🎙️ From Cristian’s Desk

Thanks for tuning into this week’s Digest! 🙌

Over the past few days, I’ve been fully focused on wrapping up the Azteca 2025 event report—a key milestone for Cardano México and the broader LATAM community. Organizing events in two cities back-to-back was no small feat, and I’m incredibly proud of what we accomplished together.

Now that the dust has settled, I’ll be shifting gears and returning my full attention to Cardano gaming. There’s a lot of momentum across the ecosystem, and I’m excited to dive deeper and bring you even more content.

Stay tuned—this week you might receive more than one email from me 😉

As always, “My Move” reflects what I’m personally exploring in each project—not financial advice, just my perspective as I navigate the space.

Thanks again for reading. You can follow my real-time updates and conversations over on X: @CrisRo0787

See you soon!
