Towards Infinite Gardens with Ethereum in Latin America — Marcus AM

Marcus AM is a creator, researcher, builder and artist. Fellow of the Ethereum Foundation and co-creator of Ethereum Guatemala. Author of the Last Mile Defi Report on crypto adoption in Latin America.

Host and producer of the Odisea Podcast and recently the Last Mile DeFi Podcast. Very much a global traveller and was a part of Europe’s leading start-up incubator Entrepreneur First.

Contributing across a range of initiatives in regenerative projects and impact investing including CityDAO, Cohere, Tierra Foods, Create The Change, green fintech at Aspiration, and deploying last-mile housing with Lamina POP. He researched climate and finance at the Smith School and graduated from the University of Oxford.

In this episode we talk about Marcus’ origin stories growing up in rural Guatemala, observing corruption and fraught financial infrastructure leading to his early interest in Bitcoin. Through to verging into the Ethereum and crypto builder space and being accepted as a fellow of the Ethereum Foundation to research opportunities and use cases for crypto adoption in Latin America.

We also talk about crypto as a counterculture movement, Marcus’ interests in podcasting, supporting young developers and teams in the Latin American ecosystem, and the impact created by Devcon and ETH Global events in the region.
