Today is a great day for all Venezuelans participating in Steem! A new exchange has opened to allow everyone from the country participating in Steem and Byteball to quickly and safely exchange their crypto currency for fiat! This exchange is run by the official Byteball representative from Venezuela, which sort of makes it the official place to exchange your bytes for fiat in Venezuela but soon it will be also accepting other crypto currencies too, including Steem and SBD!!
Aside from Capybaras being one of the cutest animals in the world (believe me, search for capybara videos in youtube, you'll be amazed!) the exchange is set out to offer the most transparent service yet
while also trying to provide the best exchange rate in all of Steem.
The transparency part is very important since this is an official byteball exchange for Venezuelan and many of the other exchange houses currently working on Steem are not that transparent, censor their chats and say they don't take a fee but it was actually discovered that they where taking around 10 to 15% fees when their local bitcoin accounts where found and what did they have to say about it? Well nothing clearly, they banned the official bytes representative from the discord channel, not before of course threatening him saying that he "should be prudent when dealing with these sort of things".
But enough of that! Congrats to my friend @santiagolaw for becoming the Venezuelan representative of Byteballs and doing the correct thing launching his own exchanges with the best rates! Looking forward to trading there!!
