Not much munnie in USD terms being issued for their Basic Income Guaranty in that shit hole these days.
Looks like blockchain coins are going to have to come to the rescue in the turd world.
Venezuelans frequently have to wait hours for their daily cash allowances, which can be worth less than a nickel. https://t.co/lNRnVrfGVy

Another oil producer destroyed by the US. Mission Accomplished!
ReplyDeleteI just searched through the first five or six pages of "news" about Venezuela on Google and it exclusively corporate media echoing the same stuff.
ReplyDeleteAmazingly, a rebel military officer named Oscar Perez attacked government building from a helicopter about six months ago in a failed attempt to ignite a revolt. Because it was labeled a terrorist. The police just hunted him down and killed him but not before a couple of police officers were killed. The whole Western corporate media is all in a huff about "tyranny" and "repression."
As elsewhere, one side's terrorists are the other side's heroes.
Let's get some perspective here.
Should read, "Because of it he was labeled a terrorist.
ReplyDeletePerspective: if the blockchains start to take hold none of that BS matters any more ....
ReplyDelete“The whole Western corporate media is all in a huff about "tyranny" and "repression."
ReplyDeleteThose words are right out of the textbook for the libertarianism 101 class...
Perspective: Blockchains ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE more successful than MMT...

Which one is going to win?
Its not even close...
Chavez's brother moved to Houston this week to take over the reigns at Citgo. I think big changes afoot at PDVSA.
ReplyDeleteThere's a difference between blockchain as a distributed ledger and the application of blockchain technology. Cryptocurrencies are applications of blockchain tech.
ReplyDeleteCryptocurrencies fall under government regulation in a variety of ways.
Assuming that they circumvent authority is wishful thinking.
Almost everything one sees on Venezuela and Maduro are in the corporate media echo chamber and are scripted propaganda.
ReplyDeleteA more balanced view has been posted here at MNE in links to Matias Vernengo, Mark Weibrot, and Mark Ames, for instance.
I just did a couple of Internet searches on Venezuela and those names and got a number of hits.
Here is the Guardian then:

Don’t tell me they are in on the conspiracy too?
The Guardian is. They never said anything good about Chevàs even when things were thing right. They did another hatchet job on Putin yesterday about Syria.
