Nobody has to follow the Crypto Anarchy principles as well as no one needs to share libertarian values. Nonetheless, everybody is invited to modify, alter, upgrade, specify, expand/compress, and sharpen the following proto-philosophical notions once Crypto Anarchy (CA) needs its ideology to be more comprehensible and better defined.
Any copyright is not applied here — we believe that information belongs to everybody. Especially when it comes to CA. No one knows how many principles should be created: 50, 150, or 500. It depends on the public interest and the number of people who wish to be involved in the discussion. However, more is not necessarily better in this case. We rely on those individuals and communities whose crypto experience and creativity can add value to the CA movement for making this world smarter and happier.
All people are equal in their insignificance in the shadow of the Eternity.
Nobody and nothing except the very Eternity have a monopoly on violence.
Any personal attributes cannot represent grounds for an individual to dominate over another one.
Only self-efficacy can make an individual second to none, and even then only for a while.
Any State is an unjustifiable tyranny due to its own inefficiency.
Crypto Anarchy (CA) is not the absence of order, this is the absence of a social suppression.
CA denies any default subordination by admitting everyone equal.
CA does not empower the majority because the number does not determine the efficiency.
CA does not destroy any order since everything in this world is organized in an orderly manner. CA offers an order without dominance.
Nothing is able to lead the humanity to a total mess since our thinking is definitely structured.
Any revolution including the Crypto Anarchistic one is just a re-evaluation of the value systems
CA offers the tools for self-efficacy improvement and leaves the right to use them to each individual.
CA practices the ultimate tolerance considering all social contracts, philosophical systems, religious cults, and other various constructs of human intellect equally bogus. At the same time, CA recognizes their right to exist in the system of thought of any given individual.
CA equates one with many since only the peer-to-peer (p2p) paradigm is acceptable in any interaction.
CA does not improve relations, it removes intermediaries only.
CA accepts any arbitrary self-identification being questioning any historical credibility.
All socially valid merits and achievements of an individual are irrelevant for CA: only self-efficacy in the p2p interaction is taken into account.
Any group activity in CA is a temporary consensus of the independent and equal individuals.
Any cryptoanarchistic project cannot be coercive in nature
CA is voluntary
CA equates the reality with the virtuality
All relations within CA are based on the requirements of effectiveness, whereas effectiveness is based on the private gain.
CA does not recognize any moral imperative if it elevates one individual above the others.
Any economic values and assets are conditional in CA. Only voluntary assistance is unconditional.
Geographical locations are irrelevant to CA.
Any political entities, state borders, and national constitutions are conditional in CA.
CA is arbitrary: none of crypto projects is superior to any other one by default. Everything depends on both the project’s effectiveness and the private gain of the project users.
CA is built on crypto projects, crypto projects — on code, code — on text, text — on word, and word creates realities.
Cryptoanarchists believe that land belongs to everybody, water belongs to everybody, air belongs to everybody, internet belongs to everybody, and information also belongs to everybody.
Everyone has a right to information, to all information available. At the same time, everyone has a right not to disclose one’s personal data as well as to delete, remove, exchange, disclose, conceal, that is to say, to do everything one wants with any information.
CA is not a political movement having no any official ideology once political movements deal with the State one way or another. CA ignores the State completely.
Being in the conflict with nothing, CA is not intended to exempt anybody from anything. CA just offers a different procedure of relations.
CA does not recognize any individual’s responsibility to society: an individual owes nothing to the humanity as well as the humanity owes nothing to individuals. Any exchange of values between a person and a society is to be voluntary and mutually beneficial.
CA is personal: any faceless mass is impossible in it. Any group of people, however numerous it may be, is a collection of independent, unique, and equal individuals in CA.
CA is temporary:any crypto projects and relations continue over time until they benefit.
CA is irrelevant to private property once it does not care about someone’s value system: everyone has a right to own everything has been obtained.
CA divides people basing on the only criteria of self-efficacy within p2p interactions. Any other conventional divisions (gender, age, nationality, health status, social rank, knowledge, skills, experience, size of property, IQ, group membership, historical origin, political choice, popularity etc.) are meaningless to CA.
CA appreciates the distributed ledger technology (blockchain) because it disperses the power.
Any decentralization project, be it blockchain-based or not, meets the spirit of CA because any center is conventional and therefore is unnecessary.
Being focused on personal responsibility, CA neither encourages nor prohibits any group activity.
Operating within the easily verifiable environment of blockchain, CA does not indulge any individual reputation: everyone is personally responsible for one’s own reputation while interacting within the p2p paradigm.
CA does not need to charge anybody with ethics: lie, fraudulence, and populism are disgusting in CA not for reasons of conscience, but because of their inefficiency resulting in the dismal consequences in the transparent and decentralized environment of blockchain.
Being intended to help homo sapiens to survive, CA is ruthless towards the cultural heritage of the civilization, whereas the current cultural code and value system of the contemporary civilization obviously lead the humanity to destruction.
CA is against copyright once copyright usurps the right to information and therefore usurps power: consolidation of power leads to the centralized world order.
CA declares that the very ability to control information leads to the unprecedented selfishness of the modern people and therefore to the power of centralized entities.
CA is against any involuntary hierarchy except the horizontal network-like self-organizations where any individual is not above the rest.
CA rejects any violence while the right to self-defense, whatever means and methods it may require, is appreciated.
CA does not recognize money (especially fiat currencies) as the only equivalent of cost of products and services: p2p relations admit any values for the purpose of set-off when they are acceptable by both peers in any given case.
CA does not call for any deliberate political actions in order to forcibly change the current world order.
Being the next evolutionary stage of human relations backed by the unprecedented efficiency of blockchain, CA does not need any deliberately forced revolutionary transformations since the CA-induced self-efficacy solutions contribute a lot to humanity and therefore lead to changing the entire world order as a matter of course in record time.
The above principles were not articulated when we developed our DApp project (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3G6GO7V7fnkS052d0lET0JQWWM/view) . However, they were bouncing around somewhere in the thinking sphere common for all humans. Connect to the sphere and join CA in order to make the ultimate personal liberty philosophically well-grounded
