The following paragraph is wrong, in that it is misleading and correlates things that have not happened at the same time. > The case also underscores the fast-growing appetite for cryptocurrencies in Brazil, where years of economic and political crises have made digital currencies an attractive shield against depreciation of the Brazilian real and double-digit inflation.
