Kudos to Maduro. He’s got a lot wrong since Chavez died but the U.S. has been intent on destabilizing this country with any and all means, which means he’s been fighting a battle from both social unrest and U.S. covert operations on the ground as well as the usual media propaganda. I really hope Venezuelan comes back from the abyss. This cryptocurrency is a start and hopefully out of the hands of those who would like to see this beautiful country broken.

I agree totally, MK. So many Venezuelans have benefited from improved living conditions I can’t see any way they will agree to return to a right wing government.

Same here, Alan. I see Iran and Russia are also talking about implementing sovereign cryptocurrencies (in response to US sanctions).
