Recently, the 28th edition of the Forum 2000 conference took place in Prague, one of the world’s largest platforms for discussing human rights and global challenges.

The conference annually brings together a wide range of participants, from political leaders and academics to religious representatives and activists, with the goal of promoting democracy, human rights, and sustainable solutions to conflicts with religious, cultural, or ethnic roots.

Bitcoin at Forum 2000

At this year's conference, held on October 13–15, the Human Rights Foundation (HRF) participated and highlighted Bitcoin as a powerful tool in the fight against social injustice. HRF educator Anna Chekhovich was present and reported on her X channel about a packed room where activists and major grant-giving foundations showed great interest in the cryptocurrency. Many participants even downloaded a digital wallet and received their first "satoshi" – an important step towards understanding Bitcoin on a deeper level.

Bitcoin as a Democratic and Peaceful Solution

The enthusiastic reception of Bitcoin at Forum 2000 demonstrates a growing recognition of its potential to promote democratic values globally. While traditional financial systems are often used as tools of control and repression, Bitcoin offers a decentralized and open alternative model. It is a currency that cannot be censored or manipulated by governments and banks, which empowers individuals and enables financial freedom even in authoritarian regimes.

The fact that so many major foundations – which have significant resources to support socially beneficial projects – expressed interest in Bitcoin marks an important shift in how the cryptocurrency is perceived on the global stage. Rather than being viewed solely as a speculative tool, Bitcoin is increasingly being recognized as a potential solution for protecting human rights and promoting social justice.

Bitcoin's presence at Forum 2000 represents a significant step towards establishing the currency as a real force for global justice and peace.
