The event focused on "Re-claim Democracy," uniting activists, thinkers, and leaders to tackle rising authoritarianism and show how bitcoin promotes financial freedom.

“The Oslo Freedom Forum, held annually by the Human Rights Foundation, has become a worldwide cornerstone for human rights activists. This year, the 16th edition of the forum was centered around the theme “Re-claim Democracy.” It brought together activists, thinkers, and leaders to discuss the challenges of rising authoritarianism and how bitcoin can support activists fighting against oppressive regimes.”

    Read about scaling layers (L2 and L3s) it absolutely scales. You can use one L1 transaction to create a lightning channel, you can then have an infinite number of transactions in that channel between you and any partie(s) you want. All off-chain. The chain secures these transactions by being the enforcement mechanism. Just like a contract works because you can run to a court and get it enforced. The court only handles 1% of contracts ever written. Courts scale, Bitcoin scales.
