@ryo @TerminalAutism @udon Crypto-anarchism is more of a strategy than an ideology. It's just a means to end the state, just like Agorism. Where Agorism seeks to end the state via parallel economies, crypto-anarchism seeks to end the state via technology like 3D printers, darknets, sneakernets, P2P file-sharing, cryptocurrencies, etc. Any anarchist whether it's an ancap, ancom, mutualist, syndicalist, egoist, individualist, left-market, maybe not anprim can be a crypto-anarchist.

I don't think Satoshi came up with the idea for crypto-anarchism. The ideology existed before crypto-currencies. Samuel Konkin III, the man who came up with the idea of Agorism, hoped that technology would lead to more black and gray markets and he correctly predicted cryptocurrencies, darknets, and 3D printers. Anarchists were also the first to embrace the Internet and even before that, dial-up BBSes. So it's a pretty old concept.
