0:49worry about it right so we know these type of technologies and platforms are not easy to use for everyone and well those people that they just want to invest because they know it's great it's got they know it's the future so they don't want to spend time on it so we do it for them that's perfect I know there's you know one person one percent of the world that's actually invested in

1:13cryptocurrencies themselves yeah there's so many people in the traditional financial market that want to invest in blockchain but they don't really know how yeah so true yeah that's great yeah we do that so basically that's the idea of Lydia capital and the company also organizes annual investment investment summits to act as a forum for the investors to meet with the AI

1:38co-founders to learn more also about blockchain space so we're not only to be clear on this we're not an event planning company we just holds these events with the only connecting people with share interests and beautiful destination and basically for their partners of Libya to really get to know the people behind the icos and these companies try these projects

2:07so it's typical conference where you just get to know someone at four to three minutes exchange business and then just go this is really a selected crowd spending together to three days getting to know each other I'm building my last relationship that's great so could you guys I know that you guys recently had a summit in Argentina could you tell us a little bit about

2:32that and then I know we'll hear about some upcoming events as well yeah so we hosted an amazing event in Argentina past March it was a three-day conference the Ogaden mansion in Buenos Aires and then we went to a vineyard in Mendoza that's called Abaddonn wine estates and it was great the attendees were a mix of I SEOs investors of Lidia other private

3:50either projects angel investors net workers are looking to go to you know specifically to do networking and investing so to have a more exclusive event where the firm that's hosting the event actually sort of picking out every you know making it more of an exclusive crowd and then investing in a lot of the projects that come that sounds like a really promising opportunity yes we have

4:15a very selected crowd we will pick everyone I think the events are by invitation only so it's a really selective crowd either if you're an IC o—- racing capital or you are an investor or just someone interested in blockchain and why I wanted to meet interesting people you can be sure that that's that's like a good fit for you that's great so we've
