My conclusion after reading "Tor: From the Dark Web to the Future of Privacy" by Ben Collier:
The interconnection between Bitcoin and Tor has not fully be identified in this book.
The main goals of the cypherpunks (public key encryption, anonymous communication, cyber cash) are all connected and have to work together to reach at an anonymous, censorship resistance value transfer protocol through cyberspace. However there is one non-technical element that has to be understood: Money has to be verifiable scarce and there can only be one in the end: Bitcoin.
Therefore Web3 and the broader term "cryptocurrency" are buzz words and distractions.
Tor on the other hand is integrated in many Bitcoin apps and some are exclusively running over Tor e.g. Bisq. It is happening.
