 Listen to at least the beginning of this talk by Amir Taaki - a true crypto-anarchist, Bitcoin dev in 2010, and the author of BIP 1.

 Banger of a talk.

Cryptography is literally magic. We are summoning the power of nature and fundamental truth

 He's a Monero dev now. 
 I remember dark market and dark wallet by Cody Wilson. 
 Interesting stuff 👀 
 excellent, thanks for sharing 
 Listened to the full talk. Very interesting. What I wonder now: Does that change your personal view on Bitcoin, is it "dark" enough? 
 Amazing, thank for sharing calle! 
 i always have double feelings there, Amir's always had very outspoken ideas, but unfortunately they never led to finished, usable projects
i was hopeful about darkwallet, but after that became a debacle, kind of stopped getting my hopes up 
 Thanks for sharing.
