The use of cryptocurrencies in Venezuela is a lifesaver for many people in the country.
Throughout history, people in certain places have gone through what economists like to call “discovering the benefits of backwardness”. They take techniques that have worked well in the more advanced parts of the world and apply them in less developed regions.
The changes they introduce make these techniques work so well that a region that was once the periphery has become a center in its own right. Fintech and especially the use of cryptocurrencies in Venezuela are becoming increasingly popular.
Fintech and Financial Inclusion
Unlike traditional coins, crypto-currencies like Bitcoin are based on a decentralized electronic ledger known as a blockchain. The book is not controlled by a central bank or the Treasury Department, but by various users around the world who have “nodes” or copies of the entire book on their computers that cannot be hacked or censored.
More than the economic and political crisis, a feeling of mistrust has permeated all levels of Venezuelan society. People are looking for opportunities to work outside the system just to buy goods and services.
Can Crypto save the day?
“People need to be educated,” says Malca. “In the United States and Europe we can sit down and analyze these things. In Venezuela, the average Internet connection is a quarter of a megabyte, or one megabyte at most. People still don’t have access to this kind of information and are afraid to carry anything that is not tangible.
And yet, given the chaos and lack of information, there is evidence that the use of cryptocurrencies in Venezuela is making a difference.
Confidence, safety and credibility
On the one hand, cryptocurrency has allowed some Venezuelans with access to computers, technical knowledge and blockchain technology to receive money from family and friends abroad. On the other hand, according to some experts, the system is still far from being inclusive.
“Sometimes it can be very discriminatory,” says Dr. Sabatini. “The poorest people do not have access to online accounts or to relatives living abroad.
