Title: What happened to the Petro? Post by: MbyzIco on March 25, 2019, 03:58:17 PM Even the same question in the title could be taken as misleading, sarcastic or Scam, and the truth is that the question is more serious than you might think ... I've been finding out about the Petro, and it happens that there is no information in the forum from the month of March 2018, to date appeared a couple of characters interested in selling a "supposed" position in Petros of which they have and I have even found some people in Italy willing to buy it with a certain discount making it very attractive , they speak up to 20%.
Does anyone know how everything goes with the petro, is it redeemable? affordable? or any information beyond the March 2018 announcement. Title: Re: What happened to the Petro?

And it has turned into a scam, i have no idea about the future of this one. Almost all countries have declared petro as a scam and they will not accept it. I will try to avoid this coin if i a part of those investors. It's too risky.

Post by: dive-coin on March 25, 2019, 04:30:42 PM Petro is a shame of crypto world, what could have been a good example of how blockchain/crypto solves people's problems turned out to be a complete scam.
However, when the ocean rises, water fills lowlands and valleys first. Be it Venezuela or another country, one day national cryptocurrency will be a perfect answer to country's problems.

Petro was very promising coin before, but due to Political turmoil happening on Venezuela thats why it will drag out its purpose and value since Petro was originated in that said country thats why its very dangerous to invest Petro right now Just take extra precaution to avoid future losses. its my opinion only.Does anyone know how everything goes with the petro, is it redeemable? affordable? or any information beyond the March 2018 announcement.

Petro could have been a very good example on how crypto can solve a real world problem but it seems like the political turmoil eats it all. The self-declared interim president Juan Guaido (recognized by Germany, the U.S. and Canada) had declared Petro as a scam currency long back! Also now US has started taking actions against banks that had supposedly supported financing petro during its initial stage. Last and the most important fact is that the Petro is backed by oil barrels produced by the national oil company PDVSA and this company also has debts amounting to $45 billion. So you can guess what is suppose to happen! Title: Re: What happened to the Petro?

It seems Petro in the current situation that is in Venezuela will prove to be a complete failure. Petro has virtually no support from the Venezuelan government at the moment, so there is nothing to count on any development or success of this cryptocurrency. Title: Re: What happened to the Petro?

Petro was never a promising coin. Politically governed crypto coin is a bad joke. It's something almost identical to fiat currency, just not handled by banks and not regulated, so even more affected by politicians' caprices than the usual fiat. It's simply designed to end up as a scam, in the terms we know it. So why bother? And how on earth call it promising? Title: Re: What happened to the Petro?

The Bolivar has many problems but being a FIAT currency is the least of them all. The country is under a financial siege by the US. Under these circumstances it doesn't matter whether you use Crypto or FIAT. USA or Germany switching from FIAT to Crypto will result in a different outcome than Venezuela doing the same. Title: Re: What happened to the Petro? Post by: rosezionjohn on March 25, 2019, 06:48:51 PM It never really took off. Aside from being a national cryptocurrency that's backed by oil and the news that pensioners were forced to accept Petro as payment, I haven't heard or read anything significant. I believe the crypto community in Venezuela prefers to use cryptos like Dash, LTC, BTC than Petro

Title: Re: What happened to the Petro? Post by: mrdeposit on March 25, 2019, 09:14:29 PM I do not know what happened to this money afterwards, but you should look at the ANN on the forum and telegram groups. This step of Venezuela was a remarkable step, I hope you will get better results.
Title: Re: What happened to the Petro? Post by: tabas on March 25, 2019, 09:47:59 PM Is this the one that's made by Venezuela? if you are interested to it, you better save your money for something else.

Post by: beeelzebub on March 26, 2019, 12:55:44 PM It was a scam just not some fake team members was behind it, a government were behind it, a corrupt one of course.
At least, as far as i know, no-one got scammed. Title: Re: What happened to the Petro? Post by: Leonardo7 on March 26, 2019, 01:44:23 PM Politics was out to kill Petro, Venezuela government has a political issue with the US government, even their current troubled president really doesn't mean well for the oil-rich country, with this, even if the Petro initially proved to be successful and promising, but the future can't be guaranteed because of unstable politics in Venezuela.
Title: Re: What happened to the Petro? Post by: wuvdoll on March 28, 2019, 09:14:37 PM I don't really trust projects like this, because no matter how good they try to become, they always end up becoming a scam, I am a victim to this kind of scam and I am not ready to fall victim of any scam platform because I haven't even recovered from the one I fall into which was the popular bitconnect scam that made a lot of persons lose huge amount of money because the admin dumped their coin overnight, as if that wasn't enough, regal coin came with it's own exist scam and I also lost a lot of funds.

Title: Re: What happened to the Petro? Post by: Serve20 on March 30, 2019, 07:12:51 PM So far Venezuela has a political battle with the world most powerful and most advanced economy, there is no way Petro will survive so I don't it has a big deal for it not to be calling the shot now in the industry. Petro is not good for long-term investment because there are a lot of uncertainties on the political situation of Venezuela
Title: Re: What happened to the Petro? Post by: peter0425 on March 30, 2019, 07:21:36 PM You can't find anything because it was a scam coin perpetuated by Maduro to circumvent the US led embargo. And the reported like $300m or more investment? It was fake, not even Russia investment on it (as previously reported). So if you find people to invest, then advise them not to, because most likely they will just lose their funds.

So if you find people to invest, then advise them not to, because most likely they will just lose their funds. The truth is well away from there, nobody can trust the signal of a dictator, also with all the problems that Venezuela has, that talking about Petro would not make sense, nevertheless, it is necessary that you know that the petro is a scam, not has and will never have a future. The only people who speak of Petro well are the people who are with Maduro, and the truth is, they do not know very well themselves, it is a total disaster. Title: Re: What happened to the Petro? Post by: Tylev on March 31, 2019, 05:20:15 AM In principle, the idea of a centralized national cryptocurrency supported by oil was pretty good for Venezuela. However, this was ruined by the political struggle both within the country and abroad. Now in this country there is a complete crisis in everything, including the negative attitude towards El-Petro by the opposition, who link this coin with its creator, President Maduro. The military began to intervene in the situation with Russia, which invested more than ten billion dollars in the Maduro regime and now do not want to lose them along with Maduro's shift.
Title: Re: What happened to the Petro? Post by: HouseStark on May 29, 2019, 11:38:33 AM Petro has some bad international reputation from various countries and that's why it's been pushed deep into shadows. Unless Venezuela decides to give no damn about any other country (which of course Maduro has shown he'll do), then maybe they can come into the limelight but the actual question is that who'll even use it? Because we know that internationally, countries wont use that to trade oil with Venezuela.
Title: Re: What happened to the Petro? Post by: Adriano2010 on May 29, 2019, 04:32:58 PM Better avoid it because is risky and try to focus on old coins with history because only them will give you a profit over time, they already give a profit for who buy longer time ago, and again will give a profit.
Title: Re: What happened to the Petro? Post by: premiumproductss on May 29, 2019, 04:43:47 PM Petro is a good example what will happen to all centralized coins when the centralized power fail to manage it in a good way. Next is Facebook coin ;D.
Title: Re: What happened to the Petro? Post by: qwizzie on May 29, 2019, 04:48:54 PM https://dashnews.org/new-venezuelan-petroapp-reportedly-enables-purchases-with-cryptocurrency/
Quote This new PetroApp appears to enable consumers to make purchases of the Petro with either Dash, Litecoin, or Bitcoin. The website claims to allow users to “manage [their] Petros, Bitcoins, Litecoins and Dash in one place” and that the “PetroApp gives [users] the wallets for each of these cryptocurrencies”. The website also proclaims that users can “buy Petros conveniently from [their] device, with Bitcoins, Litecoins and Dash”, and “pay for goods and services in Petros”. Quote The Petro has had limited details released and many of the facts keep changing, such as how many used to believe that the Petro was based on NEM or ETH, but it was later revealed to be “a blatant Dash clone”. However, rather than appealing to cryptocurrencies’ soundness in code as a backing asset, the Petro appeals to being “backed by part of the Venezuelan State’s natural reserves”. Additionally, there are still many uncertainties about what the Petro is actually worth. The Venezuelan government has supposedly pegged their sovereign bolivar so that “as a ‘unit of account’ the Petro’s value is to be of 9,000 sovereign bolivars”, according to their central bank’s announcement. |
