The annual Oslo Freedom Forum by the Human Rights Foundation is underway in Oslo, Norway. The event, June 3-5, has convened an interdisciplinary group of activists, artists, technologists and entrepreneurs seeking to support freedom fighters and humanitarian initiatives in opposition to authoritarian regimes around the world.
The event concludes June 5th with Bitcoin programming for the Financial Freedom Track and is available for viewing on the Bitcoin Magazine X (Twitter), YouTube, Facebook and LinkedIn social media channels.
