Hi there,

Perhaps just some key facts.
(1) We have been backing-up the network without interruption since september 2017 and have the infrastructure in place to switch at any moment to the 63 second schedule round with several nodes around Europe and 24/7 kill-switch monitoring scripts.
(2) We have the trust of almost 7k users who are voting already for our witness and aprox. 15k user following our account.
(3) We have an online-chat community with more than 8000 members with a team of dedicated moderators in two continents (Europe and Latinoamérica) to help newcomers in the steem ecosystem.
(4) We curate aprox. 50 posts a day with a team of 8 different human curators who read, comment and encourage Spanish speaking users to keep creating amazing content.
(5) We have a weekly official "life" podcast called steemit habla where all different steem related topics are discussed.
(6) We have a weekly popular science magazine called Hive account@cervantes ciencia, run by a group of university teachers and a dedicated group of graphics designers.
(7) We do regular (I would say bi-weekly) on-block discussions on topics in what we call "El Debate cervantil" where people are encourage to discuss openly a deeply about a variety of topics and where the best ideas and comments are voted and promoted.
(8) We are supporting an antiabuse/antiplagiarism team called Hive account@lince, together with more than 40 people with focus on not only marking abusive spanish written posts but trying to educate users to do things properly.
(9) We are doing a weekly life stream called "Curation Live" where the curators perform life curation sessions on cam / video sharing to show people how we curate, what criteria we use, and how is our understanding of value adding spanish content.
(10) We have a official "radio/podcast" station called Hive account@hisparadio with weekly programs like "steemit habla" where a great variety of steem related topics are discussed, also "enigmaticos" a fun program to make jokes and laugh or "hispamusica" a podcast about promoting spanish speaking steemian musicians, or a series of educational live audio streaming with educational content such as Philosophy or Health
(11) We run a project called "Embajadores" where selected Spanish speaker influencers outside of steem are approached to promote steemit has a platform and attract new users.
(12) We are running a steem/sbd to Bolivares exchange service named Hive account@cambio with new currencies to be added soon.
(13) We use our account to write original high quality content with several rotating teams of writers/correctors and designers-
(14) We use also our account to bi-weekly promote outstanding users in what we called Cervantes Presenta.
(15) We are working on several apps/websites to jump out of the steemit interface also in collaboration with other "anglo teams".
(16) We have participated in the two latest steemfests and performed live talks to present the Spanish steemit world to the "anglo" community.
(17) We have contributed to push the spanish tag up to the top of the trending topic.

And more over: We believe in steem. We kept writing/voting when the Steem went down to 0.07$ - the dark ages of early 2017. We have made a lot of great friends and are constantly learning, correcting, improving and discussing new ideas to to launch.

Thats all. I think
Yours sincerely Pablo Hive account@pgarcgo
