[Music]
I grew up in the 90s without tele but
watching movies on Blu-ray no
it’s something like bluray’s grandfather
I saw again and again 2001 Odyssey of the
space I loved the dialogues of
fellini
I hypnotize given in the worlds of akira
kurosawa
years later and being equally fussy and
this wonderful movie industry
opaque hierarchy led me to make a
research on how some
documentaries were getting
financing directly from their
audiences
and it was after a long journey that
eventually I heard about block change
they will remember when movies like the
nap was proved guilty the storm
today they are blast
to my generation we had to live deep
changes and we had to adapt to the
changes in technology and formats today
luckily this technology goes much more
beyond social networks and
of entertainment
all this story started with
platforms like bittorrent or napster
which were useful to exchange
files between pairs
the technology blogs and ignacio in
2008 as an almost cyberpunk reaction to
the economic crisis of 2008 and you
attributed to a group or person by name
satoshi nakamoto block is so
important because it implies a disruption
as at the time it was public access
of internet that was only limited
for military use
and surely they know bitcoin very well
but I’m just not going to talk about this
crypto currency but of all
possibilities they have to be
applied in social issues in
civic technology and of course in the
three creative
if we think about this concept of
chain of blocks what are we going to
find is to the center information or
data that have a forward path
that is to say that they are directed to a
next computer and also that
they mark a record of where it comes from and
they are replicated in thousands of millions
of mobile devices along
the whole planet
there are some blog attributes for me
there are four very important one is that it is
a decentralized network is to say all
the nodes are the same, there are none
to centralize this information the
second is security all
information is encrypted and this the
it becomes quite powerful the third one is
safety
and the privacy of the data because today
it turns out that all the information that
we are injecting into networks
social platforms are not us
belongs then is doing now that
if we are generating this
information be of us and finally
the fourth point for which I consider
very powerful is democratization because
anyone can join this network of
Blogs change not only the people who have
access to privileged groups
maybe we probably have a vision
or a more graphic image of block change
if we think a book with accounting tea
where revenues are recorded and
the expenses which is updated
every ten minutes 24/7 each member of
this network has a part of the book and
it is replicating so it is very
difficult to hack one with millions of
computers
the magic of block change is that
eliminates third parties or intermediaries in
this case to the banks at
institutions and corporations that
they have been in charge of providing trust or
security like the banks that we
they provide or have sold us trust
now the confidence is deposited in
the members of the network no matter if
we know them or not
this generates that we can as citizens
perform many transactions the
that we go defining
then it means that we can trust
in strangers for the first time
and massively among citizens by
example we can help the gap
between rich and poor people be lower in
the riviera maya many settlers
originating and people who even plot
bought land was displaced from their
territories for not accrediting the
ownership of these lands
instead the politicians got to
alter the cato in such a way that
they owned hectares of forest and
of course of land in front of the
beach then block change through a
platform through certificates
digital or smart contracts could
have braked this state
this appropriation
There is a Mexican platform called
my faithful that allows to encrypt documents
make them valid and generate a title of
property of my house or maybe I can give
an invoice for a car and could also
register the intellectual property of
million research project or
I invent this without going to a notary without
turn to an institution and saving
I get a lot of money because the whole network
would be endorsing this information and the
I would have at your hand
it could also be quite useful in the
remittances our country receives a lot
money that comes from abroad to
from remittances and also in the
natural disasters the most common use
would be to go to our union and make pay
a very high commission that can go between
7 or 20 percent could also be
an international transfer and there I
they would charge some commissions plus the
currency exchange I lose enough money
however, I can resort to other
platforms like page that would allow
simply make the payment in a way
immediate and direct percentage that does not
reaches even 2% in the case of
natural disasters last year in
Mexico we had
in September very earthquakes
regrettable and many organizations of
civil society and people were
really willing to donate money and
they started doing it they were
asking who were the people
more reliable to deposit them
the money directly in some
cases worked but in others we do not have
the certainty that this amount has reached
the people most in need a platform
of blogs ain would have facilitated all
these
money movements
at the level of civic technology blogging
has a lot of potential especially in
our country for example we could now
in July have one in which we could
see the information of the candidate know
what is your path to see what is your
proposal and once we are
well documented there if you issue our
vote the vote would be encrypted not
it could be modified which means that
there would be no fraud equally we can
oversee the campaign of all
candidates can know where they have been
spent every peso and every penny that at
final comes from our taxes
therefore as citizens we can
generate and be part of the design and
application of all policies
public, I wonder who of this
room trusts the institutions to see
raise your hand
ok there are a lot of initiatives
new
good to open the talk commenting that
I’m passionate about cinema and there’s also a
huge potential almost no industry
is saved from these modifications
technologies imagine that for you
documentary is projected in a room
commercial you have to go through
a lot of intermediaries an agent of
sales a distributor an exhibitor and
then the aggregators this to the team
creative that are the writers the
directors the producers affect them
because they do not receive much of
These gains that give
intermediaries being that they are the
that generated the product the idea or the
value then now imagine yourself a
netflix that already exists that is called block
movie in which we can pay directly
watch movies and pay them directly to
the creatives and the authors that the
they have done
kodak this year launched its platform with
water which encrypt images so that
then the authors can receive and
monetize through his works with
5
ok for the first time the game ball
It is on the side of the ethical companies of the
autonomous communities and the
visionaries or innovators
technological
In fact there are companies like
digital cooperatives that are
betting on this type of incorporation
of block chain which are the cooperatives
They are companies where the decision is made
does not make her a founder or a
investor but all the members of
the cooperative from voting the
all the decision they want to make for
there is therefore horizontal governance and
the property and all the utilities are
share in this cooperative
for example citizens in berlin are
have organized to buy the company
of light and administer these services in
new york has been driven from the
mayoralty to have more than 20
investment of more than 2.1 million
of cash to encourage the existence of
cooperatives led by women and
there is also a digital currency that
called the fair coin that is your proof of
consensus is made from a test
of cooperation and that is thought for
many more companies or cooperatives in
this case they are
that digital and that inject all this to
this system
I do not think blog is salvation
for all as young jesus that I
promises to eliminate sins and give me
miracles I believe that the reality always
exceeds fiction clearly so
so much there are pending issues the footprint of
carbon that leaves very large blocks is
compares what a country emits like
Nigeria
then we have to question ourselves
what are the objectives we have that
ensure that there is no use
malicious because we are facing
dystopian scenarios very close a lot
closer to maybe what you are
imagine we could be governed by
machines have already replaced the
operators to the telephone operators and now
They have some recorders that are
automatic but quite useless
then there are level bets
technological because the machines learn
this unfortunately would take us away from
our human essence but they are already
here
we will likely face a
change of the capitalist system as it says
douglas rushkoff technology should
be at our service to increase
assist and expand our humanity not
let the machines control us
with blog platforms change
we have started to collaborate to great
scale and if we can continue to trust and
empowering us as a human species
we design futures
beautiful that value another type of
aspects not only the money as they can
be happiness cooperation good
common and the elevation of consciousness
thank you very much
