**Presentation:**

Dear Polkadot Community
I am Il Marchese del Crypto, an Italian content creator who has been producing cryptocurrency-related content on YouTube for about 4 years. Over time, I have created numerous free content pieces purely out of passion and for studying the Polkadot ecosystem. I believe I have made a significant contribution, albeit small, to spreading knowledge about this fantastic world of Polkadot and its ecosystem.

Through my YouTube channel [link to your channel], I have crafted various content pieces for Polkadot, directing many individuals to the Italian Telegram group managed by Luca Poggi and many others to relevant groups based on their interests, such as Moonbeam, Acala, Manta Network, Astar, Parallel, and more.

Currently, I update my followers once or twice a week with Dot chart analysis and cryptocurrency sector news. Furthermore, I have provided detailed instructions on how to participate in crowdloans on Polkadot, explained the basics of Polkadot Js, and introduced the Talisman Wallet.

Through my public Telegram group, I have assisted several individuals by providing information on various aspects of using the Polkadot blockchain, such as staking Dot, participating in nomination pools, withdrawing auction rewards, and more.

Here are some of the contents I've created on Polkadot:

15. [Live discussion with Luca Poggi, Italian Polkadot Admin, on "Is Polkadot resurrecting? Polkadot 2.0"](https://youtube.com/live/pvYStfehwXQ)

All this work has been done from 2020 to 2024, and I will continue to produce content, including updates on Polkadot news and its ecosystem.

With this request, I ask for compensation in Dot for my contribution to Polkadot's growth and to continue producing useful content. I believe that the time, effort, and study I have invested deserve recognition, but the decision is yours.

for prove the ownership of this account and Youtube, i insert this note in video description: 
"Update 24/03/2024: I have just launched a funding request on Polkadot's Open Gov for the work done in the growth of the DOT ecosystem."  under this live: https://youtube.com/live/pvYStfehwXQ
