There are good reasons for wanting to mine. The official currency is extremely devalued and essentially not trusted. Everyone wants us dollars, and bitcoin is better as well. And remember it's not just a matter of having money. Everything is rationed harshly, so you can't just go into a grocery store and fill up your cart everyday, even if you happen to have money which most people do not. The irony is that oil is effectively free. No food but plenty of oil. Most of the problems are the result of government leadership making bad decisions over a long period. If you're traveling down there for business ask what you can bring to donate. If you fill up all extra space in your luggage from the US it can be a godsend to bring diapers, and other stuff that is hard to get but desperately needed.
