Neo-cypherpunk is lunarpunk. For years I’ve been arguing for a reframing of cypherpunk along these lines: From individuals to squads, From anti-state to non-state, From dystopian privacy to generative anonymity. The original promise of crypto was pure. But it was co-opted by the system and by centrists who wanted to use crypto to perfect existing financial institutions. Crypto generated an image of itself (weak, apologetic and defanged) that destroyed it from the inside. The question I had was: is there something in crypto's memetic heritage that created this trap? Perhaps cypherpunk was too reactive, too individualist. Everything in its aesthetics was focused on negativity and inversion. Perhaps this was limiting its scope and confining crypto to be a mirror image of the system, never truly able to surpass it. We needed a new memetic landscape that was active rather than reactive. Oriented toward real revolution and guided by a utopian vision of what anonymity could do. We chose anonymity rather than privacy as our defining term since privacy felt too wrapped up in the old defensive paradigm. Privacy is sad and closed off. Anonymity is active, aggressive, vitalist. We spoke of squads rather than individuals, not because we're collectivists but because we had a big, wide, expansive vision that required many people to work together toward massive change. DarkFi calls this new paradigm "lunarpunk." The web3privacy crowd calls it "neo-cypherpunk." The aesthetics differ quite a lot. It doesn't really matter. What matters is it feels that crypto has become trapped in a relentless discussion of terminology. I'm bored of discussing lunarpunk, solarpunk, cyberpunk, cypherpunk, and neo-cypherpunk. This no longer feels like a healthy, energetic retvrn to the original values of crypto. Rather it feels more like a paranoid preoccupation with crypto's self-image. Nick Land says: "An animal attending to the operation of its own organs is sick." Action happens on the outside. When it turns inward, it becomes pathological. Crypto's relentless self-questioning has started to feel like a disease. I'm more interested in facing outward to the world and to the future. Escaping from the repetition of old symbols and self-referential purity spirals. I love cypherpunk and crypto-anarchy. But why are we still stuck in visions from the 90s? It's time to leave the old symbols behind and create something new. We are in a fundamentally new paradigm. Everything has changed. No new terms can keep up with this relentless forward march. Nor should they. Code is a cybernetic intensity capable of reorienting the world in ways we cannot predict. It's more powerful than language. It has a certain magical immanence since it does exactly what it says. That's why I spend most of my time today writing code rather than consciously creating culture. The culture follows us, not the other way around. Crypto has been been a phenomena for over 17 years. It has made so many beautiful promises. It has delivered on much less. It's time we find out what crypto can actually do. We haven’t seen anything yet.

@LegalFockery @JRobFromMN True

@JRobFromMN It would be funny if it weren't so tragic we live among the dumbest human beings of all time despite having the easiest access to information ever.

I see things like this from the left and it demonstrates a complete lack of understanding of the world, history, etc The Spartans had their way of life, they liked it and wanted to keep it The Persians were trying to invade and force Spartans to live their way The Spartans responded violently and aggressively ICE is doing exactly that, stopping and removing the invading horde Meanwhile the left is like "oh please, let the invading horde in", they literally think that stopping and removing an invading horde is tyranny We are living in two different realities.

To all the "I'm not Voting" in the next election. You sound like a bratty kid throwing a temper tantrum. Grow up.

@RemiliaRabbi Good boy!

how it feels to sniff out the ethereum donkeys smuggling their censorship slop through our cyber border

@CityofDenver These AI surveillance systems are a direct violation of our 4th amendment rights to freedom from unreasonable searches

This week, city council delayed a $150,000 contract with Axon to provide license plate reading cameras. They also worked on a plan to build a Family Health Center & a plan to ensure delayed housing projects can be built. You can tune into city council at denvertv.com

@CityofDenver We are private citizens. You are public servants. This level of corruption is egregious. Surveil the corrupt public servants and leave the people unmolested.

@TFTC21 Just run it locally to ensure access

Claude for Government is fully operational today. Anthropic built separate infrastructure to make sure the government never loses access. Regular users and developers are on their own. Or maybe it's not an accident... If you wanted to ensure foreign adversaries couldn't use the same AI tools the US government relies on, quietly throttling public access during critical windows would be a pretty effective way to do it. Probably just a coincidence.... or priorities.

Politicians speaking today are so fake it's astounding that most people don't realize they're acting. The general population no longer has a healthy distrust for government. They just think the "other side" is the problem. This isn't a high school sports rivalry. It's a slow march to stripping away the rights you were born with. Both "teams" are doing it - just back & forth like a pendulum so you don't notice as easily.

Vitalik's obsession with Milady is Ethereum's biggest challenge to date

@RemiliaRabbi @VitalikButerin 🍿

blocked by banteg and never once did he address a single criticism or point about milady, nor address his rampant antisemitism these people are disingenuous, pay full attention @VitalikButerin to the larps in the eth community trying to manipulate speech categories (historical nazi behavior)

@RodmanAi Claude

SHOCKING: 99% people using Claude are barely scratching the surface. Right now, the entire internet is screaming “Claude, Claude, Claude”... But here’s the truth: just chatting with it won’t change your life. To unlock its real power, you need to master: • agentic workflows • Claude Code • skills, automation & system-level usage I spent 100+ hours researching and compiled the best Claude resources from across the entire internet — videos, repos, guides, books, and papers. I’ll give it to only 4,500 people. To get it: 1. Follow me MUST (so i can dm) 2. Comment “Claude” 3. I’ll DM you the document 📩 If you don’t follow or comment, you won’t receive it

Return to cypherpunk ethos Return to anarchy

@accounting @MartyBent @TFTC21 Can you please point out the law that requires one to willingly enter into a contract with the IRS and sign anything? No? Why not?
