What advantage latin americans get for this be based on chile? There are other countries with much more population (your main self proclaimed challenge) and/or less tax burdens.

Chile is a good starting point for us because it has a higher GDP per capita and is highly digitalized. There's a pending treaty called "Pasaporte de fondos" that would in theory allow us to serve people in Colombia, Mexico, and Peru without additional regulation.

About taxes, I think Chile is on the lower-burden side of Latin American countries, but I'm open to hear if you have deeper insights.
