📢📢Announcing Pop-X Berlin: Ethereum & The CROPS Frontiers
Ethereum builds on top of the open and free internet and pushes the boundaries of censorship-resistance, privacy, open source, etc. But is this freedom and openness by default?

- Lira devaluation → crypto as financial necessity
- Government restrictions? Young, tech-savvy population didn't slow down
- Grassroots ecosystem: web3 startups, university clubs, devs, academia → economic pressure meets passion for education, inclusion, global connectivity

The internet got weird. Middlemen everywhere, algorithms deciding what you see, your data sold to the highest bidder.
Want to see what the internet looks like when users actually control it?
Join Pop-X Berlin at @fullnode_berlin
Announcement of speakers and partners is coming soon.
Stay tuned!
The walls aren't all the way up yet.

Rough Program
Section 1: Casual Network & Intros.
A session for participants to share what they’re working on and where collaboration could happen.
Section 2: Talks & Discussion
Lightning talks across Ethereum, ZK, AI safety, and open hardware, followed by an open discussion.
The new EF Mandate is getting a lot of attention: steward, not ruler, anchored in Censorship Resistance, Open Source, Privacy, and Security. We think this is brilliant. ♾⛓️

Wrapping up Pop-X Kuala Lumpur with this vlog!
An intense and fun week of coworking and coliving with builders in KL, and those who traveled across cities and countries!
Recordings are shared below👇 Huge thanks to @ETHKL1 for the livestream and @ccacc_hub for the recordings.
A few talks weren’t recorded due to technical issues. They were incredibly insightful, and it’s a real loss we can’t share them with everyone. We appreciate the speakers and hope to capture them next time🙏🙏
