Yeah, it's interesting, I expected the fundraiser to get many small donations, but this one has got some real heavy hitters!

@TruEconBreau (twitter handle) is an Austrian economist in Nigeria that gives seminars. He was a guest on Larry Sharpe, on Rothbard Radio, and was featured in Mises Institute's Austrian magazine. He is looking to raise funds to buy books for his next economics seminar, with Monero. He also plans to introduce Monero to his students and others, "to create a community of people who use money – not only free from state control – but truly private money." Please chip in!

I copy pasted the top paragraph into Google Translate, it's good stuff, here you go:

Hello, I have been doing an investigation for 2 months about a very large phenomenon occurring in "EL ALTO, BOLIVIA" a city that is located on the outskirts of the capital of said country, El Alto is a second city, it has more than 1 million of inhabitants, but the most interesting thing is that within it, there is a market of more than 2 kilometers where there are only street merchants, where absolutely everything is sold, from cars, machines, computers, clothing, food, furniture, to medicine . the government could not stop the progress of this and could not even encourage the use of digital wallets, all transactions between peers are in cash. a Silk Road that works on Thursdays and Sundays. I have made two threads explaining this event on my twitter account: @PICANTEXMR and I want to get there with the aim of finding 20 or 30 young traders who can be a circle of liquidity in Monero and learn to use it among peers and can start promoting the use of fungible digital money. go from cash to true electronic cash. and in turn integrate more merchants and customers to the P2P xmr of the July 16 fair in El Alto, Bolivia. I will leave below the two threads that I have made on twitter if anyone wants to read, and I will also leave the donation link to achieve the goal of going there and establishing monero among young traders.

And this is a working link to their Kuno fundraiser, looks like they added the title which broke their link. https://kuno.anne.media/fundraiser/vsle/
