There is just so much wrong with this story.  On the human side, the country is investing in a 7-star hotel while its citizens are eating dogs and rats to stay alive.  Considering only around 150 7-star hotels exist world-wide, the investment must have been huge.  I suspect this project was funded more for personal payoff than for the economic return.  Sickening.

On the crypto side, El Petro goes against EVERYTHING we as a crypto community stands for.  I'd like to ask someone who supports it one question... what separates El Petro from any other fiat currency?  Before you answer, consider there are roughly seven digital dollars for every printed dollar.
