This presentation explores the intersection of Ayn Rand’s philosophical principles, particularly her emphasis on individualism and personal sovereignty, with the concept of privacy in the context of cryptocurrency. Rand championed the right of individuals to control their own lives, property, and decisions, free from external force. I'll be discussing how cryptocurrency—decentralized, pseudonymous, and resistant to centralized oversight—embodies Rand’s ideals by empowering individuals to safeguard their financial privacy against the surveillance state and institutional overreach. Crypto feels like a real-world spin on Rand’s vision, giving us a way to take back control. Ultimately, my goal is to show how Rand’s philosophy provides a compelling intellectual foundation for understanding and advocating privacy in our modern era.
