LATAM Bonds
With IOV Labs — the company behind RSK, the smart contracts platform built on top of Bitcoin — buying the biggest Latin American social network, Taringa, the pillars of crypto mass adoption have been set.
As one of the co-founders of RSK, one of my biggest dreams was using its potential, reputation and economical resources, for binding together a Latin American blockchain ecosystem. Picture that, a continent in which more than 50% of the inhabitants are unbanked, more than 650 million people speaking only two languages and consumers that are used to consuming content, media and news not only from their countries, but from any country of the region.
That’s why some of the biggest exchanges are opening offices in LATAM. Last week we took part of Binance’s meetup in Buenos Aires, and other players such as OKEx are already exploring ways of opening FIAT to crypto markets in the region.
The bonds within the community are strong, and you can meet most of the players at Labitconf, the biggest blockchain gathering in Latin America, jumping from Rio to Buenos Aires, from Santiago de Chile to Bogota, from Mexico DF to Montevideo.
It is in Labitconf, coming to Montevideo next December, where Amazon Web Services will engage the LATAM blockchain ecosystem, promoting its Amazon Activate! program tu support blockchain based startups in the region, the same support they have already granted to Flixxo :)
Social networks are vital for massive adoption and removing the entry friction into the crypto universe. That’s our vision at Flixxo, and that vision has just been replicated as Taringa turns into a token-based social network — or social economy —
2020 is going to be a key year for blockchain. Put together RSK, Taringa!, Flixxo, Binance, Amazon Web Services… This explosive cocktail has a huge potential of bringing up a grass root movement for blockchain
Mass adoption is around the corner. And it is beautiful being a part of it.
Keep BUIDLING
