Hi there, again 😜 I am [Fritz Martin Wagner](https://www.fritzmwagner.com), sharing this time with you from Caracas, Venezuela. Working on the Blockchain Industry since 2016, founded [Bitdharma](https://www.criptonoticias.com/regulacion/equipo-publico-privado-inicia-trabajo-blockchain-venezuela-semana/), selling [mining equipment](https://medium.com/coinmonks/how-to-create-a-crypto-miner-from-other-world-a-pc-wall-mounted-diy-6c3136c8f3ab) and lead some early venezuelan development projects like [D-Wallet](https://papagayonews.com/d-wallet-la-aplicacion-que-busca-innovar-en-el-mundo-de-las-criptomonedas-en-venezuela/). I started computer engineering career and ended up finishing in Production Engineer (Industrial focused on Business), adding later a Corporate Finances Studies. Experience on UI/UX, design, Front-end development, Project Management, and other experiences related to Product Growth. At the time, educational coordinator for the “Blockchain desde Zero” course from [Tecnologia Financiera](https://www.instagram.com/tecnologiafinanciera/). Involved with the NEAR Community since the Hackathon on May, where participated with the [Crypto Beer Project](http://gov.near.org/t/crypto-beer/2159) as for me making beer is a hobbie/business, and with @Jloc I founded a craft beer / wine / mead / kombucha haha and more fermented beverages house with the name of [Cheers Factory](https://www.instagram.com/cheers.factory/), and now we will love to create a new initiative together with the community to continue been chilling NEAR with a BEER. 🍻 Since then, I have been participating on several projects and guilds, helping with the front design of **Metapool** and keeping around forming a team for the marketing designs @Maiker, then as a council member on **Near Hispano** taking content creation tasks and onboarding devs into the NCD program from the **NEAR University** , also create content and translations for **LEARN NEAR** where created a translation squad with @jeph as the first member, later founded the **NEAR VENEZUELA** guild, then I joined the **OWS** team as a language coordinator and now as project coordinator too, happy to be helpful with other guilds like **Merchants** on content creation and moderation, or other DAOs, project manager on [TenkBay](https://tenkbay.com), and finally leading the [NEAR P2P](http://gov.near.org/t/approved-near-p2p-dapp/10735) project development with @andresdom. Now really busy as part of the **NEAR Concierge** team. So basically, my main activity has been the onboarding of new members and the creation of squads. That’s why I get this [badge](http://gov.near.org/badges/27/champion) that I am proud of, and this [other](http://gov.near.org/badges/20/great-topic) that yeah comes mostly from the love of the Venezuelan Community (Thank you all 🥰). My expectations for the future are a more democratic world thanks to the use of DAOs. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/gov_near/original/2X/6/6abb7b56ac788ceb98f319180c294b9d94a22039.jpeg) * * * Wallet: fritzwagner.near --- _[View the full topic](https://gov.near.org/t/forum-meeting-near-venezuela-members/13658)._
