CryptoSlate recently had the opportunity to chat with Claudio Didier, a Chilean protestor and Bitcoin advocate, to understand the impact that cryptocurrencies have had in the nation as the demonstrations continue.
Tell us what is happening politically in Chile right now? What are the people protesting and fighting for?
Student groups started to do mass evasions in the subway in order to protest and more people joined the cause.
People are now protesting for all these reasons but not getting real solutions and not even in a reasonable amount of time.
How do the people of Chile view the current government leadership?
CD: People have lost trust in government and political parties.
What is the blockchain and/or crypto community like in Chile right now? How are people using this technology? What is the government's view?
CD: There are some communities such as Asociación Bitcoin Chile, that are making a good job in educating people on bitcoin tech and the crypto ecosystem.
There are a few developers working in their own blockchain-related projects, and also I would like to mention what some Chileans and Venezuelans have been working on; something called Locha Mesh, that is a device to chat and send bitcoin using radio waves.
What impact do you think Bitcoin and crypto will have on the Chilean people over the next decade?
