Excellent post! I heard about crypto-bitcoin in 2009 but I didn't take it serious. This is one of my biggest mistake that I regretted so much. Imagine if I had invested $1 into bitcoin I will be a millionaire today.
I advice people to hodl their Cryptos like never before: ignore all the FUDs about btc and alternate coins, they are simply bad publicity that will eventually add high value to Cryptos.
Presently, I'm 100 percent into digital coins through participating in ICOs, etc. So hodl on to your Cryptos and ignore the FUDs, you will be glad you did.
Lastly, my heart goes out to the Venezuelans, it is a horrible thing that they are forced to convert their currency into mere production materials. But on the bright side of things, I think that idea of using their currency to produce bags, etc is being resourceful.
