In Venezuela the official coin right now is the Bolivar Fuerte i say right now because before Chavez change it called just Bolivar and it was really strong in some moment between 80´s and 90´s the dollar and bolivar cost the same but now 1 dollar is equivalent to 1600 bolivares fuertes.
For that the venezuelan people has to make magic with his salary, we have two or three work and now we have another the bitcoin work in the night went we came to home tired of work all day we rest... yeah working in the web because bitcoin represent an alternative way for make dollar and change for bolivares or better have the enought for go out this trouble country, every 9 0f 10 people that i know is working in these, but is safety? i saw yesterday and economic doing an interview and explain that the cryptocoin might be dangeorus because in the past in other economic situation in the web the hackers found the way to make that a coin completelly dissapear, but also explain that the btc software is the strong that he saw for now because the satochi is a technology well done by his creator.
So for know we are safe and the venezuelan are taken advantage on that for make dollar and sadly leave his country looking for a better future to his families.
So thumb Up for the Bitcoin and Satochi.
