We are Bitcoin Bay, a cryptocurrency community originally from Toronto, but also organize meetup communities around the world.
Summary
We propose the founding of a new Cardano Community Hub in Buenos Aires. This will be its own independent organization, but gain the support of Bitcoin Bay and other Cardano communities.
The Buenos Aires hub will host bi-weekly Spanish language events, including community gatherings and educational workshops. At first these may be online events due to pandemic restrictions, but they will become in-person as soon as restrictions are lifted. Our contacts in Buenos Aires will be able to host them in person, given some incentive.
In addition we will create local community whatsapp and telegram groups to enable community members to stay in touch. (Whatsapp is popular in Argentina).
We are looking for suggestions on how to connect this hub with the wider Cardano Community.
