Wow. From 450 and increased up to 85,000 users? I guess bitcoin is their only hero there because their economy is failing. Theres no use holding fiat due to devaluation. Bitcoin can really help them getting out of this mess. Good thing, theres a lot of place there that accepting bitcoin. Here in my country, only few places like shops or companies accepting bitcoin. And due to continous jncreasing of price in the market. The government make a statement that they will make some changes to regulate bitcoin in their own way.
That's just the increase of users from one Venezuelan exchange, the total number of users is much more, since they could also be using other exchanges and LocalBitcoins.
Just pasting that part of the article to avoid further confusion.
Since August 2014, Venezuelan bitcoin exchange Surbitcoin has also seen a surge in cryptocurrency users from 450 to over 85,000. It is a clear indication that Bitcoin is being increasingly favored over the free-falling Bolivar.
