Grande Manza!

Thanks for dropping by and sharing the experience and lessons even though Marketing DAO decided not to fund this.

Argentina is a HUGE, KEY market full of people that get crypto (long history of inflation, lack of trust in government, et al.) The potential in the region, combined with the deep expertise of the team (active contributor to BOS, Meta Pool, among others) should’ve been a no brainer for MDAO to fund.

Going forward, I believe the Dev Hub may be a better option to fund these kind of events.
