Topic: [2016-03-25]Venezuelan Government Launches Anti-Bitcoin Campaign - page 2. (Read 1357 times)
Am I the only one who sees such stories as something positive? People in countries like Venezuela are aware that they're being fed with government propaganda and many will do the opposite of whatever the official advise is.
Therefore it's essentially free advertising campaign in the national tv channel. Although people may not be able to legally trade BTC (not sure on that tho) if the Bitcoin awareness and demand is high, they'll easily find a way to bypass any restrictions.
Venezuelans don't need bitcoin, the socialist system will provide.
A few days ago faucets from Venezuela have stopped work,now I've got the answer why.Poor country with a monthly salary around 20$ and government who cares only for themselves.And when people attempt to improve their standard of living,government declare them criminals.
Just like I predicted in my previous posts... This could be a problem for Bitcoin, more & more terrorists are expected to rise, and the blame could go on Bitcoin. Governments would think that sending, receiving & storing money anonymously could help terrorists.
Bitcoin is the currency of rapists? That is a new one - something which I haven't heard of until now.
As usual, they are trying to blame the high inflation on external factors rather than the government's mismanagement.

For Venezuelans, it is not a secret the damage that it has caused to the economy and that it is being pushed and promoted via website like Dollar Today, that it has got an illegal and criminal exchange rate that has caused severe damage to the national economy, causing increased levels of inflation which don’t match normal parameters of economic development

The state-owned public television network of Venezuela has launched an anti-Bitcoin campaign. In a recent article published on their website, ‘Corporación Venezolana de Televisión’ claims that the bitcoin is “the ideal currency of ‘the dark side of the internet’, a kind of tax haven for drug dealers, rapists or any criminal”.
‘Corporación Venezolana de Televisión’ is the Spanish for Venezuelan Television Corporation. It is based in Caracas, Venezuela.
‘Tool to evade taxes, launder money and damage the economy’
In a translation of the article from Spanish to English, provided by Reddit user, /u/Avatar-X, the article opens with the very bold statement:
