Like most cypherpunk ideas - bitcoin, TOR, bittorent - it has a fatal
flaw - it doesn't actually work as advertised.

As much respect as I had and have for Tim May, I believe that in this statement he is oversimplifying the situation.First off, I was unaware of the existence of cypherpunks list as of January 1995, when I thought of the idea that I called assassination politics. I actually knew of Tim may,
"assassination politics" boils down to be being a minor variant on
a well-established topic: the use of untraceable payments for contract
killings.
