I didnt expect to see the nationalization of cryptoscamming take place this early lol.
The skepticism in the thread is expected but spare us the "analysis". Venezuela's president is scamming his own people the same way some of the ICO scammers are scamming the Bitcoin community. Believe me, politicians always have their own agenda.
But you have to be impressed. Hes taking scamming on a higher level lol.
We can never tell if what will be the agenda of the president of Venezuela maybe they are taking the bitcoin value at the highest level since if this happen all of the people there will be force to use bitcoin for their every transaction and I hope this project will not let bitcoin down.
Why would this petrocoin influence the bitcoin price in a positive way?
And furthermore if the goverment of Venezuela wants to make their crapcoin succesful they are for sure not going to force people to se bitcoin but their altcoin.They might even go to the next level and declare that the petrocoin is the only legal crypto and thus outlawing bitcoin.
There is nothing positive for bitcoin in goverments decisions to create their centralized coins.
This maybe the solution for the failing economy of Venezuela. They wanted to get out of USA's chronosphere. Decentralization is the way to go but I had my doubt on this but i wish Venezuela the best of luck.
At least Venezuella will not depend on USD. USD reserved will take a lot of Vene income. With iCO petro and more other ICos venezuella will earn fresh income from investors and possesion. If they used crypto totally, I think it is impossible because not all people are cryopto familiar. Many poor people in rural area may not know cryptocurrency.
If those brainwashed socialist in Venezuela want to ditch the dollar they should do two things first :
1) Stop selling oil to the US (but that would bankrupt them)
2) Stop accepting $ in humanitarian aid
Maduro is an idiot, de-dolarization ? Good luck with that when your main export market is the US !!!!
Yeah right!!!
Maduro is claiming billions in investments and Venezuelans are fighting over scraps of food.
Btw, he will need those billions for real:
