BCC 2025 Building the Second Realm: The future of The Cypherpunk Movement| Barcelona Cyphers Conference 8333 Max Hillebrand advocates building a "Second Realm" parallel economy using Bitcoin, Nostr (distributed messaging), and anonymous cash systems (Cashu, Fedimint) to operate outside state control.
