EF is a non-profit and part of a community of organizations and people working to fund protocol development, grow the ecosystem, and advocate for Ethereum.
How do people use Ethereum today? A real world story from Argentina:
Florencia (name changed) is a freelancer in Buenos Aires. She gets paid in USDC, and when she needs cash, she swaps the stablecoins for pesos through a trusted p2p group. The contact shows up on a motorbike with cash.
“Banks don’t make sense here. This is faster, and I get a better rate than the official dollar.”
This November, join the global Ethereum community in Buenos Aires at Devconnect (@efdevcon) and be part of the next wave of onboarding Argentina. Tickets dropping soon 👀
‼️ note: only use p2p groups and contacts you trust! never share your seed phrase - stay safe on the internet.

"Emerging markets lead the way in blockchain adoption, while many nations in Europe, East Asia and the Americas are more skeptical by comparison yet still view blockchain technology as the 'future of digital ownership' or 'the future of money.'” - @Consensys
