Taxis are cypherpunk. You can get into a taxi without showing anyone any ID or even phone number, or installing any proprietary app, and you can even pay in cash.

True, the bar can feel low 🙂 But sometimes that’s the point cypherpunk isn’t just about cutting-edge crypto, it’s about protecting simple freedoms we take for granted. Even mundane systems like taxis show us what’s at risk if we lose those defaults.
