Click to download audio version Following the historic news of El Salvador
making Bitcoin legal tender, host Christian Keroles sits down with three
CEO’s of prominent Bitcoin projects in South America to react to the news
as well as discuss Bitcoin adoption across Latin America. Diego
Gutierrez-Zaldivar CEO of IOV Labs and RSK , Mauricio Tovar CEO Tropykus
Finance, and Max Cajurzaa CEO of Money on Chain protocol all lend their
experience both building Bitcoin projects and educating users about Bitcoin. We
cover the challenges they face and tremendous progress that has been made! The
Panel spends time discussing how broken the legacy finance infrastructure is in
South American countries and how RSK is serving as a permissionless financial
stack for users in Latin America and across the globe. We are starting to see
major ecommerce sites leveraging both Bitcoin and stable assets built on RSK and
Money on Chain. Next the group takes time to break down the El Salvador
situation and give their opinions on Article 7 and other aspects of how this
bill was implemented. The group tends to favor the bill and think it is rather
far, whereas many critics have shared mixed opinions over specific
implementation details. Finally the Panel speculates on which countries are
likely to be next, we discuss the nuances around Panama’s “crypto bill”, and
much more. Please enjoy this informative deep dive on Bitcoin adoption in Latin
America! Panelists: Diego Gutierrez-Zaldivar CEO of IOV Labs and RSK @dieguito
