[IMPACT] Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community
The spanish speaking people in the world is the 4th largest population group with 548 million people and it is only second to Chinese as Native speaking language. For Cardano to reach the masses that target is a key one.
We generate impact by creating content to educate people, in their own language, but also in a way they can understand, with simple and common terms that the average person can relate and connect to drive adoption as a key objective for building a strong community.
Also as a form of closing the GAP with other blockchains that have been extremely active in the Spanish speaking markets, such as Ethereum, Bitcon, Algorand, Polygon and Polkadot among other.
By closely covering the Cardano's main events we can bring to the region much more information about Cardano's announcements and developments positioning Cardano as one of the TOP Blockchains in the region.
By Closely cover the CIP 1694 process, its workshops and the Constitutional Convention we will quite drive adoption and strong relationships and use cases for the whole ecosystem. As well as participation in the many roles of the decentralized government, Intersect, dREPs, Voting, etc.
By covering the Catalyst process, we will be onboarding many new projects and proponents to the ecosystem.
In Argentina a new Libertarian president was Elected and that will foster a lot of blockchain related activity at the State and Private levels, so this space can be pivotal to articulate and position Cardano in the country and the region.
