Introduction
The Polkadot ecosystem is experiencing rapid growth and adoption, with a growing demand for high-quality educational content in various languages. To address this need, I propose funding the Mad Crypto MX YouTube channel, which has been consistently producing informative and engaging Polkadot content since 2020. This initiative will significantly enhance Polkadot's reach and foster a more inclusive community. Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/madcriptomx
Background and Experience
Mad Crypto MX is a prominent Spanish-language YouTube channel dedicated to educating viewers about the crypto ecosystem. The channel has consistently produced high-quality content, including in-depth tutorials, ecosystem updates, and interviews with key figures in the Polkadot community. These videos have been instrumental in onboarding Spanish-speaking individuals into the Polkadot ecosystem, playing a crucial role in its growth and adoption. Also not only I have created videos/content but spoken about polkadot in various crypto events and conferences. The videos are not limited to the spanish language, most interviews are in english.
I also run a Polkadot staking pool called TODODECRIPTO which currently has more than 83k DOT delegated.

With my educational project Todo de Cripto I also managed to get the only interview out there asking Vitalik about Polkadot: https://youtu.be/NCr-7okR_ts?si=cktrtdlcths9fAlP

Proposed Content and Impact
With funding from the Polkadot community, Mad Crypto MX will expand its content production to two videos per week for the next six months. This consistent stream of informative videos will provide valuable insights into the Polkadot ecosystem, catering to both new and experienced users. The content will cover a wide range of topics, including:
To further amplify the reach of the content, Mad Crypto MX will also share the videos on Twitter, ensuring that Polkadot's message reaches a broader audience.

Note: My Polkadot content will not be limited to this 2 videos per week. I actually speak frequently about it in my livestreams and tweets, so much even people have asked me in the past if I get paid by Polkadot to speak about it.
Channel Performance and Audience
Mad Crypto MX's YouTube channel has experienced significant growth over the years, with over 105,000 subscribers and over 7.8 million views. The channel's audience is primarily Spanish-speaking, but the inclusion of English-language interviews ensures that the content reaches a global audience.
Funding Request and Budget Breakdown
To support Mad Crypto MX's content production for the next six months, we request funding of $24,000 (4,700 DOT). This budget is based on a production cost of $500 per video.
Conclusion
Funding Mad Crypto MX's YouTube channel represents a strategic investment in Polkadot's growth and community development. By providing high-quality educational content in Spanish and English, we will empower individuals worldwide to explore and utilize the vast potential of the Polkadot ecosystem. I ask the Polkadot community to support this proposal and join me in fostering a more inclusive and informed Polkadot community.
Additional Notes
I am confident that this proposal will significantly benefit the Polkadot ecosystem and encourage the community to support it. Open to any suggestions to make it better too.
I propose using the # of wallets and # of DOT delegated to me for vote and that join my staking pool (TODODECRIPTO) as KPI. You can fake views, you can fake subscribers, you can raise engagement by doing click bait but this is actual activity on the network. Delegating vote and joining the staking pool with be promoted in every single video, if not doubled by 3 months from proposal approved i will return half the budget proposed.
Currently i have 112,141 delegated votes from 7 delegations and 84,000 DOT on the pool with 292 pool members.
My goal is to create wallets/bring activity not just awareness.
PS. KC is not involved in anyway on this proposal.
