In a world where finance and technology are advancing at a dizzying pace, it is essential to stay current and prepared to face the challenges that this presents. Thus, in Argentina, a country with a complex economic history and great potential for growth, we created Finanflix, a startup that seeks to democratize financial education and bring everyone the necessary knowledge to make the most of the crypto and WEB3 ecosystem.
When we began to enter the crypto market more than 5 years ago, to learn we had to navigate the depths of the internet, in remote websites where, especially in Latin America, the subject was just beginning to be discussed. For us it was super difficult at the beginning to understand about each topic, each blockchain, protocol and token. There was a lot of misinformation and sometimes there was no information at all. On the other hand, although universities and other educational institutions had begun to recognize the importance of cryptocurrencies, the curricula in careers and online courses were very basic or non-existent.
Today, traditional education has come a long way, thankfully, but it still hasn’t adapted to the needs of such a volatile market. Institutions in Argentina continue to have backward bibliography, based strictly on theory and many times with optional subjects nothing more. In turn, one must mention the barriers to entry that entry to any of these institutions has: tuition fees with a very high cost or a lot of bureaucracy when registering are just some of them. On the other hand, while it is true that there are some channels on YouTube and other platforms where one can find quality information, the job of distinguishing good information from bad information can be very arduous for a beginner.
This is how in 2020, already with experience and time in the market, we made the dream we live today come true. At that time we were just beginning to go through the maelstrom that the bull market of 2021 later attracted, and we were already full of family, friends and acquaintances asking us their doubts on all sides with this that was so new. From the hand of Facu, our CEO, Finanflix was born, and we were able to give a name and a structure to these courses and classes that we had already begun to offer.
At first it was a huge challenge. The educational system generally prepares its students very little in financial knowledge, let alone cryptocurrencies. This is the problem that we want to solve from where we are, and unfortunately there are many students who end up in Finanflix after having had bad experiences in the market due to poor risk management or lack of proper research.
Today we are proud to say that there are already more than 1,000 students who have passed through our house, “Flixers” as we like to call them, and that our active student body grew by 40% in the last month alone. This exponential growth that we are going through, together with the volatility of the market, forces us to keep up.
For this beautiful challenge, we chose to take innovation and transparency as our two pillars. Through innovation, we seek to become agile enough to meet growing market demand and its volatility. With tools like our Discord BOT to keep server users updated, our own NFT to automatically update Flixers discounts in the community, and a platform that renews its educational content every week with more than 300 hours of classes, we we keep updated like no one else. Also, and as a scoop, I dare say that we are developing an artificial intelligence system to provide updated market information every second to the community.
On the other hand, we fight to maintain a transparent and personalized education with each Flixer that enters. We are 100% transparent when it comes to educating, without offering unfulfillable promises of capital growth, but showing ourselves present and accompanying the student every day in such a dizzying market. We are bannermen against fraudulent protocols and publicly denounce every scam we see. We have even had the honor of providing training to the Federal Police and Interpol, being one more example of Finanflix’s seriousness on these issues. Helping our students take care of their capital is one of our primary tasks, and we are constantly recognized for it.
In these two years of life, Finanflix has achieved exponential growth and has changed the lives of many students who, thanks to the training received, have been able to find new job opportunities within the ecosystem and start their own projects. More than 70 students told us that Finanflix was a crucial factor in their success in getting a job. Thus, we have become a benchmark in financial and crypto education in Argentina, and in more than 10 other countries where we have been lucky enough to educate Flixers.
Finally, I want to invite all those who are not yet familiar with Finanflix to explore our platform, take advantage of the free trial and join our growing community of finance and cryptocurrency enthusiasts. It doesn’t matter if they are beginners or experts, in Finanflix they will find a space to continue growing and learning together with many other enthusiasts.
We await you with open arms and with the firm conviction that together we can change the future of financial education in Argentina and in the world.
Let’s go Finnflix!
