PP Present & Future
Guatemala city, 30.1.2020
#1 Disillusionment
Liberation movement always was/is/will be a minority thing
Democratic system based on the majority of votes cannot provide us more freedom or lead to a more free society
#2 Paradigm clash
Clash of centralized and decentralized paradigm:
We cannot use the rules of centralized paradigm to embrace decentralized paradigm.
It doesn't make sense and it always cripples new technology.
#3 Prepare for the worst
- The authoritative government will survive in the following 20 years and will be even more authoritative
- KYC v5 - ban of truly anonymous cryptocurrencies at exchanges
- EET, eKasa shit
- The people using crypto technologies and crypto markets (trying to avoid the state rules) will be criminalized
- there will be many exemplary lawsuits against many innocent people (Ross Ulbricht, ..)
- Despite the precedents like Ross Ulbricht's case,
politicians cannot win their fight; they HAVE TO ADAPT to the crypto-anarchy / free-market rules- but this may be very painful - a lot of innocent people will be sacrificed during this battle.
#4 Hope
But we have a global Internet community connecting millions of different people with the same taste:
Taste for Freedom
#5 Build
Let's build & connect the global freedom-minded community!

#8 Expansion
Potential cities with crypto-anarchist communities:
- Kosice
- Panama City
- LA
- Santa Marta / Bogota
- Sarajevo
- London (fail?)
#9 Vision
- Become firstly Central-European, later global "crypto liberation think-tank" promoting freedom and privacy using crypto technologies (= Central European EFF)
- Become a safe haven for people who want to opt-out of the system (building & promoting of TAZ)
- Be technologically & personally better prepared for state infiltration (improve ostracism)
- Be an umbrella framework (providing space, people, technology) for any compatible freedom organisations
- Fight for financial privacy (against KYC/AML, ban of truly anonymous cryptocurrencies)
#10 Parallel Polis 3.0
- 1978-* Parallel Polis 1.0 (decentralized movement in disidents' flats)
- 2014-2025 Parallel Polis 2.0 (physical places in multiple cities)
- 2025-* Parallel Polis 3.0 (virtual reality)
#11 Be strong
- Be aware of massive asymmetry between the government and individual
- It is hard to protect your privacy in the real world (physical security is the weakest point of most digital privacy people!)
- Most government attacks against crypto anarchy will use social engineering, few of them using 0-day exploits, the least will be against crypto
- They can always destroy you / compromise you if they want and have a budget
- Avoid the system, be agorist
- Do not be personal, do not create enemies
