Haha ¡believe me! I've had the desire before and I tried, but not avail.

What is the average salary currently in Venezuela?

Well, until this last friday 26 the basic monthly salary was 18,000 VES ~ $3.46. However, recently in an attempt to battle hyperinflation and on the occasion of Worker's Day this next first of May. Maduro doubled the minimum wage ordered by decree this same day.

So, the minimum wage and basic salary went from 18,000 bolivars ($3.46 at the official exchange rate) to 40,000 bolivars ($7.69) aprox now.

It seems only farmers can support themselves and their families with things they grow because money will not be enough to live on.

Yeah, pretty much your hunch is right. However, farmers and those Venezuelans who can count with land and the necessary resources to grow their own food are a very small percentage of the entire population.

Thanks for explanation! I'm glad Steem and other crypto platforms exist so that Venezuelans can be helped at least in part.

Uhm yeah, Venezuelans can be helped a lil bit through Steem & crypto currencies at least in part... in a very tiny part ...in the measure that this unbridled and wild hyperinflation still continues lashing us. };)
