Are you from Venezuela @verita1? You seem to at least know well the country.

Thank you Poker Player for giving me 1 Merit. I wanted to make a quote to The Pharmacist and I couldn't.

I must also thank you for the interest in creating a thread about my country.
In relation to the Venezuelan minimum wage, each year on May 1st it is customary to hear about an increase.
I can only tell you that among families we collaborate to cover the expenses of those who need the most.

A look at how the Venezuelan approaches dollarization can be checked here:

Another thing @The Pharmacist was asking was whether there has been an adoption of cryptos in Venezuela. I remember seeing news that said yes, but I would like to hear about your experience. Also, I guess what you earn from the signature campaign will help quite a bit. I have checked the campaign spreadsheet and I see that you will be earning about $20-25 per week, which is not much but I imagine that in Venezuela it is a blessing.

The videos you have seen about the adoption of cryptocurrencies in Venezuela is true. But it is only happening in the main cities of the country and in some commercial businesses.

We have important leaders who are working to grow the crypto community in Venezuela. As an example:

Mariangel
Community manager for Latin America at Binance.

Ernesto Contreras
Head of business development Dashpay for Latin America

To know firsthand how our community grows in Venezuela and Latin America Binance Español is the best place to observe.

Another proof is this job offer by Binance in search of Community Manager for Venezuela.

With my income from the Signature campaign I am testing to see if it is possible to save for my 12 and 13 year old nephews. 😊
