Since the news came out that the Venezuelan state was going to take out a cryptocurrency with the main purpose of evading the sanctions of the empire (United States), the possibility that this measure was carried out mainly because despite being an illegal measure was always under discussion. in Venezuela according to the constitution of the state, regardless of that, Maduro's dictatorship always does what it pleases in the country (until now).
The Maduro regime have been very deficient in the management and use of state finances, since even in their controls they do not have a good result, everything is corruption and bureaucracy with inflation rates of the highest in the world and more high in what no previous government had had in its records.
I greatly doubt that Maduro and his team can handle a cryptocurrency if they have been a rope of incompetence, they do not have the wisdom to manage themselves in economy, and apparently their economic policy is to impoverish the Venezuelan people for them to perpetuate themselves in power, eliminate the middle class, universities and everything that is free thinking.
In other words, create a society of slaves, subordinated to a social project called "socialism" where everyone depends completely on the state to survive hard, with a card of the country that is used now to seal their followers and impose their support at any time, especially in elections.
The so-called "Petro", which will allegedly be supported by oil, gas and diamond reserves, to guarantee its "value" seems more false, because if the national currency is the Bolivar Fuerte, which is also supporting in the same way they have devalued it more than 100 times and I lost the account, how someone thinks that a tyrannical regime like this one full of delinquents will be able to have a cryptocurrency and that is legal for the state according to its constitution.
To conclude I think without a doubt that the petro is another Maduro scam like everything he has done in the country.
