Chapter Chapter 1 in The Bitcoin Dilemma, 2022, pp 5-12 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The Cypherpunk generation was proud and intelligent. Like many smart and well-educated young males, they are sympathetic to the writings of Ayn Rand and her sense of resourcefulness and self-sufficiency in spite of government and institutions determined to discourage independence and creativity. Indeed, they have faith in the marketplace for ideas and for democracy itself, albeit in a different and decentralized form than we see in a republic. They also inspired a new digital currency.
