In the 1990s, governments tried to ban strong encryption. Cypherpunks printed RSA code on t-shirts to prove a point: you can't stop math. Three decades later, Bitcoin proves they were right: you can't stop math. You can't ban freedom. image When @Adam Back printed the original RSA code t-shirt in 1995, he showed that mathematical truth can't be banned. Today's limited edition version carries that spirit forward. Wear the code that challenged authority just by existing. https://store.blockstream.com/products/rsa-t-shirt-2025-limited-edition
