Monthly Author Challenge Cryptomonth Day 24! WTF is BCL? And why you should pay attention to it.
<center> A little while ago, I briefly mentioned Bitcoin Latina (BCL). Now I think it’s time to spend more time on this coin. When looking at the members of the foundation, you’ll see a couple of founders of Genesis and Nucleus; people like John Gotts, CEO (Nucleus) and David Bolocan CFO/COO (Genesis). But the name that sticks out the most to me, is our very own @stan, Stan Larimer.

# So again: What is Bitcoin Latina?

When you take a look at the https://bitcoinlatina.org website, you will find that BCL is now built on the Ethereum codebase, but will be moving on to an EOS-based blockchain when the EOS Block.one team has the software ready for it. This is expected to happen after the 1st of June, when the EOS ICO ends.
Reasons for this are many, but the most prominent one being that BCL does not want to see scaling issue as we’ve seen with Ethereum. 

By growing a Latin America based blockchain, their focus will be on creating jobs and prosperity while teaching the people of Latin America more about blockchain technologies and let them experience how valuable this can be for the community.

When reading the BCL Latina Whitepaper, my eye particularly fell on this: No BCL coins will ever be sold by the Foundation to the public, but will instead be provided as a reward for volunteer peer-to-peer work, given as grants or in exchange for something of value, such as technology, that benefits the Foundation. 

I believe this is important, because it gives everyone who wants to be involved in the project, an equal chance to acquire BCL coins.

# Airdrop

I participated in the airdrop and the ‘one for one’ where we would receive 1 BCL for each BCL we had in our Bitshares wallet by the time the snapshot was done.
The price after that, rose a little, and then due to sell offs, it came down quite a bit. I bought the coins at 65 BTS each (Bitshares) and now they are around 6 BTS.
So if you want to get in on something that is not only promising, but also a very positive community-minded project, then now's the time.
