**Part of our 10 Years of Ethereum celebration series**

In this episode, we dive deep with 0xGramajo, a Guatemala-born developer turned content creator who's been bridging the gap between complex Web3 technology and accessible education since 2021.

## Episode Highlights:

**The Origin Story** - How the 2008 financial crisis and personal experiences with financial exclusion led Gramajo from Bitcoin maximalism to believing in Ethereum's vision of putting the internet on the blockchain.

**Guatemala Perspective** - A candid conversation about building in crypto from a non-Western perspective, family immigration struggles, and why traditional finance systems failed his community.

**Content Creation Philosophy** - The "Sherpa mentality" approach to Web3 education, building in public, and creating content that brings others along the journey rather than gatekeeping knowledge.

**Farcaster vs. Traditional Social** - Why decentralized social media matters for creators, the problems with platform monetization requirements, and building authentic communities.

**DAO Renaissance** - Gramajo's thesis that 2025 will be the year we "figure out DAOs," plus his summer plans involving ENS and Gnosis DAO.

**Real-World Impact** - Stories about helping artists mint on Ordinals, building bridges between technical builders and broader audiences, and the importance of celebrating Web3 innovation.
