Let's be clear: I have so many doubts too, but my doubts concern mostly the technical aspects, the real implementation, not the opposition ridiculous narratives. Venezuelan opposition is mostly a mafia funded by the US, they push people to complain about everything and keep a destructive, often criminal behaviour. They are anti-democratic, often racists, supported coups, sanctions and some would even appreciate a military invasion against their own people. Anyway media propaganda plays a huge role here, and the Petro is obviously concerned by that too. There's decent people that oppose the government too, but they are quite rare and isolated.
I can assure you, my friend, that I'm not paid by Washington nor do I have any ties, direct or indirect, to the US Government. I'm a decent person that opposes the government, I am a Venezuelan who has lived there for 24 years, and I hope we can discuss rationally. You can find me on Twitter by the same handle. Podemos hablar en español.
The technical aspects and the implementation were disastrous. Bad SSL certificates, huge load times, it takes forever to get an email, very weak AML provisions, an ideological and technically weak whitepaper, the problems are endless. Technicians who are this bad have no business making a cryptocurrency.I would love it if the Venezuelan government came up with a true, decentralized, well-executed cryptocurrency that worked for the people. But this is not it. This is just a scam to stay in power, and I mean that as a person who has watched them act for many, many years.
