Dash. The most complete cryptocurrency project.

Transcript:

So our goal was to find the places where Dash can find the better fit to solve the greatest need.

One sector is the remittance market. With Dash, you can just send that remittance it will take a few seconds. 

The other opportunity was to work in economies that, because of inflation, things in the financial system are not working properly. I have a [Venezuelan] friend. The bank called him to say, ‘Hey, we just approved a new credit card for you. Come pick it up. When he went and picked it up, the limit was $2.70.

What’s the plan for business integration? And of course, exchange integration?

We need to get as many fiat pairs as possible until we cover all of Latin America. And, we need to make sure most of these exchanges are working with InstantSend. Because that will allow traders to have good opportunities and also it will help the exchanges to have liquidity. 

Right now — you as a Venezuelan as well — talk a little bit about the situation in Venezuela.

From the economic perspective, things are changing at cryptocurrency speed.

So we have the teams that were originally operating there — Dash Venezuela with Eugenia [Alcala] and the [Dash Merchants] with Lorenzo [Rey Camejo] and the others. And they did a great job laying the first foundations.

We’re not at the level of mass adoption. I want to leave that clear. But if you compare Caracas to other places in the world, you can live off of Dash in Caracas.

And I’m really happy to see that more teams are continuing to do stuff there. The Colombia team has grown tremendously.

We are seeing more and more major players jumping into this crypto stage. 

There’s a lot of room to grow and Dash will solve some of the people’s problems.
