Yess! So I’ve been to Oslo Freedom Forum the last three years and absolutely love how it has developed. This year there were lots of new stories, new faces - inspiring! I’m curious to learn what’s going on behind the scenes, both in HRF and in the NGO space. Is HRF regarded as the mad bitcoiner among NGOs? Are more of the organizations paying attention to bitcoin and nostr as freedom tools? And what’s next for HRF now that there is a new chair?

🙌

there are few more qualified to speak about bitcoin from a human rights angle to the mainstream. would love to see nostr:npub1trr5r2nrpsk6xkjk5a7p6pfcryyt6yzsflwjmz6r7uj7lfkjxxtq78hdpu speak to the likes of bill maher for example, and others (mostly left leaning) with a big following that just don’t get it yet

So happy you're having nostr:nprofile1qqs9336p4f3sctdrtft2wlqaq5upjz9azpgylhfd3dplwf005mfrr9spzamhxue69uhkummnw3ezuendwsh8w6t69e3xj7spz3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wcq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kueg6g89xw on tomorrow. I was just trying to tell my friends about #Bitcoin 's human rights uses. Admittedly I wasn't doing a great job, so I'm happy to be able to learn more use cases.

Very cool. I would be interested to hear “from the horses mouth” his take on the Israel/Gaza situation with recent shenanigans.

Regarding the criticisms of HRF blaming Hamas more than the IDF?

Yep. I don’t know the ins and outs - but sounds like people want some clarification on the position held by HRF / Alex.

Exactly, Alex has done some good work, but I’m also sceptical of NGOs, from first hand experience.

You’re talking about this right?

Ask him how he and his organization justify such high salaries
