They made centralized cryptocurrency without intentions for further technical development, and the "oil-backing" is just a phrase. They can convert Petro in any rate to bolivar (local currency) at any time.
No value added and no good news for starving Venezuelan citizens. Title: Re: Venezuela Launches Oil-Backed Cryptocurrency Petrocoin to Save Economic Crises Post by: dhemasm on February 23, 2018, 08:07:04 AM So it is more like a centralized digital currency And yes I agree with my opinion above. "Backed-Oil" Maybe just a figurative word, Idk is just my opinion I'll wait for further news.

Title: Re: Venezuela Launches Oil-Backed Cryptocurrency Petrocoin to Save Economic Crises Post by: o_e_l_e_o on February 23, 2018, 09:09:34 AM Please see my response to another thread about this coin. You are being complicit in innocent deaths if you invest in it.
No. Do NOT invest in this. Firstly, if you are American, you are breaching government sanctions against Venezuela if you invest (see https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/921931/petro-us-treasury-sanctions-cryptocurrency-bitcoin-ethereum-violation-venezuela (https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/921931/petro-us-treasury-sanctions-cryptocurrency-bitcoin-ethereum-violation-venezuela)). Any assests you have or gains you make will be seized, and you could face jail time. Secondly, it is morally reprehensible. You will literally be handing your money to a murderous dictatorship that is starving and killing the Venezuelan people. Thirdly, their oil sector is non existent. It is a shitcoin. Title: Re: Venezuela Launches Oil-Backed Cryptocurrency Petrocoin to Save Economic Crises Post by: maxxdxx on February 23, 2018, 06:09:23 PM I read it's an Ethereum-based ERC20 token. This is great for crypto and BTC in particular, because in the end, the Petro will have to trade against BTC to finds its true value, which should wake up a lot of people to what were trying to do here.

You are being complicit in innocent deaths if you invest in it. Fully agree！No. Do NOT invest in this.

Title: Re: Venezuela Launches Oil-Backed Cryptocurrency Petrocoin to Save Economic Crises Post by: markj113 on February 23, 2018, 06:17:17 PM Are sanctions helping to cause the starvation and death the Venezuelan people?
Imposed sanctions never have a negative impact on those at the top of the tree, just the everyday people that cant get food or essential medical care products.
