Etymology From crypto- + anarchy.

The use of cryptography to enable individuals to make consensual economic arrangements and transcend national boundaries.

  • This truism is the core of crypto anarchy. No central control, no ruler, no leader (except by example, reputation), no ‘laws’. No single nation controls the Net, no administrative body sets policy.2016, Vernor Vinge, editor, True Names, Penguin, →ISBN:
