We explore the possibilities of blockchain, AI and regeneration through our newsletter, data driven research, a podcast and plenty of collaborations.**\n\n## **\ud83e\udd14 Why?**\n\nFrankly, because we are both bored and scared of:\n\n- The mainstream & polarized crypto narratives. We found ourselves trapped either by the \u2018web3 is gonna save the world\u2019 or \u201cweb3 is nothing but a scam\u201d. Same with AI.\n- The Regen/ReFi spaces have broadened the discourses, but there is so much more to add towards actual systemic change.\n- The lack of visibility/funding towards the South American wisdom, talent, communities, projects and saz\u00f3n.\n- The quantity & quality of Spanish web3/AI/tech content.\n- The lack of humanities in mainstream crypto/AI/tech narratives.\n\nBy failing to integrate critical perspectives on said areas, we risk using all its potential to replicate the same dynamics we so desperately need to change - specially on the Global South.\n\n**\u2728 How do we propose to solve it?**\n\nWe aim to create a **knowledge and networking virtual hub for everyone working to improve LATAM, willing to responsibly look at the existential risks and hopes of blockchain technologies \ud83d\udc69\ud83c\udffe\u200d\u2764\ufe0f\u200d\ud83d\udc69\ud83c\udffd**\n\nOur activities include:\n\n- \ud83d\udcf0 **[Newsletter](http://ladreammachine.substack.com/)**: ~50 editions published since 2022, ~150 subscribers, 2000+ views.
