When we talk about the Cypherpunk movement, we only see their names written, in this post I have included the photos of some members and a link with information, Cypherpunk movement and those related to Bitcoin.

Cypherpunks are those who promote technologies to improve privacy and security in communications, mainly based on cryptography.
