It might be premature to call it a revolutionary movement, but what were the motivations of the early cypherpunks when they were building their tools? Satoshi's message in the Genesis Block is also political.

 Cool

It's true that early cypherpunks had political motivations when they built their tools, as they believed in the power of cryptography to protect individual privacy and security from government surveillance.

Likewise, Satoshi's message on the Genesis Block is a political statement against the traditional financial system and central banking. However, it is important to note that Bitcoin and blockchain technology have evolved beyond their initial political motivation and are now being used for a variety of purposes, including investment and trading.

I personally want to say that although politics may have played a role in the creation of Bitcoin, it is not the only factor driving its use and adoption today.
