Which area in Venezuela do you live? I'm definitely curious about how life is there currently. Anything improving? Do you see more Bitcoin use there? Check again you hit your goal for the day

I live in tachira near the border with colombia.
Venezuela has improved a little bit in comparation with 2016 when every food were really scarce. Now we do have food everywhere but expensive, actually i buy my monthly food in colombia because there is cheaper ( but not vegie or fruits)
And the problem is that the minimun monthly wage in venezuela is still like 6$ and wit that obviously you cant buy anything, so peoplo do all kind of extra stuff to get a second earning...
And we still have public services problems... we have electricity cuts everydays for 2 or more hours.
We have waters cuts really often.
Hospitals are really bad....
Wow, I watched a documentary on Venezuela recently too and they said monthly salary for government workers was $30. That's amazing the mispricing of human labor. Hopefully Bitcoin Fixes Thos
Going send him another $20 so he can say he made as much as a gov employee this month. Yea that is a terrible mispricing of labor by corrupt government
How much did you #zap him? I'll match!
This is incredible
Thanks you really really much
Im gratefull with all my hearth
I'm glad to have helped. I like finding an unsuspecting person and changing their day for the better. It's still hard to believe the amount we spend on lunch, can help someone so much. Crossing borders Lightning fast with Bitcoin. I'm very hopeful for the future and I'm glad you're here, and able to benifit by being a smart pioneer 🤝
Thats now outdated :( right now is like 7 or 8$ per month :/
7 or 8 per month, for a government worker!? 🤯
I don’t see how that is possible!? You would have to work on the side
Bribes and corruption 😔
Yup. The whole system is pushed into the informal economy
In my street photography im doing a serie about the informal economy in my city
Look forward to seeing this
I will start to post what i have so far tomorrow,
I really think that is not comon to see these kind of things outside latam
For example this guy selling pinaples in a street with traffic
Literally that, they earn more money with bribes and corruptiom
Absolutely atrocious!
Im glad it has at least gotten a little better but seems very rough still. Has Bitcoin played any role in improving any lives that you know of in Venezuela? Sent you some more sats for groceries.
Here has been happening really lot bitcoin adoption, many people jumped into btc as way to scape inflation and also because is really easy to trsnsfer money that way!
Still, most of t shops that acceptd btc trade the btc for usdt inmediatly to lock their money stable.
And here is still a grow in the demand of btc and usdt , specially right now with all the "rumors" of a bull runn incoming really soon
haha when will people realise that the dollar is not stable?
Man thanks you really really much!! For all the sats!! Tomorrow i will go and buy vegies and fruits for a week, i will post the photos here!! I can buy a lot , thats the only thing cheap here
You are welcome. I am happy you have access to some healthy foods for good price. God bless
