Den amerikanske økonomen Murray N Rothbard (1926-1995) skriver i boka "The Ethics of Liberty": (my lineshifs and bullets)
"On the other hand, consider the universal status of the ethic of liberty, and of the natural right of person and property that obtains under such an ethic.
For every person, at any time or place, can be covered by the basic rules:
ownership of one's own self,
ownership of the previously unused resources which one has occupied and transformed; and
ownership of all titles derived from that basic ownership—either through voluntary exchanges or voluntary gifts.
These rules—which we might call the "rules of natural ownership"—can clearly be applied, and such ownership defended, regardless of the time or place, and regardless of the economic attainments of the society.
It is impossible for any other social system to qualify as universal natural law; for if there is any coercive rule by one person or group over another (and all rule partakes of such hegemony), then it is impossible to apply the same rule for all; only a rulerless, purely libertarian world can fulfill the qualifications of natural rights and natural law, or, more important, can fulfill the conditions of a universal ethic for all mankind".

I 1994 skrev Timothy C. May om "Crypto Anarchy and Virtual Communities":
"The combination of strong, unbreakable public key cryptography and virtual network communities in cyberspace will produce interesting and profound changes in the nature of economic and social systems. Crypto anarchy is the cyberspatial realization of anarcho-capitalism, transcending national boundaries and freeing individuals to make the economic arrangements they wish to make consensually.… Crypto anarchy is liberating individuals from coercion by their physical neighbors—who cannot know who they are on the Net—and from governments. For libertarians, strong crypto provides the means by which government will be avoided."
