The economic and commercial wars are typical of capitalism the disputes for the control of the market between capitalists is every day from taxes and tariffs to foreign products or resort to practices of lowering prices to break the competition to the sabotage of destruction of competition materials.

Capitalism monopolizes the world market and enters into conflict with other nations for the control of markets which has led economic war to military wars. Of course, to the "underdeveloped" countries are subject to trade conditions, those that try to resist are subjected to financial economic sanctions without forgetting the military invasion.

Venezuela is a backward country and its small bourgeois nationalist government with bonapartist overtones when entering into conflict with the imperial nations will be subjected to all these economic warfare practices.

The financial sanctions are one of those practices not allow the flow of money product of oil exports not allow to acquire debt to refinance and affects the exchange rate. The Venezuelan capitalist government plays with capitalist rules, therefore it will be subject to these rules

This is why Petro is created as a way to escape the world financial system and thus obtain dollars to finance itself, bet to play in the world capitalist system, place a price in dollars for the change of its virtual currency and it supports Oil Reserves similar to an action that represents part of the capital of a company and that sows expectations of its growth and is sold on the stock exchange.

The Petro is sold by the Venezuelan government and then those who own it treasure it or sell it according to their wishes. That is the same speculative practice where the capitalists steal from each other in the stock market, the Petro does not have an expiration date and no pay interest or dividends

But can the Petro escape the financial system?.... no, as we saw the Petro has to be measured in dollars like all cryptocurrencies, because its purpose is to treasure or obtain profits, without backup Bitcoin case where its price started at "1 Dollar a Bitcoin" and reached speculatively the sum of $ 20,000.00, or those currencies supported by capitalists, the dollar as you know is already controlled by the US and electronic currencies will circulate as it suits the US who controls all the movement of capital and if at some point (who are already taking that action) decided his death just by meeting the US federal reserve and its European and Japanese partners would declare the death of cryptocurrencies.
