I
work
with
platohedro,.
We
are
an
organization
that,
for
18
years,
has
been
working
on
social
projects
with
science,
art,,
culture,
technology,,
and
we
are
looking
for
new
ways
to
cooperate,
new
ways
of
using
technology,,
creativity,
and
ancestral
knowledge
to
change.
The
world,
and
I
also
wanted
to
take
advantage
of
to
thank
the
foundation.
I
know
that
the
foundation
does
not
want
to
appear
so
much
sorry,
but
really
We.
Thank
you
very
much
for
bringing
so
much
money
and
making
this
great
production
of
Def.
A
That
is
very
beautiful,
and
thank
you
really
for
putting
an
eye
on
it.
But
This
is
not
about
either,
well,
Thank
you
for
discovering
us,
no,.
That
is
a
bit
what
we
are
going
to
talk
about.
Today,
no,.
It
is
not
a
bit,.
Maintaining
that
perspective
that
someone
is
coming
to
discover
us,
and
well,.
We
start
thinking
from
the
south,.
It
is
not
very
common
that
and
right
now,
they,
he
told
me
here
with
the
euro
Century
boxing.
A
It
is
very
common
that
sometimes
we
want
to
try
to
fit
into
a
solution
is
that
they
have
They
have
been
designed
thinking
about
solutions
of
what
they
have
called
the
first
world,
and,
well,
all
the
possibilities
for
the
crypto
option
in
Latin
America,,
but
that
crypto
option
does
not
leave
from
copying
models
or
importing
models,.
Rather,
we
are
the
ones
who
leave
to
give
the
task
of
building
these
models.
A
I
would
like
to
start
with
and
I
think
that
it
is
like
the
most
concrete
part
of
all
my
talk.
This
is
a
space
of
speculative
realism
and
I
believe
that
this
is
the
power
that
we
have
in
Latin
America.
We
have
the
possibility
of
non-human
non-One
dialogues,
the
possibility
of
magic,
the
possibility
of
intuition
the
possibility
of
the
jungle,
and
it
is
from
there
from
where
we
should
then
build
our
processes
and
from
there
is
where
we
must
allow
our
creativity
to
flow.
A
A
For
all
of
Latin,
America
I
would
not
say
so
much
that
we
have
little
capacity
in
the
state.
I
think
they
are
more
very
malicious,
but
something
that
is
clear
is
that
we
have
incredible
talent
and
I
have
seen
it,
especially
in
the
crypto
ecosystem,
is
that
there
are
many
top
developers
who
work
and
live
in
Latin
America
contribute
ecosystems
from
all
over
the
world
special
mention
for
the
people
of
Argentina,
please
In
other
words,
amount
of
money.
A
And
well,
the
points
that
I
wanted
to
start.
How
to
do
here
is
this.
Introduction
is
part
of
this
process
that
we
have
to
build
these
new
solutions
in
Latin
America
implies
international
cooperation
and
looking
for
friction
points
in
which
money
does
not
flow
to
the
places
where
it
should
be,
because
there
are
many
people
who
have
money.
There
are
many
people
who
are
doing
a
very
good
job,
but
sometimes
there
are
a
lot
of
things
in
between
that
make
it
difficult
for
us
to
do
everything.
A
So
it's
very
important
that
we
start
from
here
to
be
able
to
make
all
of
this
real,
well
hack,
private
property.
One
of
the
biggest
problems
in
Latin
America
is
latifundio
land
grabbing
by
part
of
some
productive
sectors
that
put
the
rest
of
the
population
at
the
expense
and
misery.
We
can
decentralize
land
ownership
and
we
don't
even
need
to
reform
the
state.
We
can
simply
look
for
communities
that
organize
themselves
to
buy
the
land
through
a
crowdfunding
purchase
through
blockchain
and
that
the
territories
are
operated
by
entity.
A
It
is
non-
profit
that
way,
we
could
then
establish
small
property.
That
are,
let's
say,
collectively,
operated
by
means
of
dice
by
means
of
blockchain,
so
sometimes
we
don't
have
to
knock
everything
down.
We
can
get
in
the
way.
Also,
let's
say
this
issue
of
buying
the
property
private
in
a
community
way
also
allows
us
to
hack
real
estate
development
And.
It
is
that
many
times
real
estate
development,
urban
development
people
do
not
think,
but
rather
you
think
about
the
contracts
they
have
between
them.
Us
buying
small
plots
in
the
middle
of
those
development
projects.
A
And
well,.
What
we
would
cause
is
that
to
protect
the
public
goods
in
a
spring
a
tree,
a
moor
They
are
things
that
serve
all
of
humanity,
and
all
of
humanity
should
be
responsible
for
protecting
them
and
I
believe
that,
with
this
triangulation
model
between
the
blockchain
community
and
non-profit
entities,
I
believe
that
we
can
achieve
it,,
which
is
why
I
would
like
to
mention
this
project..
A
Who
knows
him
here
at
defcon
who
was
born
in
Medellín,
and
that
makes
me
very,
very,
very
excited,
and
they
are
people
who
have
precisely
dared
to
make
this
model
of
trying
to
do
crowdfunding
to
buy
land
and
give
their
land
to
people
and
make
it
the
the
same
community
that
manages
And.
He
said
what
happens
with
the
territory.
A
There
are
many
people
who
are
trying
to
finance
blockchain,
like
you,
He
said
that
he
is
trying
to
finance
projects
in
Latam,
and
sometimes
it
is
very
difficult
to
access
them,.
So
one
of
the
things
that
we
can
do
to
do
is
create
financing
pools
where
a
financier
can
go
and
direct
the
money
automatically
to
some
processes
or
to
some
projects
that
are
already
established
that
already
have
a
reputation
and
thus
facilitates,,
let's
say,
the
rhythm
in
which
liquidity
enters
the
ecosystem,
true,.
A
A
It
is
one
of
the
things
for
which
investment
risk
is
classified
is
because
investors
do
not
want
to
risk
that
their
capital
remain
in
the
hands
of
an
authoritarian
government.
If
we,
international
cooperation,
work
through
watching
Then.
We
will
have
the
guarantee
at
all
times
that
the
money
that
is
being
used
for
social
projects
will
never
remain
in
the
hands
of
corruption
and
finally,
hacking.
The
budgets,
the
topic
of
the
agendas
and
the
distribution
of
the
budget,
The
public
in
Latin,
America
Generally,
makes
us
follow.
A
The
speeches
of
the
agents,
who
are
financing
and
not
It
should
be
like
this,.
The
financier
should
follow
the
communities
So.
If
we
create
our
own
pools
with
the
money
from
the
financing
that
we
all
obtain,,
we
can
manage
and
prioritize
that
financing
collectively
and
according
to
our
own
needs
and
well,.
This
is
the
best
part
of
all,,
not
that
it
is
facing
corruption,.
So
at
the
beginning,
I
told
you
that
perhaps
I
do
not
believe
that
our
rulers
are
stupid,
but
that
they
are
directly
bad
and
The.
A
Bad
guys
are
not
going
to
know
how
to
do
it,
except
out
of
malice
and
one
of
the
things
that
happens.
A
lot
in
the
matter
of
corruption
is
the
cost
overruns
in
public
procurement,,
in
which
a
plate
of
rice
costs
$100,.
We
can
have
transparency
in
real
time
and
we
can
detect
fraud
and
alert
of
these
wrong
contracts
that
are
being
made
in
real
time.
A
It
also
happens
that
sometimes,
in
cases
of
corruption,
we
realize
that
corrupt
agents
had
already
been
hired,.
They
had
already
been
discovered
and
remained
in
the
system
And
with
blockchain,.
Let's
say,,
thanks
to
cryptographic,
tests,
we
could
identify
who
these
malicious
agents
are
and
isolate
them.
At
the
moment
it
happens
and
not
let
these
parasites
continue
to
exist
within
the
system
and
what
I
had
told
them
about
throughout
the
entire
talk.
It
is
the
issue
of
removing
the
seam
between
the
processes.
Sometimes.
It
is
very
difficult
to
move
from
one
country
to
another,.
A
A
That
said,
is
Colombia
and
they
told
me
you
have
to
fill
out
a
commercial
form,
because
this
is
a
free
zone.
I
said
skinny,
that
is,
we
have
QR
codes
to
enter
the
places
and
well,.
You
are
telling
me
that
it
has
a
form
and
mark
them
how
to
overcome
the
chronic
and
I
feel
that
in
Latin
America
we
have
somehow
become
addicted
to
bureaucracy
or
the
state
likes
that
we
are
addicted
to
bureaucracy
and
well,.
A
Right
now
we
have
the
possibility,
with
blockchain
to
start
removing
all
those
seams
and,
well,
to
create
New
Bridges
So.
It
is
in
the
south
where
the
questions
are
born
and
it
is
in
the
south,
where
the
answers
are
invoked
in
June
I
was
talking
with
a
friend
who
He
would
tell
me
the
story
of
the
sub-Saharan
migrants,.
Then
he
would
tell
me
how
they
cross
the
desert
walking,.
Then
they
camp
in
the
desert.
in
Ceuta,
then
they
jump
over
the
fence
they
cross.
A
The
sea
they
arrive
in
Spain
to
sell
their
things
and
when
they
arrive,
they
speak
five
languages
and
evil
told
me
that
anyone
who
points
out
a
migrant
does
not
reach
their
heels,
because
they
are
tremendous
people
And
right
now.
We
can
see
it
in
The
Darien
jungle,,
which
is
the
only
place
where
the
Pan-American
highway
does
not.
Exist,
is
one
of
the
wildest
and
most
remote
places
in
Latin.
America.
A
B
A
A
Crazy
because
it's
seeing
so
much
patch
talent,
sometimes
stuck
in
the
hands
of
people
who
don't
want
things
to
happen
and
and
and
I
get
emotional
too.
When
you
say
it,
because
ue
is
seen
a
lot
all
the
time
in
all
countries,
so
many
people
leaving
Argentina
doing
such
good
things
and,
and
so
many
people
putting
sticks
in
the
wheel-
and
this
is
the
time
for
us
to
do
it
this
week.
There
is
a
phrase
that
said
that
in
1492,
the
original
peoples
discovered
Columbus
lost
at
sea
and
well.
C
You
very
much
you
propose
many
solutions
that
this
technology
For
all
the
virtues
it
has
allows
us
to
rethink
a
new
future
for
Latin
America,
for
Colombia,,
given
the
conditions
of
the
scenarios
that
many
of
us
already
know,
obviously,-
and
you
mentioned
it
there,,
we
will
not
face
each
other.
Because
each
time.
The
friction
between
the
technological
issue,
adoption
and
the
political
issue
can
become
more
and
more
So.
How
do
you
see
it,?
What
do
you
think
could
happen
because
it
is
no
longer
a
technological
discussion?
A
Was
like
the
conversation
we
are
having
right
now
is
that
it
is
very
common
for
us
to
get
used
to
the
startup
discourse
of
thinking
that
we
are
going
to
achieve
this
through
private
capital
and
that
then,
with
financing
everything
You
can,.
But
the
truth
is
that
there
are
some
points
of
friction
that
are
in
the
system
that
is
already
established
and
from
now
on,
we
also
have
to
start
thinking
as
political
actors,
because
we
also
have
to
participate
in
how
the
legislation
and
legislation
that
is
friendly
to
blockchain
Because.
