Venezuela is in despair, the people do not have food, and soon a revolt will break out, much more serious than the disorders that have existed to date.
The announcement of the creation of a local cryptocurrency is just an attempt to raise some money.

They just keep coming up with awful ideas which will most likely end up being failures. First, the Petro, a cryptocurrency that no one uses, has no legitimacy, and was clasified as a "scam" by a lot crypto sites [1], and now a central back for cryptos? Terrible idea.

Another crazy idea or does the idea have potential?
Do you even need to ask that question?

A country that's going through its worst economic crisis in its history, with a dictatoship that doesn't care the hyperinflation might reach 1 million percent by the of the year [2], wants to create a central bank for cryptocurrencies (which is the last thing cryptos want, a central bank system) because the govt wants to have more control over its citizens...No, I don't think this idea has potential.

Tbh, a central back for cryptos is the last thing the citizens of Venezuela need, they need food, electricty, medicines, etc.

I'm more than positive that this idea will not gonna push thru.
Crypto is not meant to be centralized and for so long, that kind of freedom is enjoyed by crypto enthusiasts and the likes.
This is not the solution to what is happening with their economic situation.
This will just pave the way of getting money from crypto users, in which, beforehand, crypto is free from taxes and other charges.
Remember that the corruption in Venezuela is high by world standards. They can think of better solution other than tapping the crypto community.

Politicians won't stop being funny.
The government is basically trying to Centralize Cryptocurrencies it wishes to control.
It is probably an attempt to get rid of transparency and other important features of decentralized Cryptocurrency in order to manipulate the Cryptocurrencies as they wish and possibly destroy them like the national fiat that currently has no value.



Not necessarily,Venezuela is known for it's current inflation crisis.It may be just a legit step to fight against their problem by generalizing the use of cryptocurrencies.I mean,yeah it may destroy decentralization at some point,but they don't have much of choice actually.

This is their last attempt, grasping at straws. They've kind of backed themselves into a corner with the hyperinflation as money can't hold the value of the paper it's being printed on anymore. Is it necessarily a bad thing though? I'd say it's a step forward because they are moving crypto into the mainstream.

However, the centralized nature of it will be a signal to other countries as well: we can still control our money even if it is digital. You'll probably see Sweden or Norway try something similar next.

This is where the market is heading. Crypto is becoming controlled by the banks.

After the blockchain-based Crypto Petro Dollar, the Venezuelan government probably has a new idea to get foreign currency into the country. It wants to set up and build up a central bank for cryptocurrencies. Another crazy idea or does the idea have potential?

Im not familiar with the country and its current economical status, but based on what everyone is saying, that Venezuela had an economic crisis. Well, based on the fact that this certain country is currently facing, building a central bank doesnt directly benifit the people but the government will be the first hand, as they are just trying to control everything in terms of financial assets, while putting ridiculous transaction fees and taxes in cryptocurrency.

The government in Venezuela are as corrupt and incompetent as they get. The fact that they are involved in crypto is not a good thing in total for the crypto community, they are a laughing stock and giving the entire ecosystem a bad reputation.

I think the government already run out of idea, actually its a bad idea to launch such a thing, crypto can be a temporary solution to save the economic but in long term there will be a lot of controversy thing, and central bank for crypto is bad idea, but I am curious about the result, this can be a reference for other country government observations

the very essence of cryptocurrencies are they are decentralized in nature, if anyone tries to make it centralized in any way will kill the system, one cryptos are manipulated, it will be like fiats, one become centralized, monopoly takes place. it cannot be done and should not be push through, if it does, then fiats and cryptos will not be different with one another. yeah, this is one hell of a crazy idea, clearly an FUD move.

I do not have much capacity to comment and say anything about it. I just want to see how the regulation of the Central Bank of Cryptocurrencs established by the Venezuela works. As we know Crypto is decentralize framework,everyone is free to get in. Through this regulation doses it still work the same or has  difference or even better than now.

Regardless the pros and Contra of building and establish a central Bank of Cryptocurrency, thes all are as the impact of the growth and development of Cryptocurrencies. The idea or plan to build a Bank is probably should be decided and taken by the government of Venezuela. I am as one of the users of Cryptocurrencies who are out of Venezuela just want to see how the policies regulate Cryptocurrencies.

I really love the idea of the Venezuelan Government. As for me, I welcome any good news that has to do with cryptocurrency especially when it comes to government's support. Things like this will make crypto stronger.

A Central Bank for Cryptocurrencies is a joke by definition!
The characteristic of the crypto coins is decentralization, if there is a central control they are no longer crypto coins!
These banks still have something that is not sympathetic. Feeling the presence of electronic money makes them uncomfortable. Stop losing good food. May be showing bad thoughts. Not sympathetic to this community.
