Perfect, with Venezuela in mind, here is a more concrete recommendation considering its economic, social and technological context:
1. Stablecoins (like USDT or USDC) – The most practical
Reason: In a country with hyperinflation like Venezuela, people need to preserve the value of their money. Stablecoins pegged to the dollar (like Tether – USDT or USD Coin – USDC) allow for this without having to use cash or traditional banks.
Ideal uses:
Payment of salaries.
Digital commerce (freelancers, online stores).
Remittances from abroad.
Savings without the risk of immediate devaluation.
2. Bitcoin (BTC) – Long-term store of value
Advantage: It is a “digital gold.” In Venezuela, where the bolívar devalues quickly, Bitcoin is useful as a long-term store of value.
Disadvantage: It is not practical for small transactions due to its fees and slowness.
3. Ethereum and its ecosystem (ETH, DAI) – Infrastructure for projects
DAI is a decentralized stablecoin (more resistant to censorship than USDT).
Ethereum can be used to:
Create decentralized applications (DeFi, education, digital identity).
Manage contracts (for example, labor agreements, automatic payments).
Venezuela has an active community of developers and can leverage Ethereum to foster innovation.
4. Stellar (XLM) or Celo (CELO) – Financial inclusion
Designed for developing countries and to facilitate transfers with low fees.
Celo allows payments with a phone number, ideal for areas with little access to banking.
My proposal for Venezuela:
Short term: Promote the use of USDT/USDC/DAI for remittances, savings, and payments.
Medium term: Support the local development of apps on Ethereum or Celo for public and financial services.
Long term: Encourage the adoption of Bitcoin as a store of value, especially among entrepreneurs and freelancers.
