Definitely not everything in the Bitcoin space is cypherpunk, and not all cypherpunk is bitcoin. A cypherpunk by my definition is just someone who comes up with a very elegant solution to a problem. (hence the motto: "Cypherpunks write code.")
100% - The cypherpunk movement is a crypto-anarchist movement at it's core I think. Can't remember which podcast I heard this on sadly but the speaker basically said something which resonates with me still...
"Bitcoin is like punk rock. Except instead of just yelling at the "man", you take action."
The same way the KISS army or the TOOL army unite under a common mindset, I think the Cypher/Cyber Punks do so as well.
