Uh dudes? Venezuela is fucked because we (America) fucked them. Venezuela is trying to challenge the petrodollar and we don't like that. It's going to be very interesting to see where this Petro coin goes. It is a direct challenge to American oil dominance. That's why Russia gave them an award.

Petro is just a debt bond disguised as crypto, to avoid the US/EU sanctions on potential US/European investors.

They claim to back their currency with their oil reserves, so they ask for money to exploit them, as PDVSA, marred with corruption, it's practically out of business because of it, and the Russians/Chinese need their money/debt paid. So, they need money from somewhere else. Goldman Sachs fell for that last year with those PDVSA bonds, and now they lost 30% of the value, and paying every 4 months, with Venezuela in default. Also, they're imprisoning high level executives from partner oil companies that reject to sign direct supply contracts - prone to corruption - accusing them as traitors.

Would you trust a government that is using everyone's money in their own discretion to buy their crypto?

It's not just a geopolitical issue (that i could agree on) but man, PETRO IS JUST A FUCKING SCAM COIN.

RUSSIANS HAD TO GIVE AN AWARD TO THEM BECAUSE IT'S THE ONLY WAY THAT VENEZUELA HAS A POSSIBILTY TO PAY THEM THE MONEY THEY MISMANAGED (STOLE)

More often, we’re told of Maduro’s “economic incompetence,” government “mismanagement of funds,” and “rampant corruption.”

BECAUSE THEY ARE CORRUPT. THE US IS NOT STEALING OUR RESOURCES. THEY ARE.

Btw, have I talked about socialism?

I invite you to do some research about Venezuela overall foreign debt. You will change your mind.

The economic problem of Venezuela is that we are one of the 5 petro-states that exist in the world - none is democratic by the way - which implies that the dependence on oil is immense, with a historical overvalued exchange rate is very difficult generate incentives for production to be profitable ... Terry Lyn Karl speaks in her book "paradox of plenty"

On the other hand, the theory of "economic war" is meaningless because between 1999 and 2014, Venezuela received US $ 960,589 million. An average of US $ 56,500 million per year for 17 years, and for a population of 32 million inhabitants the GDP per capita would be 17656.25 without working, which explains the large increase in public spending. On the other hand, the expropriation of companies in addition to an increasingly hostile environment for production avoided the capacity of producers who did not depend on the government's gifts ...

When a government does not encourage production and break the institutions, the result will be this, here and everywhere ... but for your knowledge this is not the first time something like this happens ... in 1973 the prices of the oil rose so that the government of the day - Carlos Andres Perez - expanded public spending and when they fell in 76 the economy suffered, leading to what is known as "black Friday" which is very different from yours ...

I recommend that if you want a discussion, look for someone who knows, because this disaster is largely the fault of the corrupt and miserable government that we have, I do not accept that someone who does not know and does not live here speaks so lightly of these issues. The same I leave my article for you to read some interesting facts. regards

Ah another thing ... "EL petro" is not a cryptocurrency because these are fiduciary instruments, as opposed to an e - commodity, so their non - acceptance in the markets are obvious

One reason Maduro is so despised by the opposition is that he refuses to follow the neoliberal economic prescription of austerity, privatization, deregulation, etc. Such refusal makes Venezuela almost unique in Latin America now.

More often, we’re told of Maduro’s “economic incompetence,” government “mismanagement of funds,” and “rampant corruption.”

Okay, you are clearly misinforming people. I do live in Venezuela and to be honest you are just uninformed about the situation here. What actually gives Venezuelans the chance to live is capitalism, the creation of a parallel market has been a blessing to the people, if there were any people would starve due to the shortage, just as North-Korea. So please instead of just basing your argument on one side of the coin, check the other one.

The United States has made a lot bad to the world but our situation has nothing to do with the US, we created a platform called "socialism of the 21st century" that produce famine, starvation, misery, institutional corruption, and bureaucracy, and had promoted anti-values.

So please, Instead of spreading lies hold on a second, we can all have opinions about which system is the best one. However, don't try to misinform people. Because my country was ruined by the people that elected this government, not because of foreign intervention.

The "fact" that you are from Venezuela doesn't give you any increased clout in this argument. I looked for the facts and this is what I found. I wasn't biased about it.

blackliberal (55) · 7 years ago

I'm just giving you the truth, I have no need to use sources because there are plenty of sources that talk about the failure of the system here in Venezuela, the "fact" that you represent a case of cognitive dissonance, does not make you the right person to talk about the situation.

You are biased as the same way I'm, we both can use information on our own support. What I'm trying to say is that instead of looking at one side of the coin, read more about it. You are misinformed.

You should use critical thinking and read both parts of the coin. A centralized cryptocurrency cannot destabilize the US or the Petrodollar, it makes no sense, is just the same thing as creating a currency based on gold or something, it does not have any impact in the world bc there are already plenty of them. Currencies are all about trust, not value.

aggroed (78) · 7 years ago

I'm going with edicted on this. I'm not sure that the VZ crypto will do it for a variety of reasons, but asset backed currency is the bane of the central bank system. Central banks use fiat dollars. Completely valueless things backed by violence of the state and infinitely printable. An asset backed currency is certainly a better value to holders because it should theoretically be harder to print into oblivion. Thus people would choose to hold non fiat dollars and that's a threat to the central banks.

Agree the Petrodollar issue doesn't help at all. The state oil company (PDVSA) is in financial trouble too. You know it's bad when the Chinese and Russian's don't even want to take over major oil refineries like Paraguaná. There are $9 billion in bond payments coming up this year - it will be interesting to see if Venezuela defaults and what the consequences will be.

The Petro coin seems nothing more than a way for Venezuela to continue selling national debt to international investors.

Thank you for your support @hiroya, this platform is a great opportunity for many of us, although in my particular case it may not generate much income because as every principle is difficult, apart from the fact that the key is constancy and perseverance.

our country presents a very high risk in all areas and all this generates uncertainty, which may be due to political interventionism, violence, possible interruption depending on the food supply chain, lack of concrete leadership in our society, lack of state policies that allow legal security in investments, coupled with social and economic insecurity.

hello dear @aggroed, I thank you for making this special forum dedicated to my country venezuela, I think it is important all the impact generated by steemit and cryptocurrencies in the economy of Venezuelans, low incomes and high living costs has led to much of the population to put aside their real educational interests among other issues, seeking to subsist to get incomemainly to feed primarily, as @amanardis said at the time the food is much more expensive than the monthly income of much of the population, It is important to note that I want all these people who have time in steemit to take a bit of our income to support the most needy, a great example of personal success thanks to this network is @michelcamacaro.
many people with great qualities have had to leave behind their interests and skills as they are, musicians, writers, photographers, among others for the situation of the country and steemit has space for us, I think that work to eat, and not even have enough income for it, it is something really degrading for the people of my country.
We already talked about this in the forum but I could not stop mentioning that steemit and the support of communities like @provenezuela @cervantes @reveur, @proapoyo, @ausbitbank @blocktrades pal, and you @aggroed among others have changed the lives of many Venezuelans.
The difference of Venezuelans and other people around the world with respect to steemit is that what for many is a hobby for us is the best way to survive.

hola querido agroed , te agradezco por realizar este foro especial dedicado a mi pais venezuela, pienso que es importante todo el impacto que genera steemit y las criptomonedas en la economia de los venezolanos, los bajos ingresos y altos costos de vida a llevado a gran parte de la poblacion a dejar a un lado sus reales intereses educativos entre otros temas, buscando subsistir para conseguir ingresosprincipalmente para alimentarse primordialmente, como lo dijo @amanardis en su momento los alimentos son mucho mas costosos que el ingreso mensual de gran parte de la poblacion, es importante acotar que yo quiero que todas estas personas que tenemos tiempo en steemit tomemos un poco de nuestros ingresos en apoyar a los mas necesitados, un gran ejemplo de superacion personal gracias a esta red es @michelcamacaro.
muchas personas con grandes cualidades han tenido que dejar atras sus interes y habilidades como lo son, musicos, escritores, fotografos, entro otros por la situacion del pais y steemit tiene espacio para nosotros, me parece que trabajar para comer, y ni si quiera tener los ingresos suficientes para ello, es algo realmente denigrante para las personas de mi pais.
ya hablamos sobre esto en el foro pero no podia dejar de acotar, que steemit y el apoyo de comunidades como @provenezuela @cervantes @reveur, @proapoyo, @ausbitbank @blocktrades pal, entre otros han cambiando la vida de muchos venezolanos.
La diferencia de los venezolanos y otras personas al rededor del mundo con respecto a steemit es que lo que para muchos es un hobby para nosotros es la mejor forma de poder subsistir.

joule1991 (27) · 7 years ago

I think Steemit and similar movements are beneficial not only to Venezuela, but also to any underdeveloped country. However, I strongly disagree @edicted, it wasn't the American government that disrupted Venezuelan economy. The proposed social reforms and a mass of corruption amongst the higher heights of power led to the sudden disappearance of 25 thousand millions of dollars, picture that. Now, the hyperinflation the country suffers is accentuated by bad choices and by the sanctions external powers put on the country rulers. This may be the reason why people say that the crisis is caused by America. Sadly, only people that haven't lived under a socialist regime are able to cry that everything is the misleading efforts of mainstream media. The Petro goes nowhere mainly because the coin isn't decentralized and the government can issue as many coins as it wants without following proper procedures. If you're wondering why Russia gave a prize to Venezuela it is because they are allies, and Russia gets free oil from Venezuela due to some old debts, as does China. So, please, I strongly suggest that people stop this kind of thinking.

Currently being Venezuelan is not easy, I say it as a resident of this country.
In addition to enduring socialism, we must endure going to other countries of our closest relatives.
We must fight hard and without surrendering every day to be able to eat decently. Many of us are dedigado to these means of employment where they pay for doing daily things and so solve with the money of the week that is generated in these pages of mining or virtual currencies, that by changing it helps us to have a better income than the minimum monthly salary of the country.

Excellent, this type of forum about Venezuela should be more frequent and it is good that the friends of The Peace, Abundance, and Liberty put their eyes on the current situation of our country, in Steemit there is a guild of Venezuelan creatives that we bring a lot of quality to the platform of Steemit, hopefully when the SMT begins we can create our own token, although I think that this will be implemented by category and not by country we have to go a little deeper into it.

But this issue of Venezuela is definitely of vital importance for all of America and I propose that this is not the only meeting, but the first of many forums on the country.

Venezuela situation was created to know exactly what will happen when US dollar collapses..

Its sad majority blame the president, when they dont know the real story, some dont even want to listen.
I wonder what will happen to cryptos when that happens. Either they sky rocket to balance out, or all the economies of the world collapse, including dollar. One thing we need to take in account, that cryptos are still not currencies, a currency shoul have its own value, and not compared with other. Till the time mass adoption of crypto doesnt happen, and the prices are still compared with USD, its going to be a great problem when the USD collapses. This is the reason that countries tha are economically better then USA, still have a weaker currency, due to the USD hegemony and its status of world reserve currency. Petro Yuan will dominate dollar soon.

Hello, and good evening, everybody. I welcome this initiative.

Without any doubt, there is an ongoing genocide against women, men and childrens in Venezuela, and we can no longer afford to turn a blind eye to this dreadful situation. These are the procedures of a military dictatorship.

When 4 million people suddenly, in a matter of weeks, disappear from their historic homeland of 208 years, that can only be the result of a planned and well-executed genocide. Nicolás Maduro is, furthermore, carrying out the systematic genocide of the Venezuelan people. Venezuela is an open-air prison, and no food or medicine can go in or out, and the most vulnerable among them depend almost entirely on international humanitarian aid.

However, so long as Nicolás Maduro is in power, the international community. must maintain its operations so that civilians remain protected and the pressure on the regime builds.

Venezuela is in the grip of unprecedented famine. The prolonged "hunger gap" has contributed to a sharp rise in malnutrition. Approximately three million people in Venezuela are facing a serious famine. Food insecurity has risen and the risk of famine is great. In addition, widespread corruption is a serious disincentive to economic growth, in Venezuela, Mafia and corruption still remain a curse.

In Venezuela, a dictatorship controls every aspect of political and social life and these are an estimated 249 political prisoners. We should tell the world what's happening here, because, the Venezuelan question is not simply economic and humanitarian problem, but a legal and political one as well.

While we are ever thankful to the Secretary-General of AOS, Dr. Luis Almagro, for his annual comprehensive report and continue to see it as pivotal to the proper exercise of the General Assembly's responsibilities, we hope this reporting capacity continues to be strengthened.

We will be eternally grateful with the President of the United States, Donald Trump, for the extraordinary efforts that he has made over the time in order to shed full light on events in Venezuela and assess the responsibilities of those who had perpetrated systematic human rights violations. I also express our deep appreciation the United States Congress, and the European parliament for its unreserved support to our country.

¡God bless all and reward your efforts!

happy night, excellent initiative, I am Venezuelan and represents a real challenge to survive in the day to day, it is crazy what the country lives in every way, all services collapsed, for daily food many turn to garbage dumps to see that They can solve for them and the rest of their family, transportation is a total collapse, but you know? venezuela is a beautiful country that we hope will soon be able to leave this nightmare and that the experience is just a bad memory of the past.
I would like you to think about the possibility of doing forums in Spanish, because it is difficult to understand the program if you do not master the language.

Could Steemit be a possible solution to help the Venezuelan population that is going through a very difficult situation? Yes, can it be ... Steemit can mean an economic contribution in the middle of a hyperinflation crisis? Yes, of course, it is possible ... But, in addition, Steemit has a very particular benefit that I want to mention: It allows Venezuelans to show our true face, that of a country with many creative people, proactive and full of positive values .. . And that is priceless... Thanks to all of you who give us a hand. :-)

As I know (I am from Venezuela), we don't get paid $16 a month, not even close. We get paid like: $2 (this is almost 2 millones de bolívares) including some other stuff like the cestaticket, this is something that the government gives you to increase your salary, so we can say that a former employee can earn $1. In fact, an egg carton costs $1,3 something like that (1 millón de bolívares or even more), so imagine a former employee earning $1 to just buy an egg carton...

HOLA @aggroed! muchas gracias por tomarnos en cuenta, es cierto que aquí los sueldos son absurda mente bajos en relación a cualquier otro país! por mas que trabajemos 12 horas diarias o mas no alcanza para cubrir ni los gastos básicos, es horrible como se a incrementado los indigentes pidiendo ayuda en las calles. a aquí en mi casa diariamente pasan mínimo 4 o 5 personas pidiendo comida, ya no piden ni dinero por que saben que no hay efectivo, el sueldo de un mes no alcanza ni para comprar un pollo. todas las empresas e instituciones que están en manos del gobierno no suministran lo que deben como en los hospitales (no hay medicamentos, ni camas, ni para hacer exámenes) , como en pdvsa no suministra gas que se utiliza para cocinar, ni gasolina,etc. Steemit a sido de mucho apoyo para los venezolanos que estamos en esta plataforma (yo todavía estoy nueva en steemit) pero espero pronto poder ganar lo suficiente para mejorar mi situación y ayudar a quien lo necesite.
Lo peor de todo es que todavía hay personas que quieren secundar al régimen.
Un gran abrazo desde Venezuela.

Todo lo que ocurre tiene una razón o una causa, pero siempre es para nuestro propio bienestar, aunque en el momento que ocurra o nos demos cuenta, ya que nos afecta materialmente y esto nos ciega de ver el bienestar espiritual que nos produce y que por lo tanto, lo que ocurre o suceda siempre será lo mejor.

En Venezuela se ha generado un proceso que ha ganado muchos adherentes o simpatizantes, pero que también ha ganado muchos adversarios u opositores.

El caso es que quien es adherente o simpatizante a ese proceso difícilmente cambie de opinión, aunque viva las situaciones mas difíciles, desfavorables o apremiantes. Y si es adversario u opositor difícilmente cambiará de opinión aunque viva las situaciones mas favorables. Es decir nadie cede .

Quienes dirigen al sector de la oposición han demostrado que el poder no les apetece (la presidencia de la república), ya que como opositores han obtenido muchos beneficios tanto del exterior como del mismo gobierno nacional ( aunque parezca insólito).Es decir no desean ganar las presidenciales.

Todos los venezolanos nos encontramos al borde del abismo y a punto de dar un paso adelante este 20 de Mayo de 2018

Estoy de acuerdo, nada como vivir en Venezuela y enfrentar a todo los que se nos presenta, tener cierta cantidad de dinero y no poder comprar algun producto de primera necesidad porque simplemente no lo hay o hay muy poco, y tener que ir diariamente al banco para retirar algo de efectivo que se va en un sólo pasaje de autobus, ufffffff, algo bueno tiene que pasar, hay que tener fe y confianza en Dios; estamos pasando por todo esto para aprender la lección, yo ya aprendí, espero el aprendizaje colectivo, que es el mas difícil, pero no imposible, por eso considero importante estas redes, con ellas colaboramos a despertar consciencias entre nosotros mismos,

Hola, un saludo. La verdad es que steemit a representado para mi familia y mi persona una fuente de ingresos muy por encima del salario mínimo que no llega ni a 3 USD mensuales. Me encuentro muy agradecido por el canal de PAL en Discord. A través de ellos y su sistema de votación mediante @minnowsupport y últimamente con el apoyo de @pharesim ha sido una real ayuda para sobrellevar la crisis que vemos hoy en dia en mi pais producto de las malas politicas de este gobierno.
Mis felicitaciones por su labor y nuevamente gracias.

Steemit representa un toma de aire para todos los venezolanos que interactuamos en esta red.. Soy ingeniero y docente universitario y en muchos casos dejo de dar material de clases para insistir a mis alumnos en el uso de esta red como herramienta paliativa de la crisis que atravesamos, en este sentido solo intento dirigir la atención de mis alumnos hacia este modelo de economía que permite trabajar en modo freelance.

Sin embargo el contacto directo con esta red no es fácil para muchos, a mi me ha costado un poco dar con las curaciones de equipos como cervantes, castellano entre otros, quizás por desconocimiento de los pasos a seguir.. Una alternativa sería tratar de crear una vía directa de apoyo por cada rama o profesión de la vida, bien seas músico o bien si eres investigador o diseñador o en cualquiera otra rama, para dirigir esfuerzos a cada persona por sus servicios o trabajos realizados.

Muchas gracias por realizar estos foros donde queda evidencia de la buena voluntad de ayudar a muchas personas que atravesamos la crisis en venezuela, espero que de estos foros puedan surgir proyectos interesantes para tales fines.

One bright ray of hope for many Venezuelans has been Steem. Some folks have been able to earn a few sbd on a post and sometimes dozens. In a country that pays engineers $16 a month this is an extraordinary gift to the common people.

Thanks for focusing on Venezuela, the situation is really critical and Steemit has become a lifeline for many of us...

Steemit para los venezolanos es más que una red social, es un escape a nivel económico, los sueldos en venezuela son muy bajos aproximadamente 2 a 4$ por mes, una real locura, gracias a steemit muchas familias se ayudan y consiguen tener no solo una red social, no solo un blog, si no tambien una forma de generar ingresos y poder mantenerse en el país, Steemit para mi es el presente y el futuro de las redes sociales , ademas que nos permite interactuar con las criptomonedas, es una maravilla, esperemos siga creciendo y mejorando como va.

Venezuela is a country that has much to offer, its people are the friendliest of Latin America always willing to help the visitor and leave the name of our country at the top, is our law. In recent years we have gone through a myriad of problems in the economic field, which have affected our economy and our pockets.

When they touch on the issue of increasing 50% the salaries of public employees, and how much emotion has caused in many of our naïve compatriots. Taking into account that it is a compulsive increase and it is like for people to cheer up and take away the impetus to the recall, among other things. This increase becomes salt and water before 1 week, that will generate more inflation still, until a financial restoration of the country and a total sanitation of the economy of the country is made, nothing will be fixed and nothing here will improve.

First, it should lead to a one-to-one exchange rate with the dollar, sinterize and dollarize the economy, reactivate the expropriated companies and privatize them again, stop producing inorganic money, cease the subsidies to the Caribbean nations and countries ideologically related to the regime, From here, more than 40% of the national budget escapes in such aid and corruption, eliminate ministries and political patronage. Does it sound impossible? Until that is not done Venezuela will not recover! As Jesus of Nazareth said: heaven and earth will pass but my words will not fail. While not the productive apparatus of goods and services to counterbalance the aggregate volume of circulating in final demand what we will have, with this increase in wages, is a bestial inflation with stagnation of the productive apparatus. the perfect Storm! Oh, as the ignorant vulgar says, "Real that fucks" in the street.

Inorganic money without real purchasing power the same immediate sensation of fullness felt by those who eat a bag of popcorn and another of cotton candy and put a soda. He feels the domed stomach and thinks he was fed. What he did was fill up and not nourish himself. By the way, he will get sick with everything that is so elementary that I'm sorry to explain it to people with greater and better knowledge than me. If I say it, it is because I am very concerned about these increases in these, that not only change the president, but change the Castro model can correct this crisis with the same men and with the same ideas that produced it. "DESPIERTA VENEZUELA"

We find ourselves stuck in an economic crisis that does not give breathing to an immediate solution, this accompanied by the political problems that generate a slowness to possible solutions. The Opposition and the Officialism have been in charge of general chaos in the Venezuelan population, with their inefficiency in not solving the problems that daily drown the common citizen, they have focused on a fight of children where they do not know who is better or worse. the opposition in the parliamentary elections of December 2015, emerged as winners, thanks to the support that the people gave in giving that vote of confidence to this political group, which for years is promising a change, but instead of working for and for the people, they focused on getting revenge on the ruling party, with absurd decisions and thus lost in a direction that according to them, was to bring a change to the country. Added to that the ruling party using its power took advantage and against attack, removing the opposition from the national assembly.

The Venezuelan is already at the limit with this situation, we do not see an immediate exit to this enormous economic problem, day after day, many of the young people choose to leave the country, looking for a better life style for their families, that youth with dreams and goals. That Venezuela is losing because of the lack of manliness of a government that no longer cares about its country and wants to consume what little we have left.

Unfortunately we are under pressure that does not leave us alone, and every day we wonder if this will improve. We see that the road to change is uphill and we have a long way to go and fight.

Faith and hope is what keeps the Venezuelan standing, as always struggling to move our families forward.

In addition to economic problems, lack of food and medicine. We struggle with the constant lack of our public services such as water, which different sectors of Venezuela last up to 3 months without water, or electricity.
This generates great concern in our communities, affecting in the worst way children who are not to blame for all this disaster.

The problem of sewage that affects the poorest neighborhoods of Venezuela, which bring with them a series of diseases that protect the ordinary citizen from leaving their homes until the problem is solved, which usually takes weeks.

I feel so helpless in this situation, to see how every day we lie in the face with false promises, which only aim to win votes. They forget that people who put them in power, who sacrifice so that their families can have a plate of food on their table.

For many of us, there is still that passion for wanting a change, not only expressing it with words but with echos, taking to the streets to fight for our country, working every day more for the welfare of the entire community. @aggroed
