What a greedy bastard the government there is. It looks more like a project that is meant to attract capital, than serving as actual payment tool for people in the country there. People there shouldn't want to get involved in such a shitty "project" reeking of greed. I seriously wish Bitcoin had LN enabled, which would be a tremendous help for the people there. They need a reliable and non governmental currency to work with, and not something issued by a government only out to nurse its own greed. It's again ME ME ME ME what Maduro is doing, which I am afraid of will push people there even in deeper problems when everything collapses.
