:siren: people living in areas with hyperinflating currencies are flocking to bitcoin in droves!! :smug:


btcsa 19 points 11 hours ago

I just got back from Argentina where I was there for a month traveling. I went with bitcoin to sell to fund my travels. Did not sell any.

I expected tons of people to be wanting bitcoin. It was not like that. Hardly anyone knew what it was, and the ones who did, were not keen to buy from me. Even when I offered it at a discount price, just so that I could get pesos to pay for things on my holiday, they were not interested. I joined facebook groups and chatted to people there who were mostly scammers looking for me to send bitcoin first....no person wanted to meet face to face for cash. I joined Telegram groups and those guys were more interested, but none of the guys I chatted to actually followed through. The best I could get was to have some of them suggest I just go and sell it on a bitcoin ATM. I did go and find an ATM, but was not able to sell bitcoin with it since it was not working properly.

Was a bit of a bummer for me, since I was really hoping to sell some bitcoin there to fund things.


Why has Bitcoin failed to become the #1 currency in Venezuela? (self.Bitcoin)
submitted 6 hours ago by currency_use_case

the competition doesn't get any easier guys. The Bolivar is the easiest currency in the world to beat. Why hasn't Bitcoin or any other currency become #1 in Venezuela?


currency_use_case[S] 0 points 5 hours ago

"local bitcoins has good volume but it is used among the affluent that actually have money"

What if the non-affuent put just 1% of their monthly income into Bitcoin?

"Bolivars are so worthless that monthly wages would barely pay for fees to use bitcoin and people need to eat so they spend immediately."

That's a vicious circle that keeps the Bolivar going. A transition marketing campaign of people switching 1% of their monthly income to Bitcoin is an idea of something to do

"Bolivars are so worthless that monthly wages would barely pay for fees to use bitcoin"

With the amount they are saving in purchasing power, they could afford to pay a few cents USD in fees


castorfromtheva 1 point 5 hours ago

Because most people don't trust anything they don't understand. Which in case of bitcoin is maths in the first place.


BTC-brother2018 1 point 5 hours ago

They need to get the infrastructure in place so employers can start paying their workers in bitcoin.


currency_use_case[S] 2 points 5 hours ago

have to start gradually. Example , start offering paycheques in BTC (employees can elect if they want Bolivars or BTC)


shanita10 1 point 2 hours ago

Who says it hasn't ?


cointastical 1 point 2 hours ago

For a number of people in Venezuela, bitcoin is their #1 currency.

Great question.

Coiners on reddit are saying the sudden drop is caused by a whale manipulating the price to force margin traders to liquidate and you should buy now


Buy into an easily manipulated sham market? Great idea, good defense coin dudes

Top voted reddit comments are all TA nonsense like this:

“Last time it bounced right off the 200 week moving average, which was around $3,200. This time the 200 week moving average is around $5,000, which is also a nice round psychological number. Seems like a nice place to start a position.”

Ah,

it's so funny i can't believe it, once again there is no reason to use a blockchain for their internal exchange and doing so enabled the exploit

their "decentralized sidechain" actually just being ten computers them and their mates run is so funny. Hundreds of millions and countless manhours invested into this poo poo
