Venezuela is now a poster kid as to how Bitcoin can be helping a country mired in deep economic problems and chaotic political environment.

I sympathize with the people of Venezuela as they failed to vet for leaders that can be working for the solutions instead of adding more problems or worse sprinkling salt and pepper to wounded knees of the Venezuelans.
