You know what we love the most about the decentralized movement? We have no need to trust central authorities, especially authorities that spend their days bossing around and ordering other people what to do, requiring absolute loyalty (that's what Maduro does, in case you haven't noticed, watch him give orders to the audience and get forced applauses, very North-Korea-style).

Maduro claimed a ridiculous number, considering the top-grossing ICOs in history, and considering the track record of Venezuela with economic mismanagement and hyperinflation. It's simply a bad investment, and everybody knows it.

So my very strong suspicion is that Maduro is (a) making those numbers up so that they sound impressive, or (b) ordered a bunch of people and bots to make fake offers, something that's not impossible to do, even with recaptcha. We have no way of knowing (sadly!) because the code isn't open source and nobody can audit it.

Shame.
