Building a Freer Future: Crypto & the Cypherpunks

​In the early 90's several hackers and technologists were inspired by recent developments in technology and cryptography and simultaneously frustrated with the state of politics (sound familiar?). To that end, they developed a philosophy and tools that could lead them/us toward a new strategy for preserving our freedom.

​In today's increasingly authoritarian world, the cypherpunk values that gave rise to the crypto industry are more important than ever. Guest speaker Josh David will explain how this ethos emerged, and how it can inspire tools for preserving freedom around the world.
