Well since their bolivar is going down I wouldn't be surprised that they'd exchange them for bitcoins to avoid losing even more value. Now the only problem I'm seeing now is that since their currency is being devalued at the same time btc prices are going up, how will they even get a bitcoin? Are there really people out there willing to buy bolivars for bitcoins? Could be people speculating the currency would recover?
Anyway, it's nice to know that bitcoins are being used to relieve these people of hardship. I just hope that the government don't start on a crackdown on bitcoin use in the country.
As far as I can tell the only way they can get bitcoins is to mine them (I think they have very cheap electricity). Or mine an alt (easier difficulty) and change the alts into bitcoin. But their govt is cracking down on miners. It's well nigh impossible for them to buy bitcoin as their currency is worthless, it can barely purchase a loaf of bread.
