After the blockchain-based Crypto Petro Dollar, the Venezuelan government probably has a new idea to get foreign currency into the country. It wants to set up and build up a central bank for cryptocurrencies. Another crazy idea or does the idea have potential?

this article on CCN.
Is it any different to the group (whatever the group name is called, I don't know) that is currently controlling the Petro at the moment?
According the the article, it just seems like that this central bank is simply going to be another version of the organization currently managing the country's national cryptocurrency, as the proposed central bank's main focus is obviously to try to market and regulate Petro.
This really has no "potential" to speak of. It's not a decentralized cryptocurrency, nor is it global, nor is it supported by any other government around the world. I honestly don't see anything remotely intriguing here, other than the fact that it's designed to help the Venezuelan government bypass sanctions and promote capital inflow.
