- PiedraDeMar asks how are these NFTs helping indigenous community?
- For the 4 video NFTs significant percentage of royalties have been distributed to performers (Ome Tochtly and Elian Cohuatzpali) who have lost significant live performance revenue during pandemic
- For genesis collection as a whole, proceeds will fund next project
- Follow-up- How easy do they have access to the funds?
- Really fair question
- Off ramping eth and sent them pesos through payment service at OXXO (like a super 7/11)
- Finding a way to offramp for the people or a tool is a legit problem
