Sadly, they have nothing to lose at this point.

The Bolivar has nothing more to lose. The people who are clinging to life despite their economic hell still have everything to lose.

It’s a great step taken by the Venezuelans. The merits of using bitcoin a lot. Anyone can buy anything using bitcoin at any time without paying extra fees. Thumbs up to the Venezuelans for taking this step.

Lol what? The article says the government is actively trying to shut down exchanges because access to crypto apparently threatens their control over the economy. They're obviously grasping at straws because we all know that ship has sailed. VPNs still work though, so that's great I guess.
