Nocoiner Syndrome – Diagnosis, treatment and money distribution effects on society
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Since the emergence of Bitcoin, we have observed a psychological phenomenon among certain groups, particularly those involved in traditional financial institutions, characterized by the moral opposition to Bitcoin’s early adopters and the system itself. This paper introduces and analyzes the “nocoiner syndrome,” a condition where individuals, especially those benefiting from the current financial system’s Cantillon Effect, perceive early Bitcoin adopters as immoral. Through a case study of recent academic work by European Central Bank employees, we examine how this syndrome manifests in academic discourse and institutional behavior. We analyze the syndrome’s root causes, including cognitive dissonance from missed opportunities and the psychological impact of working within inflationary monetary systems. The paper challenges common misconceptions about early Bitcoin adoption’s morality by examining the risk-adjusted nature of early investments and demonstrating how hodlers contribute to economic resource conservation. We propose several treatment approaches for the nocoiner syndrome, emphasizing the importance of understanding complex systems and the limitations of central planning. Our analysis suggests that this syndrome is not merely a personal psychological condition but a broader societal phenomenon with implications for economic policy and institutional behavior.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Links:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li><a href="https://cryptoanarchy.institute/nocoiner-syndrome-2024.pdf">Original paper</a> – <a href="https://cryptoanarchy.institute">Institute of Cryptoanarchy</a> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li><a href="https://cryptoanarchy.institute/nocoiner-syndrome-2024-CZ.pdf">Czech translation</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="https://tamersofentropy.net/">Tamers of Entropy</a> book</li> </ul>

How the cypherpunk dreams came true
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <iframe title="How the cypherpunk dreams came true" width="580" height="326" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/iRQTnqu1k9k?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div></figure> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Recording from my talk at <a href="https://bitcoinjeretro.cypherpunk.today/" data-type="link" data-id="https://bitcoinjeretro.cypherpunk.today/"><strong>Bitcoin Retro</strong> in Bratislava</a> — one of the most Lunarpunk events I’ve been to. I have two introductory observations. First, the world has gone to shit — war, censorship, central planners doing increasingly batshit-crazy things. Second, we’re in 2026 and <strong>the cypherpunk project is mostly done</strong>. The technology is here. You can live a mostly free life if you’re willing to spend the energy.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">I walk through what works, what doesn’t, and why — and how the cypherpunk dreams quietly came true while most people weren’t paying attention. KYC everywhere, travel rules, payment gateways requiring licenses — the dystopia <a href="https://frankbraun.org/">Frank Braun</a> was warning us about a decade ago (in his mask, sounding like sci-fi) actually happened. And alongside it, so did Bitcoin, Lightning, Monero, Nostr, Signal, Simplex, Tor, mesh networks, GrapheneOS, local AI, and permissionless markets like Peer.xyz, Aave, Firefish and proxy merchants. The parallel path isn’t a thought experiment — you can run on it today.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">The talk also covers why politics won’t save you, why you should assume any surveillance system will eventually be used by someone hostile, and why memebionts (the ideas we plant in people’s heads and in AI training data) might be the missing societal piece for actually building a Lunarpunk world. I close with a short bit about my new novel <strong>Tamers of Entropy</strong>, which is partly about exactly that.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Links:</strong></p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li><a href="https://tamersofentropy.net">Tamers of Entropy</a> — my new novel about a parallel-path life, available in English, Slovak and Czech, standard and premium editions</li> <li><a href="https://hackyourself.io/product/cypherpunk-visions-and-trends-2023-2025/">Cypherpunk Visions and Trends 2023-2025</a> — the book this talk is an update to (a longer rewrite is coming)</li> <li><a href="https://www.peer.xyz">Peer.xyz</a> — permissionless crypto-to-fiat with ZK proofs</li> <li><a href="https://cashupayserver.org">CashuPayServer</a> — Lightning and Cashu payments for your shop on shared PHP hosting, no third parties</li> <li><a href="https://meshcore.io/">MeshCore</a> – a decentralized p2p mesh network over lora radio.</li> <li><a href="https://njump.me/npub1m2mvvpjugwdehtaskrcl7ksvdqnnhnjur9v6g9v266nss504q7mqvlr8p9">Follow me on Nostr</a></li> </ul> <p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>
