Cypher Punk Holdings

In 1992 a group of talented and committed computer scientists met up in Santa Cruz, California to discuss the new technology that was the internet. While they understood the internet’s enormous potential, they also saw the possibilities it would open up for corporate and state entities to invade privacy. They had grave concerns. Their solution lay in developing open-source technologies to defend privacy, especially cryptography. They became known as the Cypherpunks.
