Want to thank HRF, @gladstein and team for this fantastic opportunity to exchange ideas and learn from human rights activists and Bitcoiners from all over the world. It was inspiring and very motivating. Onwards!

First day and first time in New Zealand and I already exchanged BTC to cash with a complete stranger. Bitcoin is the people’s network. Thanks for connecting @TIP_NZ

Yesterday I helped someone in Lebanon to download and install a Bitcoin wallet. I was in the USA. After about one hour back and forth we sent emergency relief money that was received within seconds. The answer was: „today I won’t be able to sleep 🤯😇“ expressing the surprise that this really works. #FreedomMoney

Use @SimpleX Chat messenger! It gives you the best #privacy protection. Unlike #Signal it doesn’t need your phone number. #Telegram and #WhatsApp not only want your phone number they collect loads of data and metadata from your device.

In authoritarian countries this metadata can cost you your life!
