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

In the 90s they said RSA encryption was dangerous. @Adam Back thought the world was more dangerous without it and put it on a shirt. Today we're bringing back the tee that challenged authority just by existing for a limited run the on Blockstream Store. image https://store.blockstream.com/products/rsa-t-shirt-2025-limited-edition The shirt back displays shortened RSA encryption code in Perl. Under 1990s export laws, this made it classified munitions. Wearing it across borders violated export restrictions. They lost. Wear the proof. Limited run on Blockstream Store. image
