**Shadowy Superheroes: How Bitcoin Core Developers Keep Freedom Money Alive**
with Gloria Zhao

Each month, the **[Human Rights Foundation](https://twitter.com/HRF)** and PubKey dive into specific HRF initiatives with a focus on how #Bitcoin and #FreedomTech advance humanitarian goals.

We're thrilled to partner with HRF to shine a light on how Bitcoin is a powerful force for peace and human flourishing.

Our next event will take place on **Tuesday, December 3rd** at 6pm featuring **[Gloria Zhao](https://x.com/glozow)**.

Gloria is a Bitcoin Core maintainer, primarily focused on the peer-to-peer protocol. Her projects include package relay (**[BIP 331](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0331.mediawiki)**) and TRUC (**[BIP 431](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0431.mediawiki)**), aimed at reducing censorship vectors and fee-bumping inefficiencies in transaction relay. She is sponsored by **[Brink](https://brink.dev/)**, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting open source Bitcoin development.

Bitcoin Core maintainers are a small (and often misunderstood) group who are responsible for merging contributions from other developers into the codebase.

Gloria will discuss threats to Bitcoin, past, present and future, why she chose to pursue grant-funded development over a corporate position, and how her views on privacy and the need for censorship-resistant payments drive her work.

Interviewing Gloria will be **[Alex Li](https://x.com/alexli98)**, Bitcoin Development Lead at Human Rights Foundation.

This event is FREE and open to the public. 🙏🧡🍺

This Time is Different: Analyzing the Current Bitcoin Cycle

**Join us for the next edition of the Foundation Self-Custody Series** at PubKey on Tuesday, December 17 at 6 PM.

**Multisig 101: Level up your Bitcoin security 🔑🔑🔑**

Multisig is an extremely powerful tool in the right hands, capable of protecting your wallet from almost all perceivable attack vectors – but it’s not without potential pitfalls!

We'll demonstrate how multisig works, and explore its many use cases for improving security, creating an inheritance plan, and removing single points of failure in a cold storage setup.

This presentation will be conducted by Foundation CEO **[Zach Herbert](https://x.com/zachherbert)** and Head of Customer Experience **[Bitcoin QnA](https://x.com/btcqna)**.

Pre-loaded Foundation Passports will be available for demonstrations, as well as for sale at PubKey.

Foundation Self-Custody Series: Multisig 101 🔑🔑🔑

**It's the Holiday Edition of Bitcoin History & Games with Rizzo! 🎄🎁📚🎲🤯**

**"GOOD MORNING, BITCOINS!"**

Each month Rizzo invites legendary guest speakers to the PubKey stage to choose timely topics related to the history of bitcoin, the network, the currency, and the people involved.

This is an interactive meetup, so attendees are encouraged to play along with BINGO, trivia, 21 questions, and more.

This month's guest is **[Thomas Hunt](https://x.com/madbitcoins)**, but you may know him better as Mad Bitcoins! Thomas created the **[Mad Bitcoins](https://www.youtube.com/user/madbitcoins)** show nearly 12 years ago because he couldn't find any entertaining short-form content about bitcoin on YouTube, so he decided to produce his own. A year later, he started **[World Crypto Network](https://worldcryptonetwork.com/)**, which is the longest continually-running talk show about bitcoin, featuring too many legendary guests to even name here.

Cram for the bitcoin 2024 final exam and you might just walk away with some great prizes, including a brand new **[Foundation](https://foundation.xyz/)** Passport!

Mad Bitcoin History & Games w/ Rizzo & Thomas Hunt – Holiday Edition! 🎄🎁📚🎲🤯

It's our first **Coin Based** since the 2024 presidential election, and my…how things have changed.

Ideas that only a few weeks ago were laughed at by pundits and commentators are now on the table, with Cynthia Lummis leading the charge right out of the gate with her November 6th xweet:

**WE ARE GOING TO BUILD A STRATEGIC BITCOIN RESERVE 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸**

So, we ask: How does this actually happen? How will the government acquire, HODL and use bitcoin? What's the strategy for the strategic reserve? What concepts of a plan does the second Trump administration have for long-term adoption?

Join us as **[Arbedout](https://x.com/arbedout)**, **[Thomas](https://x.com/tpacchia)**, and **[Drew](https://x.com/_drewarmstrong_)** ruminate on these topics, and answer your questions as best they can.

This is a FREE and PUBLIC event! 🍻🙏🧡
