The consensus among speakers was that education about Bitcoin and self-custody must be prioritized. Widespread understanding and accessible technology are essential to defeat the encroaching surveillance state.

The vision is a future where Bitcoin and similar technologies underpin a society that upholds civil liberties, free speech, and property rights, while resisting authoritarian control.
