We are indeed optimistic. The entrepreneurial spirit of our people goes beyond isolated "enemies of progress". Santi, thanks for the comment! We are indeed optimistic.

There's certainly something big going on in latam. And maybe in 5 or 10 years everyone will be talking about us, just like China and India are the big hit today. Unfortunately, some unreasonable politicians that sometimes emerge, play against the stability the region is willing to consolidate since the 80's when democracy became a must. Nietzsche once said that "each town's identity is based on being the opposite of their neighbour's identity". And that certainly is the case when Latams closeness to US, tends to generate anti-US feelings along the whole continent, and that gets translated into the rise of figures like Fidel, Chavez, Correa, etc. That's the main issue to be resolved for us right now. Lots of funds and VCs are often skeptical about latam due politicians. Yet, as we get more success stories such as MELI and their constant approval by Wall Street.. one must be optimistic.
