0:00Booya. What’s that? That’s what we like kind of say to exclaim at the end of our content. I I don’t understand. Sorry. Booyah. It’s like we like it’s like an exclamation like 3 2 1. Booyah.
0:09Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Hola. So Tomas the Argentina. I’m 27 years old. 6 months ago I quit my 9 to5 job and I went all in building in blockchain. Basically we are creating a startup called Aquazero. We are introducing crosschain prime brokerage to defy. We are building with 1 in as one of our partners also with unis swap h basically liquidity pools today are so broken. So we are making them more efficient. how we create this stuff called the share liquidity pool in where you put your h assets and you can provide liquidity to multiple pools in multiple chain simultaneously and just when a swap is happening we
0:51inject just in time liquidity we the the swap executes and then the the liquidity go back to the liquidity pool ready for the next swap in any pool in any chain and it’s way more capital efficient than liquidity pool why I’m excited of being here in east coast basically because I am really really really bullish on Ethereum. Why? Because on one side I think that Ethereum is playing like the longterm game. they’re doing like real business with you know companies like for example Wall Street brokers and stuff like that that they’re starting to use and migrate to blockchain technology also issuing their stable coins and stuff like that
1:29and also because particularly I am from Argentina and in Argentina we have been having a lot of inflation the last years for example from 2020 to 2026 our currency was like just I I I don’t know it was just like blowing up you know it’s like our economy is so broken that we need to find a solution for that and we find it in stable coins in Ethereum in different assets that makes our savings and our lives better so I am like really grateful with this blockchain because of that and also because I am a blockchain developer for a lot of years and I don’t know I just
2:08love like building stuff in the ch in the blockchain so yeah that’s it and you have message for early builders I mean just enter, come here, build, go to hackathons. I think that hackathons is the best place that you can find and you can learn how to build not just a video in YouTube or stuff like that. And yeah, just come here and try it. This this industry is amazing.
2:32And I’m curious for you. What do you feel like is the biggest thing everyday people don’t get about crypto? Oh, that’s a good question. I feel that there’s like a language a language gap with like normal people we start talking about I don’t know liquidity pools lending like technical stuff that when they hear that they’re like afraid of crypto but they are missing like a a a world of finance that is like so open that you can own your stuff that you know that for example a bank will not take your funds of you and they think that’s a big gap we need like more
3:09education, you know, stuff like that. Yeah. Hell yeah. And then can you give us a booyah? Booyah.
