Today in Berlin we marched for those who cannot. Ahead of the World Liberty Congress General Assembly, activists from across the world took to the streets to demand the release of more than one million political prisoners. Each name represents a story of courage, of families waiting, of lives interrupted by repression. We stand together because freedom is not a privilege it is a right. And no one fighting for it should ever be forgotten. #FreeThem #Berlin #WorldLibertyCongress #HumanRights #Freedom

Thirty six years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, new walls have been built. They no longer divide cities, but minds. In 1989, millions of people showed that no wall is stronger than the will to be free. That moment marked not only the end of an era but the beginning of a conviction: when people stand together for truth and dignity, no system of control can last. Today, the walls are harder to see but just as real. They are built with lies, fear, and silence. They rise whenever someone is punished for speaking or forced to hide what they believe. Yet freedom always finds a way. It crosses borders, survives exile, and outlives those who try to destroy it. The fall of the Berlin Wall reminds us that every wall eventually falls, and that freedom, even when it seems cornered, always returns. #Berlin #Freedom #Democracy #HumanRights #History

Bitcoin is freedom. When banks become tools of control and dictatorships weaponize the financial system, Bitcoin turns into a lifeline. It’s not just money, it’s resistance, sovereignty and survival. In Venezuela, we’ve seen this firsthand. When Maduro’s regime tried to silence dissent by cutting access to resources, Bitcoin helped us bypass censorship, deliver aid and keep hope alive when every other system had failed. Today it remains more than a technology. It’s the backbone of a decentralized and democratic resistance, proof that freedom can’t be confiscated. #Bitcoin

Intentan quitarme la nacionalidad. Pero la identidad no la otorga un régimen, ni se firma en un papel: se construye con convicción, con verdad y con propósito. La identidad es algo que nadie puede borrar. Ni un gobierno, ni un tribunal, ni una orden política. Hoy, en un mundo donde la censura y el control buscan silenciar a las personas, existen herramientas que permiten algo que antes parecía imposible: ser dueño de tu propia voz e identidad digital. Ese es el espíritu de las tecnologías descentralizadas como Nostr: un espacio donde nadie puede expulsarte, censurarte o arrebatarte lo que eres. Pueden intentar quitarte el pasaporte, pero nunca podrán quitarte quién eres. #Identidad #LibertadDigital #Nostr #DerechosHumanos #SoberaníaDigital #Venezuela

Estamos emocionados por lo que viene este 12 de noviembre en Berlín 🇩🇪 Democratic Decentralized Resistance será un punto de encuentro entre tecnología abierta, libertad digital y acción democrática. Un espacio impulsado por World Liberty Congress y Human Rights Foundation, donde activistas y creadores de todo el mundo explorarán cómo la descentralización puede abrir nuevos caminos para la libertad. En tiempos de censura y control, creemos que la resistencia del futuro no se impone: se construye colectivamente y se programa en código abierto. #DemocraticDecentralizedResistance #FreedomTech #HumanRights #Bitcoin #Nostr

Hace 16 años, el 31 de octubre de 2008, un mensaje anónimo cambió la historia: “He estado trabajando en un nuevo sistema de efectivo electrónico peer-to-peer sin necesidad de terceros de confianza.” Así nacía el White Paper de Bitcoin. Aquel documento no solo introdujo una tecnología, sino una idea de libertad: un sistema donde el poder no depende de una autoridad central, sino de la colaboración de miles de personas conectadas por valores compartidos. Hoy, seguimos esa inspiración, usando herramientas abiertas, descentralizadas y seguras para defender la libertad y conectar comunidades en todo el mundo. La resistencia del futuro no se grita: se programa. #WhitePaperDay #Bitcoin #Descentralización #LibertadDigital #Nostr

Jailed by a Dictator, Fighting Back with Bitcoin | Leopoldo López Leopoldo López is a Venezuelan opposition leader, former political prisoner, and founder of the World Liberty Congress, a global alliance of democracy defenders and freedom fighters. In this episode, Leopoldo tells the story of how he went from mayor of Caracas to being hunted, imprisoned, and sentenced for “sending subliminal messages” through his speeches. He reveals what four years in solitary confinement does to the human mind, how he led a prison uprising from inside his cell, and the insane escape that finally got him out of Venezuela. Now living in exile, Leopoldo explains how he’s using Bitcoin to fight back. Funding resistance movements, paying doctors and activists when banks are weaponised by dictators, and building a new freedom network through the World Liberty Congress. Watch the episode here 👇

Sería bueno estar más activos en Nstr

Why I think Nostr is an alternative to people under autocratic regimes like Venezuela: 1) Inmune to Regime Control and censorship, so if the regime blocks social media (like it happened with X in Venezuela 6 months ago), Nostr cannot be blocked. 2) Decentralized and each user will own their account and followers. 3) Nostr is also a payment rail in BTC. This is KEY for freedom activists and regular citizens. At some point billions of $ of remittances will be able to be sent directly, fast and mega low cost. 4) Nostr is a BTC heavy community, these are people that take freedom and privacy very seriously. Freedom is the core purpose of millions who live under autocracy, so Nostr is at the intersection of financial freedom, free speech and political freedom. 5) expanding the community of Nostr people under autocratic regimes will be going to the frontline in the fight for freedom. There will be lots of learning and action.

I learned the hard way that it’s key to keep the key, I lost my previous key and opened a new account. Lesson learned. So this is my active account.

I’m Leopoldo Lopez from Venezuela, joined Nostr a couple of months ago but lost my private key, standing next to Odell, I’m here to bring Nostr to freedom fighters in Venezuela and around the world.
