Venezuela is irrelevant to the situation in most of the world, its an outlier. Thats why it is a stupid argument for bitcoin. It would be like preparing for volcanoes in Denmark. Besides they are using USD and foreign banks in Venezuela not crypto currency. The rich in Venezuela haven't lost a cent I am willing to bet. And last but not least: bitcoin doesn't solve a single systemic problem Venezuela has. Its a corrupt failed state that could have been a South American Norway. Technology won't save it.

>Venezuela is irrelevant (..) so are your thoughts about Bitcoin from their (those whose lives were saved because of cryptos) point of view, obviously. >Besides they are using USD A few may. But in such violent place, saving cryptos is cheaper than saving in any (physical) cash. Easier to trade as well, since banking is not THAT accessible and illegal USD trading have its safety's costs. >bitcoin doesn't solve a single systemic problem Venezuela has. all fiat is a systemic problem. According to Austrian School of Economics. Don't get me wrong, I'm not appealing to authority or anything. This is not meant for you. Someone might read our comments, care to actually know what's going on and look further into it.
