RE: Steem Impact Forum- Venezuela

in #steem6 years ago

I think Steemit and similar movements are beneficial not only to Venezuela, but also to any underdeveloped country. However, I strongly disagree @edicted, it wasn't the American government that disrupted Venezuelan economy. The proposed social reforms and a mass of corruption amongst the higher heights of power led to the sudden disappearance of 25 thousand millions of dollars, picture that. Now, the hyperinflation the country suffers is accentuated by bad choices and by the sanctions external powers put on the country rulers. This may be the reason why people say that the crisis is caused by America. Sadly, only people that haven't lived under a socialist regime are able to cry that everything is the misleading efforts of mainstream media. The Petro goes nowhere mainly because the coin isn't decentralized and the government can issue as many coins as it wants without following proper procedures. If you're wondering why Russia gave a prize to Venezuela it is because they are allies, and Russia gets free oil from Venezuela due to some old debts, as does China. So, please, I strongly suggest that people stop this kind of thinking.
