Yeah this might be appreciated way more by those who have some kind of "connection" with/to him already. I first learned about Moxie by watching his sailing documentary Hold Fast[0] (I'm an avid sailor in a similar low-tech gritty way as him) although I just thought he was some random dude. It was only years later, after having used Signal for some while that I actually made the connection.
I have lots of respect for the man and love his thinking, writing and outlook on things. His blog[1] has a lot of good reads.
He's also the creator of the Anarchist Yacht Club and has produced voice content for Audio Anarchy audiobooks. In his documentary about sailing (Hold Fast, it's really good) he flies a black flag.
Just saying, there is more evidence towards his anarchism than just zealousness towards crypto.
Moxie Marlinspike's documentary "Hold fast" (2010) [1] inspired me to learn how to use a sextant. Most of the sextants you can get on eBay these days are just for decoration, however.

The sailing documentary they briefly mention in the article is called Hold Fast. If there are any HN readers that are into sailing I highly recommend it.

If you are interested in anarchic sailors check out Moxie Marlinspike's "Hold Fast" documentary: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8105879
Mmm, that isn't strictly true. From what I've read his anarchist-leaning sailing documentary "Hold Fast" is... controversial, in sailing circles.
Watch his documentary "Hold Fast" to get a glimpse of just how unique and interesting a character he is. Anarchists yachting? Yes, more, please
