According to Cointelegraph, Sebastian Bürgel, vice president of technology at Gnosis, discussed the cyberpunk values of cryptocurrency and the state of privacy in 2025 in The Agenda podcast.
Bürgel said that cyberpunk values oppose the excessive financialization of cryptocurrencies and believes that Gnosis is a force against this trend, focusing on infrastructure construction and user self-custody.
He warned that excessive financialization could increase the power of multinational corporations, cause cryptocurrencies to lose their cyberpunk roots and could lead to corporatization and censorship.
Bürgel emphasized that the cyberpunk spirit is still applicable to the current cryptocurrency ecosystem, calling on project developers to focus on social contributions rather than getting rich quickly.
