“Feast on your life.”
… By Derek Walcott 
Here for the freedom tech.
This makes me so happy to hear! 🙏
Every week I write HRF’s Financial Freedom Report so you can stay on top of the news affecting people’s financial freedom.
Here’s a sneak peak at what I wrote this week👇 if you find it valuable, consider subscribing here: http://financialfreedomreport.org 
Pakistan temporarily suspends mobile phone services on election day. 📵
Netblocks said it also detected internet blackouts in multiple regions across the country and that the disruptions follow “months of digital censorship targeting the political opposition.”
Instigating internet blackouts may well be a new government tactic to infringe on citizens' right to information, suppress dissent, and manipulate election results.

It's hard to overstate the significance of #Bitcoin as the world’s first truly global, decentralized and open-source asset/money. This means that all efforts to advance #BTC adoption and use (even if the focus is hyper-local) accrue in many ways to the full global network of individuals and groups participating in the Bitcoin movement. How cool is that! On that note, a tip of the hat to a short list of Canadians 🇨🇦 (and Canadian residents whom we're officially adopting) who are having a pretty major impact on the Bitcoin global stage:

With my new role at HRF, I look forward to exploring the various ways people living under authoritarian regimes are reclaiming their #financialfreedom with new technologies. That’s why I’m excited to announce the launch of our newsletter, the Financial Freedom Report. 📰
The Financial Freedom Report will arrive in your inbox each Thursday morning and will focus on:
- the role money and banking play in the civil liberties and human rights struggles of those living under authoritarian regimes
- highlight how new monetary inventions like #Bitcoin can help secure more personal freedom for people even in the darkest dictatorship
- showcase real use cases from around the world
- and feature new tools and applications that can protect our financial freedom.
To my understanding, this is the first newsletter to explore the intersection between #humanrights and #financialfreedom, which means you have an opportunity to be at the forefront of this conversation. 🔥
Highly encourage you to subscribe here: https://mailchi.mp/hrf.org/financial-freedom-newsletter
The Global Bitcoin Summit was a gathering of minds sharing inspiring stories about #Bitcoin and its ability to combat authoritarianism, empower marginalized communities, and drive financial education.🌍✨

Two months ago, the Human Rights Foundation and Bitcoin Park partnered to host the Global Bitcoin Summit. It was a joining of #Bitcoin developers, builders, educators and human rights advocates from 55 countries trying to figure out how to most effectively spark Bitcoin adoption where it's needed most.
Here's a sneak peak of the Summit: https://youtu.be/i5tqQgJAjcU?si=d_4PteRvCswuFNrT
Hope you feel as invigorated as I did when I first saw this! 🤩
You can now keep track of the countries that are researching, piloting, and launching CBDCs with the Human Rights Foundation’s newly launched CBDC Tracker:
“The Human Rights Foundation — a group that says it exists to fight tyranny under authoritarian regimes — is launching a tracker that will allow the public to keep tabs on which governments are experimenting with CBDC’s. Its big takeaways so far: More than 62 percent of governments are going down the CBDC road, and autocracies are leading the charge, including China, Russia and Thailand.” — Politico
#CBDCs
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/morning-money/2023/11/14/a-cbdc-call-to-action-00126990
Yea very true. Beautiful that there can be different interpretations of it!
“What died didn’t stay dead. You’re alive, so alive.” — Marjorie lyrics.
Only a few understand the truth and depth of this line.
Bitcoin is inspiring people into possibility.
Aww thanks Vanessa 🥰
