Venezuela expands its cryptocurrency portfolio

-


The Venezuelan government has carried out a massive advertisement campaign nationally and internationally, to promote its crypto asset called “Petro”, which has taken center stage, since it is used and anchored to the local currency and accounting unit in the finances of the South American nation.

Not only is the referred token commercialized in the country, which is backed by the huge oil reserves, but also digital entrepreneurs have decided to develop new cryptocurrencies that allow Venezuelans to protect their money in the face of a serious economic crisis that could not be controlled by the administration of President Nicolás Maduro.

In this sense, the head of the Venezuelan Association of Cryptocurrency (Asonacrip), José Álvarez, has stated in different media “there is a modest number of successful developments beyond the petro in Venezuela.”

It should be noted that in addition to bitcoin, dash and the bolivar, Venezuelans have other alternatives at their disposal, and some of them already work, with cases of their use in real life.
Here is a list of private cryptocurrencies that will give people something to talk about in 2019:

Bolivarcoin: It is a Venezuelan virtual currency created by Satoshisimon Bolivarmoto. It was born in 2015 and is based on the Bitcoin culture, aimed at maintaining anonymity, speed of transactions and financial freedom. The philosophy of Bolivarcoin is to follow the ideals established by other altcoins and adapt them and make it more user-friendly by creating a campaign on social networks to inform about its benefits and uses.

ArepaCoin: According to its developers, this cryptocurrency has as its main objective the recognition of Venezuelan bread: the arepa. Arepacoin is algorithm (SCRYPT), hybrid, PoW / PoS / PoS is 3% per year offering a currency of low inflation and organic growth.

OnixCoin: “It’s a digital currency focused on privacy, with instant transactions and an open source. It allows you to keep your finances private, similar to cash,” it says on their website. This crypto that “anyone can extract or buy” currently costs 0.002914 USD. It has a market capitalization of $ 312,048 and is ranked 957 on the Coinmarketcap platform.

PerlaCoin: Although there is not much information about the development of this cryptocurrency, on twitter we could find that it is a project that was established in Margarita Island and it is a token for tourism in Venezuela. “We want to use the advantages of blockchain technology and the legalization of crypto-assets to boost tourism and associated trade, mainly in Nueva Esparta and the Insular Territory of Miranda.”

Undoubtedly, all these cryptocurrencies can be used as a method for inflation protection, since several of them offer very low commissions when compared to bitcoin and people can have access to buying and selling in local currency.

In addition, the Venezuelan crypto can be used for sending and receiving remittances, buying and selling goods and services, covering a wide spectrum both nationally and internationally.

The code base is increasing and improving every day as computer science graduates from top schools jump on board. By Aaron Brown A sort of “cryptobrawl” broke out last month at the Milken Institute Global Conference between economist Nouriel Roubini and panel participants more optimistic about the future of cryptocurrency technologies. I had the opportunity to participate in a partial rematch at Battle of the Quants, where Roubini was just as negative and DMS Governance's John D’Agostino presented a moderate defense. All of the heat concerns the border of crypto and traditional finance, but much of the important stuff is happening far from the border. For example, one of Roubini's claims is that advances in financial technology by existing financial institutions and startups are delivering on many of the promises of crypto-enthusiasts, and these will continue to transform financial markets. That’s true. However, many of those advances were spurred by the threat of

The numbers: Small businesses turned more optimistic about sales and profits in the first month of 2020, but they are still struggling to find qualified workers, according to a closely followed survey. The National Federation of Independent Business said its index of small-business optimism rebounded from a small dip in at the end of last year, rising to 104.3 points in January from 102.7 in December. Business owners were more confident that sales would continue to rise and help support higher profits, the NFIB said. What happened: The net percent of owners who expect higher inflation-adjusted sales in the months ahead rose by 7 points to 23%. By and large, business owners were nonplussed by the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump. A gauge that measures uncertainty was basically unchanged. The biggest worry of small businesses continues to be a shortage of skilled employees available for hire. A quarter of owners say it’s their No. 1 problem — more than taxes or re
