This sounds like four truckers who got together at a diner and decided to do the craziest thing possible given their loads www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...

"One truck was carrying eight tonnes of butane cans, another was transporting resin, a third contained memory foam and a fourth was packed with alcohol, fuelling the resulting fire and explosions," Fire and Rescue NSW said in a statement.

This is both factually wrong and evidence that Back's roadmap wasn't towards bitcoin. Bitcoin is famously *not* anonymous, and it took almost another decade for privacy-preserving cryptocurrencies to arrive

quote from article

On April 30, 1997, he suggested creating an electronic cash system “entirely disconnected” from modern banking that would have four key attributes: It would preserve the privacy of both payer and payee; it would be distributed across a network of computers to make it hard to shut down; it would have some built-in scarcity to prevent excessive inflation; and it wouldn’t require trust in any individual or bank. To achieve the latter, he suggested a fifth component two days later: a publicly verifiable protocol.

All five of these elements later became core to Bitcoin.

Also a community that strongly felt that that the privacy that cryptography provides should be available to everyone (controversial at the time). Ergo, cryptographic tools should be free and open source. Again, this isn't identifying beyond the fact that Back was part of this community.
