A few days ago, the Venezuelan government announced a plan to save the country's economy, which is getting more and more battered with each passing day. This plan, as announced, will have as its pillar the complete digitalization of the country's economy, which directly refers to the use of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.
In reality, this is something that has been sought for a long time, but as in many countries, it has been a process that has been accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic. Beyond analyzing the intentions behind this announcement issued by a government whose record is well known, I would like to highlight this new opportunity that is presented to Venezuelans.
Indeed, although I do not trust this government, I have no doubt that this approach is of interest to all of us who are certain that the future of the world economy, sooner or later, will end up admitting more globally the use of cryptocurrencies. In this way, we are only anticipating the times.
In Venezuela we have the infrastructure for the development of all this, unfortunately this is not the case with the government. However, I think we should take advantage of what we already have.
Suffice it as an example, the wonderful deployment of the Dash team and other projects in our lands. So also the work being done by the startup Criptobuyer, which with its innovative points of sale are making easier the use of cryptocurrencies not only by individuals but also by institutions, especially in the commercial sector.
In the same way, we should mention all of us who already receive crypto income, either through direct work on a Hive-style page, for example, or as a form of payment.
Now it is up to all of us who are interested in the national economic proposal for the digitalization of the economy to contribute our grain of sand so that there is greater knowledge of these new technologies, since knowledge will gradually lead to greater adoption.
