Ethereum for smart contracts and autonomous organizations. The prospects are bright.
