Correct, bitcoin is a lifeline to an economy that has devalued its currency by 700% in two years, education about crypto is vital and necessary to prevent more families from being destroyed by extreme poverty. Another aspect that I forgot to mention and I just remembered is that in Venezuela for many it has been a paradise for mining, the cost of electricity is practically zero (that is why it does not work), but people have looked for alternative solutions to obtain electricity, many people have returned, and apparently live "quietly" thanks to bitcoin.
I remember reading about the big bitcoin mining operations in Venezuela a few years ago. That happens everywhere that energy is heavily subsidized.

Price ceilings create shortages. Bitcoin miners were just one of the more convenient groups to scapegoat for the inevitable result of bad policy.

Plus it is pretty easy to move bitcoin and make it disappear. I thought with their unlimited energy, there wouldnt be a ceiling?
I heard buying gasoline is a chore, and super expensive.
