Not sure if any of you are familiar with an online video game called Runescape but Venezuelans have flocked to that game in mass in order to farm video game gold and sell it for real money. They make much more farming gold, up to 10x the amount than they would make working a regular job in their economy.

If there is any opportunity to get easy money, then quite a large number of people show themselves in these actions. Who wants to work physically, If there is an opportunity to come up with something easier.

To me that is not an example of people trying to get easy money, that is an example of people choosing an unorthodox way of making money since their economy is completely destroyed by the economic decisions of their leaders, I have always found incredible how politicians can destroy countries that are so rich and with so many natural resources, how they could crash the economy when they have the largest reserves of oil in the world? An effective politician could even find a way to run a small government just based on the oil profits and tourism.

I think it is still better than hard physical labor out in the sun all day. Grindy video games are very popular even though you just repeat the same task over and over. If there was no onw to buy those vritual items in the first place they wouldn't be farming them.
