Honestly, there's many places in Venezuela where you can pay with crypto, including dash, btc, bch, and even steem because there's actually a huge community of steemers here. It's always interesting to understand the functioning of crypto a lil better. People here and around the world are going crazy talking shit about Venezuela's Petro, since it's backed by oil, gold, diamonds and gas. It looks like a ghost coin to me, and I can't seem to understand it very well. But if there's other functional cryptos backed by these kind of things, I don't understand why it wouldn't work.
Except nothing works here. Which is why crypto is so important for countries like these, where our fiat is not valuable at all. AT ALL.
This is spot on and cores on what I intended to address in this piece. While fiat is specific to certain countries, gold is associated with value across the globe. If a Stellar fork provides a means to transact and spend gold, then it can easily attract an early market from countries with weak fiat.
Of course, KAU can be used anywhere, but it has a ready market.
