## Resource

CK (HRF Director of Financial Freedom) and Femi Longe (HRF Global Bitcoin Lead) take the stage in their LIVE AT PUBKEY show at PubKey NYC to discuss the Bitcoin Development Fund 's mission to empower devs, activists, and human rights defenders across the globe—billions of sats at a time. Plus: Why the fund gives MILLIONS in BTC every quarter to projects around the world Why WhatsApp is NOT freedom tech... and why it still succeeds where Signal fails Do Bitcoiners preach too much—and build too little? Why marketing, unfortunately, matters just as much as math and fundamentals How (and why) to scale Bitcoin in the global south Why the world doesn't need another Bitcoin wallet or crypto exchange (and what the world needs instead) ...and more! ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ PubKey meetups are FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
