Web3 is a way for content creators to own their identity, their data

Tell me something that’s true, that almost nobody agrees with you?

A few years ago I created an investment fund to open the financing gap and access to be able to invest. Everyone thought I was crazy. Then I created a protocol that allowed us to back fiat money with financial gold, but I failed.

I went on and created a protocol to divide a property into many parts so people could buy small parts of a house. The real estate companies in Chile wanted to crush the concept. After a while the concept of stable coin, real estate fractionation, became famous.

I woke up the next day and decided to do something that I was sure no one would doubt, that is to party. Tell me who doesn’t want to party?

How did you get interested in web3, Metaverse, and what you are currently working on?

I really think web3 is the step towards eliminating the profiling, analysis and exploitation of the data we bring as users to the internet. I always rejected the idea of Facebook owning the photos, comments and even thoughts I was invited to share.

Web3 is a way for content creators to own their identity, their data, and for us to have a definitive choice about whether or not we share things.

The Metaverse for me is that digital place that evolved, like the chat where we shared with thousands of people in 98’ today it looks different and the experiences are completely visual. Just that.

I am currently working on the development of a place where we can meet again in a transparent, safe and above all being part of our data. I don’t want anonymity, I want you to own your actions and content which are different things.

What soft & hard skills have been most helpful in helping you succeed in web3?

First, knowing what we are looking to do. Believing strongly that people matter and that we can really do things that benefit the world.

Being able to communicate ideas and express yourself in the right way. Losing the fear of ridicule and letting the code that projects the website speak for us and above all having the ability to transform negative comments into positive fuel to move forward.

What’s the best thing about your job? And the most challenging?

The best thing was to stop working in corporate finance, to stop believing that they are the masters of the world and that I no longer wear shirts, and to have to go through life showing what I do as a parameter of success. Today I explained to my parents that we are making a video game.

The hardest thing is to keep my son away from the computer and make him understand that what we do is not a place where he can invite his friends from the playschool. I have promised him that I will create a game for him, I hope I will have time to keep the promise.

What would you say is the most challenging aspect of managing a team in web3?

The financial aspirations of each employee. I think a bubble has been created where salaries are ridiculously inflated, forcing companies to spend all their time looking for investment capital, which generates a chain of wasted time and expectation that makes us repeat the same patterns over and over again.

What are the best decisions and the worst decisions you have made in this industry?

The worst was not learning to program earlier and not fully believing in myself. The best was going YOLO on what I’m doing, leaving the corporate finance world to party.

Among the people you’ve worked/interacted with within web3, who do you admire most and why?

I admire a lot of the people I’m working with, from our visual artists who we empower as people who create art, the programmers who help us help the world visualize what we have in our heads and all those who motivate us every day.

And I’m definitely a fan of what we’re doing. That’s why I self-proclaimed myself C-YOLO.

Who is your favorite web3 thinker on social media?

The truth is that I don’t spend my day looking at what others are doing. I inform myself a lot about what we can contribute and based on that I generate my vision and mission for Azomland Metaverse.

I don’t think we should have thinkers or admire those who just talk the talk. As I said we have to look for ways to solve the problem, but not by talking about it, but by doing it.

Can you imagine Elon Musk just talking about the idea of sending ships? I think the value is to send the ships, try it, let them explode and do it again.

What is your vision for your niche? What do you expect to come in the next few years? What developments in the field do you find to be the most exciting?

First, people read the terms and conditions of the platforms they use. That is key for us to move forward as a society.

I hope we can regain control of our identity on the Internet.

Outside of the issue of creating a Metaverse, we are looking for ways to solve the problem of identity while we party. Remember all that McLovin did with his ID? I think that’s where the future of this whole thing is going.

What is the question that has not been asked here that you would have enjoyed reading the answer to from one of your peers? Please answer it.

What artist (living or dead) of all time, would you like to see at Azomland?

A: Can it be all Woodstock?

What do you focus on to differentiate your Metaverse project from other competitors?

People, expertise and safety for everyone. I want to feel safe on the Internet again.

Any tips for beginners who aspire to work in this domain, but feel completely overwhelmed to even start competing?

If they are in the development area learn js, if they are in the design area learn how to use adobe suite and if they want to be the masters of the future Unity.
