Technology, regulation, transparency, security, are some of the topics that were discussed in the multiple exhibitions and stands that brought together the most important brands of this ecosystem.
At the Costa Salguero center, through seven scenarios, crypto experts, economists, entrepreneurs, businessmen, and developers converged in the same space with a single purpose, to discuss blockchain and cryptocurrencies and how this technology will continue to impact the economy, work, money and society in general. Four experts behind different projects that make up the crypto ecosystem shared their viewpoints.
Creators 3.0: Series and Independent Content
The CEO and co-founder of Flixxo, Adrián Garelik, took a few minutes to chat with Ámbito and explain what Flixxo is about, the streaming platform that uses blockchain to offer audiovisual productions without charging a subscription.
In this regard, he added that the service is free but the creator is invited to return part of his profits so that he can maintain the project. “It is a community platform and we try to be as horizontal as possible,” he said and expanded on the origins of this project: “First we started because we believe in the idea, and second because we were financed through a community of contributors, almost 2,000 people. distributed throughout the world contributed capital for this to exist.”
After highlighting that the learning curve was not easy at all, especially because the entertainment industry is very vertical, he explained what a 3.0 creator is: “He is a totally independent creator who wants to tell the story now and does not want to enter into a process of platform with editorial lines, with teams of scriptwriters, and is a collective creator who knows that his brilliance is much greater when a constellation shines.”
Traditional Finance and Crypto World
Guido Messi, Head of Ripio Select, after participating in a panel, chatted with Ámbito about various topics and, above all, what the new challenges that the ecosystem presents will be. “I think it is very interesting what is happening where the traditional world is beginning to incorporate cryptocurrencies, so it is no longer a universe where if you want a cryptocurrency, you have to operate with Ripio and you cannot use a bank like BBVA or the HBC, now there are many partners that provide services to each other,” he said.
Dollarization and Cryptocurrencies
Elisandro Santos, Marketing Manager in Latam for BingX, also spoke with Ámbito about the current economic context of Argentina and what trends he sees in local clients. “We are seeing in the Argentine public the transformation from the comment ‘you have to buy dollars and keep them under the mattress’ to ‘today our generation carried that same thing but in cryptocurrencies’. This is how they buy stable cryptocurrencies and keep them in wallets.”
The Crypto World behind Business Developments
Álvaro Echazu, Head of Product Design, said that they “accompany clients between phases. The first phase is to help them in design and experimentation; the second is to help them design and build their digital product that will support that business idea, and the third is to begin to scale them.”
Later, Echazu told what he believes was the paradigm shift: “In the last two years there was a fairly strong economic recession and investments in a lot of projects fell, which first made many startups go bankrupt and second, it became increasingly difficult. starting from raising capital, before there was much more financing available, which meant that we had to think about products with added value.”
