Bilingual Interview (ENG-SPA) at CriptoLatinFest

So first of all, big shout out to new Hivean @jthomasewsky - he did a bilingual interview with me at CriptoLatinFest - honestly I think it might be the best or at least one of the best interviews I have ever done. He caught me when I was on fire with the HIVE onboarding energy, and so everything flowed in just the right way.

So apart from kind of crappy audio, the challenge with bilingual interviews is that only bilingual people can really get the full picture. The nucleus of this interview is in Spanish tho, and I think its worth a watch if you are a spanish speaker - even if you can't understand the first two minutes in english - jump to 3:33 and the 'we forked the founders' story.

I also want to give a huge shout out to @thecrazygm, who through his blessed laziness, created an AI to watch and summarize Youtube videos for him. I will lightly edit these (so my 'Picky Blog' reads as PeakD blog) and leave them here for you all, who perhaps don't speak spanish.
