LATINOS IN SEARCH OF CAPITAL & CAPITAL IN SEARCH OF LATINOS
MEET CRYPTO LUCHA,
THE NEWEST ADDITION TO THE NFT’S WORLD Curious about learning more about NFT’s and everything that’s behind this world? We asked Luis Arellano, cofounder of Crypto Lucha, some questions about his latest project and what this new trend is all about.
How was Crypto Lucha born and how does it work?
Crypto Lucha was born out of opportunity; the opportunity to create a more inclusive economy, especially with Latinos. Crypto, NFTs, and Web3 are here to stay and will help shape our future in many ways. All you have to do is look and see the renaming of major sporting arenas to companies innovating in these areas for some validation. However, there are still many people that are skeptical of these new technologies, but the reason for this skepticism is simply just time. We are still very early in these technologies where only spots of clarity exist, but that's where great opportunities live. Crypto Lucha's mission is to educate, especially Latinos, on what these technologies are and how they work through first-hand experience. Our goal is to educate on what is an NFT and why it is just more than
an image, it's value, how to begin to invest in crypto and NFTs, but most importantly, to learn about DeFi or Decentralized Finance through Crypto Lucha's introduction of it's powerful token, $TACOS. Crypto Lucha is one of the most successful, Latino-created NFT collections in the world. The collection art was inspired by 90's video game nostalgia and the power of culture, in this case, the iconic Mexican lucha libre.
Why NFT's? Where do you see them in the future?
NFTs are a technology that offers endless possibilities. It is a technology that is transparent as everything is registered on the blockchain for anyone to see. It is a technology that allows everyday people to participate in industries that were normally closed to them. As an example, NFTs are already revolutionizing the music industry
