In Venezuela, there are many cryptotraders who are among the most active in the world, alongside the US and Russia, when it comes to peer-to-peer (P2P) trading of dollar-based cryptocurrencies, this claim is made by
Chainalysis New York blockchain analysts. In Cuba, the situation with bitcoin seems to be progressing, on 8/26/2021 the Ministry of Economy published resolution 215/2021 which now recognizes cryptocurrencies and bitcoin
authorizing its use mainly for reasons of socioeconomic interest. With this resolution, Cubans will be able to trade bitcoin because, due to economic embargoes imposed by the United States since 1960, Cuba has always had problems with the use of the US dollar and bitcoin can help move the local economy, one of the problems encountered with this regulation is due to political and economic instability
of the country, which makes it unlikely that its regulation will follow a decentralized model as in El Salvador, but in any case it is a good start.

Basically when your nation is poor enough, crypto suddenly becomes the key to leave that poverty behind and live a good life. Of course when nation as a whole is poor, even if you are rich, you will not be living the rich person's life in other nations because even if you have the money for it, sometimes you can't just find food. So, it is not 100% sure fire way to get out of poverty exactly but certainly a much easier path.

Food here is not a problem anymore, we have full shelves now. The problem now is the price of such goods which has become difficult to adquire for people who continue getting paid in local currency, since now everything is tagged in USD, regardless the shop access crypto or not.

On the other hand, I would personally say that besides the prices, crime and the lack of medical attention are also big problems. Unlike the United States, for example. Hospitals here won't attend us unless we have the cash ready to pay in advance for their services.
If one arrives to an hospital in a critical state, shot, beaten or agonizing the first thing they will do is to say the prices for the necessary attention. If there is no money, they will offer us a sit so one can die comfortably.

I am not saying this because I heard about it, I lost an aunt last year because of the medical situation here.
Perfectly treatable conditions elsewhere have become major problems here.
