The Oslo Freedom Forum, held in Norway's capital, was a standout event among the many conferences attended by a seasoned Bitcoin journalist. This unique gathering of activists, entertainers, and thought leaders from around the globe offered a platform for the exchange of ideas on a wide range of topics, including Bitcoin and financial freedom tools. Twitter founder Jack Dorsey and Bitcoin advocate Lyn Alden were among the speakers. The journalist described the forum as a "thought spectacle" and a "clarion call for freedom, perseverance, and human endeavor." Despite not being a Bitcoin conference, the journalist said if he had to choose one event to attend next year, it would be the Oslo Freedom Forum.
