The Hackers Congress In Prague at Paralelní Polis
Both Atlas and Paralelní Polis are firm believers in using digital tools to decentralize the current social, political and economic infrastructure.
Paralelní Polis is a well-known cryptoanarchy establishment in Prague, home to hackers and crypto-activists. Last year’s Hackers Congress was a huge success, with 500 attendees inside the three-story loft.
