The social and political unrest is only increasing and amidst this situation, Venezuela adapts crypto for daily transactions.

The Cato Institute’s Troubled Currencies Project’s Director and Senior Fellow Steve Hanke highlighted the worthless of Bolivar of Venezuela in a video.

 

Hanke has held various government positions as a senior economist and special advisor in the United States, Asia, Europe South America, and the Middle East.

Hanke believes that places where the inadequate monetary policies and political agendas have triggered civil unrest, the crime rate is increased and poverty is widespread; cryptocurrency can support in stabilizing such failing economies.
