Among all the cryptoactives in the world,
I am the only one backed by a State based on its oil reserves and mineral resources,
is that why it is so much attack and so much attention?
Some call it fear.

Why hasn't the petro ICO launched yet? It was supposed to launch today at 08:30 VET, and the whitepaper still says it is. A terrible lack of planning. https://web.archive.org/web/20180320165941/http://elpetro.gob.ve/Whitepaper_Petro_es.pdf

I was just going to write the same. It's just the last of many problems till now with "El Petro".

According to an announcement of Maduro today the presale period only ends in two days.

This is what he had to say today:

Dentro de dos días culmina el período de preventa del petro.

Thanks for the update. The non compliance with the "whitepaper" stays; it's not the first one, it won't probably be the last.

Sure. Especially if you take into account that the presale which supposedly is going to end in two days didn't even start yet! (Not one single NEM blockchain token was actually sold so far.)

the Petro is the first cryptocurrency created and backed by a government and its reserves, making history.
yesterday, the dictator Donald Trump banned a cryptocurrency, the Petro.
this is the first time a cryptocurrency is banned by the U.S. imperialism, making history.
this is not a walk in the park, this is not a startup in sillicon valley creating a shitcoin backed by thin air that nobody cares.
if you don't like it, don't buy it.

Venezuela Rejects Petro Sanctions by Trump's 'Supremacist and Racist Dictatorship'

Venezuela's Foreign Ministry issued a comprehensive rejection of Trump's recent round of sanctions, this time aimed at the new Petro crypto-currency.

Following the announcement of yet more White House sanctions against Venezuela yesterday, Venezuela's government issued the following statement in rejection of Trump's measures.

BOLIVARIAN REPUBLIC OF VENEZUELA
MINISTRY OF PEOPLE'S POWER FOR FOREIGN RELATIONS
COMMUNIQUE

The Constitutional President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, on behalf of the government and the heroic Venezuelan People, rejects and strongly condemns the alleged and new unilateral sanctions of the Donald Trump dictatorship against the Venezuelan People and our financial and economic system.

These unilateral sanctions, in violation of the Charter of the United Nations and the most elementary principles of International Law governing civilized relations between sovereign States, constitute a new imperial aggression aimed at intensifying the attack on our People, pretending by way of the commercial blockade, financial persecution and economic boycott, to cause chaos in our economy, thereby breaking the will of our People and their resolution of freedom, peace and hope.

According to the United Nations Special Rapporteur, Mr. Alfred de Zayas, with its actions the Trump dictatorship commits "a crime against humanity that may be presented at the International Criminal Court as a violation of Article 7 of the Statute of Rome".

The Bolivarian Government denounces before the International Community the execution, once again, of a new conspiracy against the homeland of Bolivar, by the supremacist and racist dictatorship of the United States, whose purpose is to intensify the already repeated threats against our People, pretending with their interference, to subject us to a new genocide colonialism, thus attacking the free Peoples of the world.

Venezuela has taken a tremendous step towards the future by launching a revolutionary economic mechanism such as the Petro, backed by more than 5 billion barrels of oil, which will allow the country to break the ties with the dollar dictatorship, opening the doors to a firm consolidation of prosperity for our economic and productive system.

The Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, despite this new and gross interference, ratifies before the International Community and other sectors of the global economy, its firm, absolute and sovereign decision to continue promoting the Blockchain technology and make the Petro one of the most solid and reliable cryptocurrencies in the world.

With our People and the Petro, we shall prevail!

The level of the CNN and Times is pathetic, but what they say is also not new at all. The technological and military cooperation with Russia has been strong for many years now. I understand the Russophobic US audience might see this as another horrible quality of Maduro and chavistas. Nothing new in the media blockade against Venezuela!

Ignorance is bliss, hope for them. The Petro goes on and Venezuela with it.

Did you read the article? What is false?

[taseenb]

Did you read the article? What is false?

The piece tells nothing that wasn't already known. And it doesn't even try to describe the nature of the Russian involvement, because Times and CNN know nothing that you cannot easily find on the web.
But the tone of the article is pure FUD (obviously). The use of the word "regime" for example is the normal US propaganda bullshit people are fed by 24/7. Call it journalism.

"Experts have warned that a lot of it could go toward propping up his regime and enriching his allies."

Experts... LOL

[EHEP]

All of the "sources" of the TIME magazine article are ANONYMOUS, but I wouldn't have written to say this. What's important is that in its FAKE NEWS manner, TIME coincides with my belief, previously expressed, that China, Russia and other world powers would try to back Venezuela and its Petro initiative. That tends to strengthen the Petro and THAT'S WHY I WILL BUY EL PETRO.

The Petro site could be under a DDOS attack, it wouldn't be surprising. I suppose they will have to implement some protections.

The Petro website is back online. Nice new look.

The U.S. dictator issues an executive order to ban the venezuelan Petro.
Petro presale extended 48 hours.
Enough time to change your dollars and buy Petros with another currency or cryptocurrency.

Fuck Donald Trump and his racist genocide world dictatorship.
Buy Petros if you agree.

Agreed. But Venezuela should accept more secure cryptos too, like Monero and Zcash, so Americans can buy safely, without incurring in legal problems.
