🔒PGP was the beginning of freedom, later followed by $BTC

🪖In 1991, Phil Zimmermann released a free program that allowed anyone to protect their messages with military-grade encryption. It was called PGP – Pretty Good Privacy. The result: the U.S. government banned its export.

But PGP was not just software. It was a message. A manifesto. A declaration that citizens also have the right to privacy.

Sounds familiar?

Decades before Satoshi published his whitepaper, Zimmermann was already facing a similar dilemma: how to protect individual freedom in an increasingly surveilled — and centralized — digital age?

Just as $BTC uses mathematics to shield money from interference, PGP did the same with communication privacy. Both emerged from the same DNA: the cypherpunk movement, which believed that cryptography would be the key to personal autonomy. In the case of BTC, with an essential difference: decentralization.

👇🏻Have you ever stopped to think about how many times a day you trust your freedom to systems that concentrate your information and operate for profit?

PGP sought to protect communication.

$BTC — the wealth.

Both, individual freedom.

The first was prevented from sharing.

The second — no one knows.

Both: wanted a world with more rights.

⚖️In the end, mathematics is not just fair. It is what remains when trust fails.

👇🏻If sharing cryptography was a threat to the State... What do you think they think of transferring encrypted and decentralized money?
