Adoption of bitcoin will be increased more in the upcoming days and it’s great to see that Venezuela airport is accepting bitcoin. As soon as more future ETFs are got approval, we might see more good news like this one. Although few person's still spreading fuds by tagging that bitcoin is nothing or worthless. But those aren't matter to bitcoiners.

I hope you drop a link that we can review, because speculation alone is not enough. Because I want to read the whole news. Somehow they accept Bitcoin, while the economic development is getting worse, so would it really work if one of the airports accepted Bitcoin payments. Because after all, so far the airport is affiliated with local banks to carry out the cash disbursement process.

As mentioned by Fesatmas, it would better to share the link when posting such contents, so readers can have more information about what you are talking about.

This is just the easiest way for a transparent transaction and would also serve as a transparent ledger with detailed distributed peer-to-peer temper-proof network which would limit the stress of having bookers presenting manipulated ledgers because I so sure with the well structured data base and secured ledger used at the airport manipulation is still common and Bitcoin could help stop this

This is one advantage if they will deal with bitcoin or any crypto, because it will answer the transparency problem.
This is a long running problem where a lot of governments or government agencies are culprit of being corrupt.
I have the feeling that other international airports will follow such move, which is actually good for bitcoin adoption.
The experience of Venezuela with this implementation can easily be disclosed to others, so we will know if they are getting more positive benefits with this initiative if others will follow thru.

Mehn! This is amazing! The everyday-adoption is just making it interesting and even more. If the news continues just as positive as this, in no time, we'll have people understand that there are some other cool features aside the volatility of Bitcoin. And this will only keep creating an avenue for other businesses to reconsider and accept Bitcoin as a payment option.

I am not so surprised about the development in Venezuela. The country's currency has been suffering from so much hype inflation that they have been trying to make major monetary overhauls in the past few years.

CARACAS, Oct 1 (Reuters) - Venezuela on Friday launched its second monetary overhaul in three years by cutting six zeros from the bolivar currency in response to hyperinflation, simplifying accounting but doing little to ease the South American nation's economic crisis.
......

President Nicolas Maduro's government in 2018 removed five zeros from the currency due to high prices. That came a decade after the late President Hugo Chavez subtracted three zeros from the bolivar with the promise of single-digit inflation, which was not achieved.

This is where bitcoin plays a huge role to them.

If their Airport going to accept bitcoin I think they are late because there is a website already that offers flights that accept Bitcoin and other cryptos.
Unless if they are going to give less or more discounts when buying flight tickets on them.

Anyway travala.com is offering all flight destinations departing and returning and they are also offering flights from Venezuela so even they don't accept bitcoin travala is already accepting Bitcoin.

This is another good news and the rate of bitcoin adoption by public institutions is on the increase lately while we celebrate this great achievement, I will like to see the link to a website where this news is published and to get further details on this development. With the economic situation in Venezuela accepting Bitcoin in businesses and institutions will help boost and foster the pace of economic recovery and stability within that country.

I'm not surprised, because as far as I know Venezuela supports Cryptocurency. It seems like it's never too late, this is good news. I read if they not accept bitcoin only, they accep Dash, and Venezuelan Petro digital currency. Previously the Central Bank of Venezuela launched a central bank digital currency (CBDC), in addition to that in August, Turpial Airlines has accepted Bitcoin as payment for flight tickets. It's good to hear, meaning that the news of bitcoin adoption is getting more and more used. Regardless of belief I think venezuela is trying to fix their Economic problems.

I feel like we have finally broken the wall that was built on the bitcoin by a bunch of people from the early days that are saying that it is a bubble and it is not worth investing in it and it will die out soon, and that has opened up a lot of investment opportunities and projects, and i think that a lot of of those has brought some insurance for a lot of people especially since a lot of known CEOs and investors changed their mind about it and started looking at it as an asset that is brining a future.

That's great but you haven't provided a source for these news. Without a source it is not more than speculation. While you might be telling the truth, we just can't trust your word only, so next time maybe you tell us where you heard these rumors from so maybe other people try to reach the same source and can verify the information.

That is actually a bit weird coming out from Venezuela where we all know since many years the country is corrupt and actually this was the source of the world's first crypto run by a state. And where even exchanges needed license that you could only get if you were friends with the state's government.

And what a bad operation it was with not even a public working blockchain

First El Salvador and now (if true) Venezuela (this is big) are changing to world for good. Who would knew that these countries would lead the world crypto adoption while the westerner countries stay skeptical about it. Interesting times indeed. I think the west has a lot to learn from these two countries. I believe the rest of the world don't do them justice.

[Wexnident]

Slow and steady wins the race ig. There were some talks on how Venezuela views crypto favorably since their country's fiat was inflated so bad that residents needed some way to escape it, and crypto was one of the methods they could've used. It isn't exactly odd to see them adopting crypto, especially since El Salvador already took the lead in terms of adopting Bitcoin in being used. Though I would like to see instead eastern countries viewing crypto in a positive way though since we have those two to hold the fort in the western side.

I agree in principle,,, but as I said earlier, Venezuela does not have a good reputation with crypto already. They did the first state controlled crypto and it was such a bad implementation,,, not public, not even transparent and totally reflective of all the corruption the president and his cronies were known for.

Of course, if they return to BTC it is proof alts cannot really provide a good use case but let us see how this develops.

This is good news.

Venezuela is experiencing hyper inflation and they should really adopt payments in crypto to address their economical issue or solve some of the industries problem with payments of their customers.

It's not only bitcoin that they'll accept but as well as the other major crypto. I'm just surprised that Petro is still there which is also included because I thought that it's no longer existing.

From where I stand, we may see an increase in Bitcoin adoption but the real adoption will come when Bitcoin becomes easier to use. Besides, with the kind of transactions fees we pay, bitcoin becomes unfeasible to be used as a currency. That is why I think that altcoins will have a bigger and faster adoption than bitcoin in the coming years

The main potential for Bitcoin in Venezuelan people is the cashless transactions economy and this has a huge coverage...ranging from airport fees, airline tickets, bus fares, taxi charges and many, many more in the transportation and tourism sectors alone. Such a big market is now being opened for Bitcoin all because it is official recognized by the state. I am really hoping that Bitcoin can have a successful run in Venezuela especially in its first two years of implementation so other countries can also be enticed to do the same.
