First day of Petro sales in Venezuela... swarms of nobody descends upon new store

Sunacrip began the sale of Petro by box office
October 29 2018, 2:18 pm


Under the face-to-face modality, that is to say by ticket office and also via electronic means, the National Superintendence of Cryptoactives (Sunacrip), began on Monday the sale of the petro, the first Venezuelan cryptocurrency backed by oil and mining wealth of the country, reports AVN .

At the Sunacrip headquarters, on Urdaneta Avenue - next to the Banco del Tesoro -, a team of young professionals was deployed on the first day to receive cash in any convertible currency, as well as to help them carry out the process via digital.

"The economic future of the world is in the cryptoactive, and today Venezuela enters that future," Joselit Ramírez, Superintendent of Cryptoactives, told the Venezuelan News Agency (AVN), during the beginning of the day.

On the natural resistances that the novelty always creates in people, the head of the Sunacrip explained that for this "has been established and created a kind of ecosystem composed of companies and public and private institutions, airlines and travel agencies, hotels, restaurants and many other sectors where the use of cryptoactives will be common ".

In this sense Joselit Ramírez expanded that the daily use of the modality in transactions "will be imposed by itself and will be your best promotion".

On the start of the activities before the scheduled time, which was originally scheduled for November 5, Ramírez said that it owed to the fluidity with which events developed and the support and encouragement of President Nicolás Maduro.

For next November 5, date that had initially been scheduled for the entry into force of the petroleum, Joselit Ramírez said that on that day the Savings Plan will be started in Petros and the attention to various procedures, such as registration, of the mining sector.

On the benefits that in the expansion of the economic and commercial operations that the cryptocurrency will bring and its contribution to the combat of the economic war, Rodríguez said: "Without doubt the contribution will be considerable. There is no doubt about that," he said.

These hapless buskers are shameless. A mythical cryptoactive currency that nobody can buy anywhere except at a Chavista storefront in Caracas in an effort to shore up an economy ruined by the same people who have made their national currency worthless. And NOBODY can redeem the damn things for any purpose. Most Venezuelans are spending their BsS as fast as they get them due to 1,000,000%+ hyperinflation.

No, Nicolas Maduro Moros, tell us about the Petro's white paper? The blockchain? Timestamping? Mining? Wallets? Fungibility?

Anonymity?

Non-existent. Its a fraud and everyone knows it. I doubt they have a single legitimate sale... though Maduro insists he has already sold over $5 in ONE DAY when it was first offered to non-Venezuelan investors.

FWIW, Putin has deemed the Petro forbidden to be sold/purchased to Russians for the time being. Despite the fact that the Russians are the ones who developed this scheme! I wonder what Putin knows???

This:

"FWIW, Putin has deemed the Petro forbidden to be sold/purchased to Russians for the time being. Despite the fact that the Russians are the ones who developed this scheme! I wonder what Putin knows???"

He knows it's a good way to launder money and it's a good way to continue his takeover of the Americas is my guess, right?

If we had a functioning government we would be helping Venezuela with all our might.
As it is, I'm fearful we will become Venezuela.
