[liberationtech] [cryptography] a Cypherpunks comeback

[Ximin Luo]

+1, especially since we are trying to promote the idea that crypto is *not*
just for terrorists.

If you are trying to make the point that "by the govt's definition we are all
terrorists" then at least say so somewhere clearly and intelligently (i.e. not
a wall of text that everyone will skip), rather than relying on subtle, uh,
"higher-level", humour that most of us without a literature degree will not
understand.
