**Bitcoin and National Security 🇺🇸**
Discussion and Book Launch

Join us on Monday, September 30 for the launch of the new book:
**[National Security in the Digital Age](https://www.amazon.com/National-Security-Digital-Age-Statecraft/dp/B0D9J364RB)**

In an era where bitcoin’s influence is escalating, we examine its impact on national security.

This book reveals:

* How bitcoin is shaping the observed and theorized national security practices.
* How it foundationally reshapes the question of energy security in a world of skyrocketing energy demand.
* How it will revolutionize socioeconomics and impact the political landscape.

For laymen, civil servants, and policy experts of all backgrounds, *[National Security In The Digital Age](https://www.amazon.com/National-Security-Digital-Age-Statecraft/dp/B0D9J364RB)* brings together insights from leading thinkers in the field, charting a course for America’s continued leadership.

Several of the book's authors will be on hand for a panel discussion followed by audience Q&A:

* [Kyle Schneps](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kyle-schneps-7400361a3/), VP of Public Policy at Foundry
* [Matthew Pines](https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthew-pines-46377a8/), Director, Security Advisory at SentinelOne
* [Ben Kincaid](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-kincaid-4a388a251/), CEO of ReElement Africa

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.

Our next event will take place on Thursday, October 10th at 6pm with **[Troy Cross](https://x.com/thetrocro)**, a professor of Philosophy and Humanities at Reed College. Troy has been involved in bitcoin for over a decade, with a focus on the study of the present and future environmental impact of bitcoin mining. Troy is a fellow at the Bitcoin Policy Institute, co-founder of The Nakamoto Project, and serves as Advisory Board Member to several companies in the bitcoin mining, data center, and the renewable energy industries.

Troy will discuss his research and advocacy in a fireside chat with HRF Research Associate **[Zac Guignard](https://x.com/zacguignard)** with audience Q&A to follow.
