Absolutely, go r/vzla so you can find everyone making fun of bitcoin usage in venezuela :), bitcoin is actually a meme there for this sole reason, people outside think bitcoin is used, when is not.
As for OP, had no other options to call me a "maduro bot", when Im clearly stating that localbitcoins is exactly the place where all the maduro corrupt officials clean their drug/stolen money. haha.
Let me remind you that, the venezuelan corrupt goverment LOVES crypto, because it allows them to clean their stolen money. Thats why they are even mining it themselves [1] with free power and stolen bitcoin mining machines [2]
And to finish, you can literally find the westerunion guidelines on how to send money to venezuela [3] where it clearly states that you can receive remittances in any office of "zoom cambios" in venezuelan territory.
> So, bitcoin doesn't really benefits Venezuelans, the only thing that benefits venezuelans is the localbitcoins escrow service, but this is not because its cripto or because its bitcoin, it's just because noone else offers an escrow service to sucessfully exchange currency, that's pretty much it.
This is the argument. I dont need to address anything. BTW, not that it matters but I dont hold bitcoins , I am not a trader and I dont have any association with localbitcoins, I even agreed with the points presented in the article (check my post history) now check OP's.
I don’t claim OP is a bot but you advise would not work if he/she is. The problem with bots is you cannot refute all the nonsense they generate. They are not interested in arguing with you, their job is to generate as much contradictory claims as possible so everybody reading the thread will be lost and confused. I’ve been watching this behavior in Russia for quite some time.
