RT by @BitcoinPolitik: Francisco Calderón (@negrunch) is one of the realest cats in Bitcoin.

The Venezuelan🇻🇪 developer, who has 20+ years of experience in the open-source space, could work on anything but focuses his time and effort on @MostroP2P, which enables those living countries in crisis (e.g., Cuba) to access Bitcoin.

In this, his first interview in English, we discuss:

⚡️ How his experience watching the economic situation in his home country deteriorate informs the work he does
⚡️ How Mostro is built to be used in the harshest and most technologically-unfriendly environments
⚡️ Calderón's vision for Mostro to be used globally
⚡️ What's currently happening in Venezuela
⚡️ Why the open-source future is bright

It was a tremendous honor to speak with Calderón.

This conversation was a strong reminder of not only how powerful freedom tech can be but the fact that it takes sincere, committed people like Calderón to bring this tech to life.

Finally, thank you to the @Cuba_BTC and @bitcoinr3 teams for highlighting how the communities with whom you work use Mostro in my recent interviews with you. You inspired me to reach out to Calderón to have this conversation.

Enjoy!
