I'll believe that when I see any evidence of it. Until then it's a bunch of balls cooked up by tossers on r/bitcoin. There's a slight difference between an entire nation and a few hundred people.
Lol, I love your skepticism.
I was browsing Youtube a few weeks ago, and I saw some videos about Dash being used in Venezuela and there was even a coffee shop with a big Dash logo on it. I'm skeptical as well, but they made a moderately convincing argument that Dash is actually being used in Venezuela and is growing in popularity. But what the hell, who knows what the actual numbers are--it could well be just a few hundred people for all I know, but it didn't sound that way.
The thing is, countries that are in trouble tend to adopt another stable fiat currency when their own fails, and a lot of times it's the US dollar. There are quite a few countries in S. America where those stupid golden dollar coins are very popular. If you come across one in the US that's really worn, it's probably seen action in Ecuador or one of its neighboring countries.
