How did you become a crypto anarchist?
What did you read, or see, or learn that pushed you in that direction?
thank you for your question rogever , it's a short question for a long answer..
I have always been a strong opponent to monitoring computer communications, and from several years ...
pro-Edward Snowden, faithful to Wikileaks, defender of the cause of Julian Assange, and support of Ross Ulbricht (by the way , his family has again recently received new blackmails of the authorities that are particularly unacceptable ...)
I'm a user of free and anonymous networks (Tor, I2P, FreeNet) since their establishment,
I consider the development and the use of cryptography are the best defenses against internet censorship problems ...

Privacy is probably the most difficult thing to secure .. to live happily, let's live hidden & encrypted
That's why I support initiatives like Paralelnipolis congress , darknet services providers like Arnarplex , support Amir Taaki projects ( Darkwallet) and so much more...(Tor, I2P, FreeNet) since their establishment,
