🃏 Judith Milhon (St. Jude) on the cypherpunk movement

On September 25, 1992, Judith Milhon — writing as "St. Jude," the person credited with coining the word "cypherpunk" — posts an essay titled "The Cypherpunk Movement" to the newly formed mailing list: a fictionalized scene of masked figures debating RSA, pseudonymous economies, and encryption as the foundation of a new kind of privacy.
