This is why Venezuela will be the first country to adopt a virtual currency.

0.37 Bitcoins o almost 12 Us$

It loos like a lot of money, but is the equivalent to half of the monthly minimum wage

>>>>

>>>>

I must have read that wrong somehow
0.37 Bitcoins does not equal $12 US
0.37 Bitcoins = $100 US (@270 US/ BTC)

Im pretty sure the op, got the price value wrong, but seeing the picture he probably meant $120?

Which is what they earn half a months wage which is still a lot to them.

He already edited it. That means minimum wage in Venezuela is $24. That is very shocking. Most people with jobs earn $100+ a day.

I am still looking to purchase a large amount of these bills at the black market rates if anyone is able to get ahold of them and ship them to the states. There would be a nice payment to the person able to procure these for their efforts.

i could try, but most of the couriers here wont let me send those amount of bills, or i guess i can figure how, anyway, i can find any amount of any type of banknotes, (bsf 2, 5 and 10 the lowest)il will send you a pm

the crime is related to the area.i live 12 hours far away from Caracas, the center. The crime is more prevalent in the big cities, like Valencia, Maracay and Caracas.

Here is a relative safe place to live, i mean, the only bad this that happened our family has been one time my dad car got stolen while he was waiting for the door to open and other car that got stolen while a worker was driving but the police recovered the car thanks to the gps.

we are mining since middle of this year and we have never seen a electricity bill so i could say its free for us Cheesy

i spend the most of the time inside my house while getting btc from our small family farm

I had no clue Venezuela was doing that bad. They could actually earn a months salary with a signature campaign Cheesy

You could actually be rich with a signature campaign but you can also get shot if you go there so i'd rather stay in my country where the value is lower than get shot in a country where life quality is bad

I would speculate that anyone from the USA or Europe who otherwise goes to Venezuela for other reasons could bring along some BTC with them (hardware or online wallet) and make some easy BOLIVARES in trade (so enjoy your steaks!), similar to what I hear people do when they visit Argentina.

More BTC in Venezuela is a good thing. Good for someone bringing BTC there, and good for the local buyers who have some safety for their wealth.

* * *

I am not in a good position to comment, but I would *guess* that setting up a mining operation there would NOT be a good idea. Crime and all (as pointed out above). Venezuela even before Chavez/Maduro was always a higher-crime place than was widely thought.

Could someone tell me more info about electricity rate in Venezuela? in us $ please.

it's pretty cheap, there is one guy in the mining section, who is offering a renting service

then you have this useful thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--1231822, the problem seems security, too much criminal going on there, maybe if you can build a subterrain thing that is well hidden...

Yes, if there is a cheap electricity. Cheesy

But mainly I'm interested in the exchange rate.
I would like to know if I'll be a millionaire in Venezuela: D

The only problem is how the community works. Crime could be very prevalent in the areas if there's not a reasonable way to get money and that could be a problem if you're particularly rich in Venezuela.

There's always that risk factor to it Wink

holy crap.

Then yes, thats one of the few countries will prosper from bitcoin esp. It might even bring business based on them having enough capital to start their own business.

I didnt know it effected by that much though, a half months salary is what I make every week then..

They need cryptocurrencies very badly in Venezuela. I doubt they will adopt it seeing the shape of the country right now.

and this is a graph of venezuela and us$ exchange rate

I read here that they had, I quote: "four exchange rates: two that the government uses to pay for its imports, the unofficial (black market) rate and a new one Maduro introduced Thursday." The article is from February 20, 2015, so the Thursday they're talking about is from February 2015 too.

I'm saying that because your chart is indeed very impressive and scary but when I tried to verify the information on ADVFN I found this (which actually compares euros to bolivar because I couldn't find USD/VEF on ADVFN, but that doesn't explain the gap between your chart and these anyway):

Now this chart is faaaaaaaaaar less alarmist. So far that it doesn't even seem like they're talking about the same thing (but they are). So, is it because they are based on two different exchange rates? And if so, how can they be so different? I mean it's day and night that we're talking about, here. The rate presented on ADVFN is still showing that the bolivar is losing ground, but the scale is much less frightening than on your chart.

Haha, those are great. I suppose if those notes are basically worth exactly the paper they're printed on, why not use them as a canvas? And I say again, they are very nice looking bills.
