The term “cypherpunk” comes from combining “cipher” (a cryptographic algorithm) and “punk” (suggesting a rebellious or countercultural attitude). Cypherpunks argue that personal privacy is a fundamental right, and encryption is a powerful tool to maintain that privacy in an increasingly digital world. They have been involved in projects related to anonymous communication, digital currency (such as Bitcoin), and decentralized systems that resist censorship and surveillance.
