Their peak arguably came during Project Chanology, an effort aimed at delegitimizing and degrading the power of the Church of Scientology. They attacked websites, published secret information, and even sent a near-naked man covered in pubic hair and vaseline to trash a Church location. Bless you, Agent Pubit. <\/p>\n<p>In recent years, their successes have been fewer while their threats have been many. Recent targets include the government of Nigeria, the Minneapolis police department, and the prison system of Thailand. In all instances, it\u2019s unclear what, if any, battles they managed to win. <\/p>\n<p>The efficacy or legitimacy of Anonymous&#8217; efforts are almost irrelevant, however.

Satoshi chose to step away from his creation, freeing the tech of statements like Anonymous&#8217;. Bitcoin doesn&#8217;t need anyone&#8217;s help; it&#8217;s an elegantl designed network which will all but certainly outlast Elon Musk, and it may even outlast all memory of his achievements. <\/p>\n<p>This is how cypherpunks fight: with code, not cosplay.
