I'm a young British student watching events in your beleaguered country for many years now. For the past two and a half years, I identified as a Marxist and I was credulously promoting pro-Chavista propaganda. I bought into the myth that the Maduro regime is democratically elected, I attended Hands off Venezuela events in solidarity with the Bolivarian Revolution against the 'imperialist' maneuvers of the United States, I read Venezuela Analysis and other left-wing, pro-Maduro sources religiously, I watched and followed Max Blumenthal and his cretinous Bolivarian and anti-Guaido propaganda, I celebrated the defeat of the 'coup' and castigated the entire opposition as being right-wing American puppets.

Having left the Trotskyist cult I was a member of for the past two and a half years, I have made an effort to read more into the criticisms made of the Maduro regime by the opposition. (My criticisms of the regime were always from the left - i.e., for not being socialist enough and expro

With the fate of Venezuela (and perhaps of all Latin America) in the balance, the United States just activated the strategy of maximum pressure against Maduro/Diosdado Regime

The next few months will bring, inevitably, a lot of confusion to International users. So I prepared an small post to explaine in advance how we reached this point : )

The Achilles Heel of Venezuela: Gasoline

Venezuela is a big oil producer, there is no doubt about that. But this abundance of Oil hides a critical problem: Much of their crude oil is classified as "heavy"

I have to clarify, I am not an expert on the subject. But from what we can observe, Venezuelan heavy oil can only be Cracked in only a few Refineries around the World [*]

With local refineries destroyed (after a Decade of mismanagement), Venezuela's Government was forced to resort to oil-for-gasoline swaps to keep the country afloat. India being on

Recently I’ve lived in Colombia for a couple of months and have met some Venezuelans, after seeing pictures and hearing about Venezuela I’ve gotten a desire to visit, and they’ve said they’d take me. When I talk to them they make it sound like Venezuela is as safe as any other country in South America.

What’s your impression? Is it safe to travel there? I’m white btw, that might play a factor.

¡Hola! Y buenas noches, algunas personas en el post : [[ No entiendo nada de nada y tengo miedo de todo ]] me pidieron que relatara mi experiencia y paralelismo con argentina así como fue mi transcurso para llegar hasta aquí.

¶ Antes que nada; esto va a ser algo largo así que, prepara un matesito y que esto será leer una biblia jajaja. ¶ Soy bastante joven me faltan muchas cosas por vivir aún, pero creo poder aconsejar un poco a todos aquellos adultos, jóvenes y menores de edad que estén pasando por una crisis existencial justo ahora. Tranquilos, crisis hay muchas y vendrán más. ¶ Intentaré filtrar por [[ TITULOS ]] el contenido para que sea más fácil para ustedes saltar la información que le parezca irrelevante, de cualquier manera eres bienvenido a leer todo este post.

[[ ¿PORQUE ARGENTINA? ]]

Para responder esto tendremos que regresar algunos años atrás cuando era una estudiante universitaria, tenía 16 años en ese momento, el país tenía ya varios años en crisis y en aquel e

According to the current Venezuelan leader, two Americans, both prior special forces, were involved in an attempted coup. Why are American SF involved in what's being called a 21st Century Bay of Pigs?

Do you think Venezuela failed because of socialism or other reasons? What are these reasons?

Hola. Aquí expatriado desde hace 6 años.

Perdí todo interés en leer noticias sobre Venezuela hace años. Y cada vez que alguien quiere contarme una "nueva cosa" horrible que está pasando, yo respondo: "y se va a poner peor".

Nunca me he sentido orgulloso de haber nacido allá ni nada de esa paja. No uso ropa que diga que soy venezolano tampoco.

¿Qué opinan del país? Yo lo veo que está hundido en el peor de los problemas y difícil que salgan de ese peo.

Pasan los años y no mejora la situación.

Usan dólares pero no pueden guardarlos en banco.

Todo, absolutamente todo es un desastre.

Ustedes... ¿Le tienen fe a Venezuela?

Just updating this week number, looks like this month we will be slightly under 2000 BTC.

UsefulTulips gives a monthly amount but in USD, around 5 USD millions weekly.

This is only measured using LocalBitcoin, there are other exchanges like AIRTM, Uphold, Binance and so on, but no open data as far as I know. Most of the Localbitcoin trades are in Bolivares (BTC to BS and BS to BTC).

Here are more stats https://www.usefultulips.org/combined_VES_Page.html

I recommend reading this website, it is one of the best english websites for Venezuela news (they sometimes touch the crypto and economic situation).

The average income of the Venezuela is 0.72 USD daily (2020 numbers).

I'm Venezuelan living here.

Just updating the Venezuela situation. Usually I post in another subreddit but wanted to post here so it reaches more people too.

Monthly minimum wage is 800,000 Bs. (that includes food bonus) one USD is around 300,000 Bs. So do your math.

The traded amount is measured only using LocalBitcoin (public data), there are other exhanges too. Uphold, Airtm and so on. Also there are places where you can pay directly with Crypto (Traki store being the biggest one, it is like a Sears).

Last week by a serious NGO released a survey (it is called Encovi) they concluded the average income of the Venezuel

I saw a question in this sub about how Venezuela is now importing oil from Iran as a “gotcha” to show how poor Venezuela is since they have such large oil reserves. The top response was that Venezuela imports the refined product because other countries specialize in that, so importing refined oil is not necessary a sign of poverty since they still export a lot of crude. But Venezuela used to refine their own crude, so why did they stop? That’s a key point that wasn’t address and can’t fine that original post so I thought I’d just ask here

Thanks

Nicolas Maduro won the presidential election in Venezuela, but his victory is disputed by the opposition. Not long after, the European Union backed Juan Guaido, head of the opposition-majority in the National Assembly. He then went ahead to call himself the president of Venezuela, yet the Venezuelan Supreme Court claimed Maduro was still the rightful president. It has even went so far that a British court has ruled that Venezuela’s gold reserves [belong](https://www.reuters.com/article/us-venezuela-gold-britain/britain-recognizes-guaido-as-venezuelas-president-in-gold-dispute-judge
