Brigitte
“Bri” Aponte
I connect people, products and markets — and I love the moment a good conversation becomes a real opportunity.
Who I am
I'm a 19-year-old International Trade student in Buenos Aires, building a career where global commerce meets blockchain. I'm a bitcoiner who's genuinely energized by the people side of this industry — understanding a product, explaining it simply, and connecting the right person to the right opportunity.
That instinct points me toward business development and community, with a rare bonus: I can also create the content that makes a protocol click for a wider audience. My trade background means I think in markets, incentives and cross-border flows, and I speak Spanish, English and some Mandarin — so I can bridge LATAM teams and global protocols.
I'm early in my story. But I move fast, I show up, and I finish. Done is better than perfect.
What I bring
A sales instinct
I like the deal-making part — reading a room, spotting who needs what, and turning a first hello into a warm relationship. It's the work I'd do for free.
A LATAM–global bridge
Native Spanish, advanced English, some Mandarin, plus a Comercio Exterior lens on markets and cross-border flow. Comfortable translating between local and global teams.
Web3-native content
I turn Bitcoin, DeFi and fintech into short, clear content for TikTok and LinkedIn — the kind that makes complex protocols legible to normal people.
Real blockchain literacy
A bitcoiner who actually reads the space: self-custody, DeFi, tokenization, RWAs. I can hold my own with builders and speak plainly to newcomers.
Finance fluency
I read financial statements and portfolios, and I'm preparing for Argentina's capital-markets (idoneidad) certification. I can talk P&L and valuation — not just vibes.
Initiative, on record
I don't wait for permission — I apply, I volunteer, I organize. Selected from 3,000+ for Devconnect; co-founding a student finance & startup club.
