“Perhaps the single most important lesson I've learned from cypherpunks
is that code alone doesn't cut it. Not code alone, not code widely
distributed, not even code widely used. Some measure of toleration in
society for activities conducted in private is _necessary_ for long
term success. Not convenient, not easier, but necessary.”
— Eric Hughes. Cypherpunks mailing list, 1996.
