No. There were hundreds of cypherpunks with different goals, ideologies and world views. • Digicash was the "payments". • RPOW, then BitGold were the "store of value + payments" (which are inseparable). The latter were the correct models and Bitcoin is designed after them.https://twitter.com/adam3us/status/1165200774655369216 …

Replying to @TokenHash
The whole idea of having an independent currency, rather than just more private or censorship resistant payments for existing currencies, didn't exist among either cypherpunks or academic cryptographers until libertarian futurists introduced it.

Didn't libertarian futurists introduce it before the whole cypherpunk movement though? I'm referring to, for example, Hayek's thoughts. Cypherpunks eventually made it happen, right?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYhEDxFwFRU&t=19m23s …

Hayek's thoughts made their way into the cypherpunks via the libertarian futurists.
