LABITCONF 2024 Buenos Aires
The December 2024 Latin American Bitcoin Conference at which de Soto articulated an integrated vision of blockchain, AI, and digital infrastructure as converging institutional foundations for economic inclusion.
The 2024 LABITCONF in Buenos Aires marked a significant moment in de Soto's public engagement with digital infrastructure as an extension of his institutional framework. Speaking to an audience combining Latin American policymakers, blockchain developers, and economic reformers, de Soto articulated how blockchain-based registries, AI-enabled inclusion systems, and broader digital infrastructure could converge to create the institutional foundations for economic participation that physical registries had failed to extend to the majority of the developing world's population. The appearance represented de Soto's most explicit integration of his forty-year framework with the technological possibilities of the 2020s, and it positioned his thinking directly at the intersection of property rights, AI development, and financial inclusion that defines the current moment.
