Cypherpunks were wrong about something. What are bitcoiners wrong about?

I don't feel the cypherpunks were wrong about anything at all... They foresaw the correct outcomes if they hadn't taken action... And were successful in their fight against these things, like the clipper chip and of course the export of munitions. And then later things too, like, ahem, central banking.

Were the "allies wrong" about Hitler conquering all of Europe?
