I am sure that Venezuela will be the first country where the cryptocurrency will win fiat money! They have no other choice! Inflation is appalling!

I agree with you men your right in the future they realize the importance adopting of bitcoin as decentralized cryptocurrency easy to use than fiat mony for all transactions using blockchain and internet connection.
Like some other country decide to ban bitcoin but in the end they turning back again to use and allowed people involving in crypto because they realize the importance how help their economy growth using cryptocurrency.

1 Bitcoin = 1,538,325,810,18 Bolívar Venezuela
The Venezuelan government also makes crypto currency as a solution to the economic disaster that is experienced today. The crypto currency named Petro was launched some time ago, supported by oil reserves owned by Venezuela.

imagine if there is no cryptocurrency

The Petro was laughed at by everyone in crypto and Venezuela. People in Venezuela do not want a currency backed by the same people who just caused hyperinflation in the country. Would you trust them while you're starving and people are fleeing the country just to be able to work and get food?

There are a lot of people in Venezuela in bitcoin and altcoins (because they're cheaper) and the government actually seizes their mining rigs because they want people to use the Bolivar only.

We've been researching Venezuela bitcoin and altcoin purchases for awhile now, to see where people in a fallen economy eventually get crypto currencies that can't be controlled by governments. 

Nobody trusts the Venezuelan government inside or outside the country though.

Bitcoin serves as a hedge to unstable currencies or governments that do not respect private property. It is an excellent means for people to store their wealth and take it across borders in case an unruly government decides to arbitrarily seize property.

Cryptocurrency will surely rule Venezuela without any doubt. People will obviously give crypto priority over the fiat because of the inflation.

There are many risks in the traditional currency system. If we buy anything we need to pay extra fees somewhere. It’s a burden to the people. Then there is a risk of inflation in the traditional currency. So, choosing cryptocurrency is the best option to use.

Cryptocurrency is the best currency for the transaction. It is easy to make payment using cryptocurrency. There is no inflation also in the crypto market. Venezuelans have done a great work. This is a great sign of future currency system.

It’s a great step taken by the Venezuelans. The merits of using bitcoin a lot. Anyone can buy anything using bitcoin at any time without paying extra fees. Thumbs up to the Venezuelans for taking this step.

The Bolivar has nothing more to lose. The people who are clinging to life despite their economic hell still have everything to lose.

Lol what? The article says the government is actively trying to shut down exchanges because access to crypto apparently threatens their control over the economy. They're obviously grasping at straws because we all know that ship has sailed. VPNs still work though, so that's great I guess.

I think Venezuela is utilizing this decentralized currency system very well. We all should accept cryptocurrencies. Because it gives some major benefits over the fiat money.

I believe that they should embrace cryptos and tax use of them otherwise they are missing out on a nigcechunk of taxes and forcing these people to go underground.
As far as I have seen in some videos, the situation is very bad in their country . I hope they wil get out of this unfortunate situation.

I expect every dictatorship or shakey government that has a fear of their currency easily failing to start being against bitcoin as a capitalist weapon or something along that line, your North Korea's, Iran and Venezuelas.

the good thing about a decentralized currency like bitcoin is that nobody can do anything about it. it doesn't matter what the government of some countries may say about bitcoin, people will continue using it because they can not prevent it. even if they shut down the internet, you still can continue using bitcoin using satellite and radio waves to download the blockchain and send your tans cations to the network.
and that is how powerful bitcoin is.

There is a FOMO brewing...

People will try to use this technology because it is faster and cheaper than the traditional transaction system. I don't quite understand why crypto is called as a oppressor here.
