Fortunately, we have a solution…

This presentation introduces the Pubky protocol stack, its components, and how it enables us to take the web back from Big Tech using an open-source architecture. It also showcases the first application built on top of it, the Pubky App, highlighting the idea of a taggable web experience.

Centralized social media is broken—censored, manipulated, and driven by ad-based algorithms. But a new wave of builders is offering something radically different.

In this panel, key contributors to the Nostr ecosystem will share what’s happening under the hood of the decentralized social revolution. From protocol upgrades and UX improvements to monetization, identity, and interoperability—this is where the future of digital communication is being shaped.

Discover why Nostr is more than a Twitter alternative—it's a movement for sovereignty, freedom of speech, and open participation in the digital world.

In this talk, Pierre will present the key take aways from his latest book.
1) Energy is everywhere in many different forms: heat, matter, waves. Anything that has a mass, like a particle or an object, is a condensed form of energy while waves and heat are more diffuse forms of energy.
2) Energy self-organize in open systems called dissipative structures such as particles, atoms, molecules, ore, living beings, planets and the universe itself. Typically, a dissipative structure is embedded in a larger one, e.g an animal is a dissipative structure made of cells and part of a species, cells and species are also dissipative structures.
3) Dissipative structures, in turn, self-organize to maximize the flow of energy going through them. This is called the 3rd principle of thermodynamics aka the principle of maximum entropy production.
4) The 3 principles of thermodynamics (the science of energy) explain how nature works, including individual and social behavior in the human species and how a monetary system reduces the entropy of its users.

This talk explores how privacy transforms security by lowering defensive costs while raising the stakes for attackers. It examines critical areas like financial sovereignty, personal data control, and secure communication, and how privacy-preserving tools elevate these domains. Attendees will learn practical applications of Bitcoin for censorship-resistant transactions, self-custody wallets to reclaim asset ownership, and encryption frameworks to safeguard digital lives. The session blends theory with actionable steps, demonstrating how decentralized technologies empower individuals to neutralize surveillance and institutional overreach. Real-world examples will highlight the risks of poor privacy hygiene and the tangible benefits of adopting tools that prioritize user autonomy.

A deep dive into the muddy waters of sovereign reserve management.

In this talk, Reyna, Education Director at Mi Primer Bitcoin, explores the real-world challenges of scaling Bitcoin education, sharing personal experiences from El Salvador and insights from her role supporting global collaborations. She highlights growing risks from both external and internal influences quietly attempting to co-opt Bitcoin education and consolidate control, warning that without careful attention, we may find ourselves replicating the same centralization issues that Bitcoin seeks to escape. Reyna will discuss the importance of decentralized, open-source education, confronting diplomatic, political, and financial obstacles impacting Bitcoin adoption. This session will offer insights on how we can preserve the independence and integrity of Bitcoin education while ensuring it remains accessible, decentralized, and free from external influence.
