I acknowledge that the section I recently added was poorly translated from the German version of the article. I still propose to add a section about criticism of the concept and especially of the term "crypto-anarchism". I did academic research on the origins of the movement and none of the main figures that coined the term are in any way involved in genuine anarchism. The word "anarchism" in "crypto-anarchism" is referring to the absence of a state, just like it is in the term "anarcho-capitalism" which is quite a vulgar understanding of anarchism. So called crypto-anarchists propose a radical free market economy, which can be described as unleashed capitalism. This is the complete opposite of what any anarchist would endorse. Anarchism is about mutual aid, solidarity and the absence from any power humans hold over each other and not only the absence of a state in favor of an unleashed economy, isolation and in any way survival of the fittest.

There is research on te topic, that is not mine though:
"Crypto-anarchism is not an anarchism referring to the thought of the precursors of anarchism from the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. It is an individualistic anarchism with libertarian origins, promoting the use of new means and tools in the fight for freedom from state interference. It does not recognise traditional revolutionary forms of struggle for social liberation. It is anarchism of the 21st century, individualistic, modern, promoting the fight for freedom in the virtual world, the consequence of which could be freedom in the real world." (p. 84)
