Member Spotlight: Guaraná Bank (Andres Maceira)

Show Notes

In this Member Spotlight, we sit down with Andy Maceira, Presidio Bitcoin’s first Entrepreneur in Residence, joining us from Argentina. Andy shares what brought him to San Francisco, how Argentina’s inflation shaped his conviction in Bitcoin, and why emerging markets may lead the way in Bitcoin-based financial services. From the Peso’s collapse to the rise of Tether remittances, he explains why Bitcoin isn’t just an investment story but a necessity. We also preview the first Presidio Bitcoin Startup Night on Thursday, November 13, featuring builders from across the community, including Andy’s company Guaraná Bank, which is creating non-custodial Bitcoin-collateralized lending.
