Anyway, since you wanted to talk about the wikileaks cable. Did you read it?

Yes I did and like I said I am not surprised you would find support for your own views in it, even though it overall just confirms what a bad choice that place is for a conference, which would promote Bitcoin in the public mind, as opposed to some other kind of conference.

Anyways. I have a book suggestion for you. Neuromancer, by Gibson. Cypherpunk (most definitely not a group) was coined much later, but is partly based on that world view.

I have read most if not all of Gibson's books as well as Neal Stephenson's books and many other "cyberpunk" authors. And as I said I am fairly familiar with the "Cypherpunks" although I don't know the names of all who choose to call themselves that. And it is so unusual to call people sharing a similar ideology a group isn't it? In any case I don't see how it changes the theory I pondered in any way. It's just something I found interesting. Nothing to argue about is it? But then you just like being argumentative don't you? Disagreeing solely for the sake of showing you are smarter than another or something. You are really helpful to this Bitcoin community aren't you?

*sigh*
