Description
This is an introduction to the different narratives and faces that I came to know while having several meetings with ReFi community builders and event organizers from all over the world. From suited men talking fast while trying to buy tickets for an important trip in the USA, to small farmers in Brazil organizing themselves to extract more value from their products while keeping the prices accessible to their neighbors, to young tech entrepreneurs from South Korea and Kenya.
With the talk, I want to provide a landscape vision of the ReFi ecosystem from its different perspectives. Also, the talk will follow the work that I've been doing writing a book about ReFi together with Professor Leonardo Lima from Ledger Labs, from the Pontifical Catholic University in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Basically,
I
will
be
talking
about
some
of
the
narratives
around
refi
as
an
ecosystem
and
in
the
screen
there
are
the
narratives.
We
already
know
the
technology,
the
Regeneration
on
the
ground
and
the
finance
and
those
we
already
know
everyone.
Everyone
in
this
event
already
know
at
least
one
of
two
of
these
features
of
the
refi
as
an
ecosystem.
A
A
So
why
are
people
not
coming
what
about
built
and
they
come
why
one
of
the
things
blockchain
has
done
for
technology
and
finance
technology
in
general
is
replace
the
need
for
trust
for
assets.
To
truth,
you
don't
need
trust
in
blockchain.
You
can
access
the
data,
you
can
open
the
smart
contract,
you
can
open
the
white
paper
and
see
the
contract
and
see
the
the
rules.
A
But
what's
this,
what
is
the
relation
between
trust,
truth,
refi
and
blockchain,
and
mass
adoption
so
open
us
as
the
truth
made
possible
or
Global
community
of
nerds
to
exist
with
this
because
of
global
assess
the
truth,
for
example,
to
refi
spring
I,
didn't
explain
where
is
refi
spring
I
would
do
that.
So
at
revised
spring
we
are
a
team
of
four
people,
I'm
in
Brazil
hereward
in
Italy
Caitlyn
in
Berlin
and
Roxanna
in
Barcelona,
Espana
Spain,
and
we
never
met
each
other,
but
instead,
but
yet
at
River
spring.
A
What
we
do
is
support
local
communities,
mostly
in
the
global
South,
to
have
the
first
contest
with
the
refi
as
a
with
refi
as
an
ecosystem,
and
we
do
that
by
providing
education
by
providing
the
the
whole
process
of
onboarding
and
this
process
can
can
have
like
four
moves
or
two
weeks
depends
on
the
community
because
all
at
refi
spring
we
are
building
trust,
not
truth.
We
already
have
truth
on
blockchain.
We
don't
need
to
recreate
it
and
we
can.
A
A
So
we
don't
need
trust
anymore
in
the
blockchain.
We
have
three
and
refi.
So
it's
the
case
to
have
done.
It
total
hope.
We
don't
need
that
anymore
and
then
I
come
with
a
an
answer.
No,
we
need
trust
why
we
need
trust
technology.
Finance
are
built
around
truth
science,
but
but
yet
our
lives
are
built
around
Trust
neighborhoods,
the
relation
between
a
small
business,
small
farmers
love
everything.
We
we
build
our
lives
around
is
Trust
in
our
emergency.
A
In
a
catastrophe
you
reach
for
the
people
who
you
trust,
you're,
not
you're,
not
check
the
facts
in
a
catastrophe
in
emergency.
You
just
reach
for
help
for
everyone
who
you
trust
so
drift.
Truth.
First,
is
what
binds
people
together
when
everything
else
fails,
and
today
our
Global
Order
is
failing,
our
institutions
are
failing.
Our
economy
at
a
global
scale
are
failing.
Science
is
failing,
not
because
science
cannot
provide
this
truth.
A
Global
communities
so
demand
disasters
to
trust,
to
truth,
the
Global
Marketing,
the
global
carbon
credits
markets
per
Suriname,
for
example,
to
have
a
contact
to
be
in
the
global
markets
of
carbon
credits.
For
us
to
have
carbon
Rewards,
we
need
truth.
We
need
open
data,
we
need
open
source,
but
yet
to
convince
people
in
Suriname
to
join
the
adventure.
A
You
need
trust.
You
need
to
look
in
the
eyes
of
the
person
to
gather
scientists
for
the
first
time,
not
after
reading
an
article
for
the
first
time
you
need
Trust
and
most
of
the
most
above
everythings
above
everything,
what
we
need
in
terms
of
refi,
to
reach
people
to
reach
those
communities
outside
of
the
ecosystem,
it's
to
allow
them
to
build
trust
between
themselves
and
today,
at
revised
spring.
What
we
do
is
try
to
is
try
to
build
distrust
by
giving
this
by
linking
this
local
communities
between
themselves
and
hence
the
question.
A
A
What
we
need
at
refi
is
to
bring
trust
and
narratives
around
Trust,
so
at
rifle
spring,
what
we
do
is
create
the
bridge
between
the
local
communities
and
the
refi
ecosystem,
and
these
are
some
of
the
phases
of
the
refi
ecosystem,
as
we
see
it
in
the
at
reefy
Spring
While.
Most
of
refi
events
are
happening
in
Amsterdam,
Berlin,
U.S
London.
