Hey, @WilliamSuberg couple of corrections for your article. 1) I’m not ex-CEO of Dash Core Group, would appreciate correction 2) Yes, eventually Bitcoin and others will be added, but this will be a Dash-exclusive launch. Other currencies to be added later. https://t.co/vDDRT19JEc

It is actually a DASH exclusive launch.

Dash Core CEO on Twitter:
"Dash is the preferred crypto in Venezuela given it instantly settles and transaction fees are low. That is why it’s widely accepted. Beside Bitcoin, the others see limited use in the country, but Cryptobuyer supports them on their platform so they will all eventually be added."

What are your thoughts on Dash compared to BTC? Would you say it's the better currency?

haha good one, I think they should consider more faster options such as NANO, IOTA and other feeless cryptos.

Like steem perhaps ;P

Hey @themarkymark greetings from Venezuela... As you well explained in your article, Venezuelan are struggling to protect their income and savings from the Inclement hyperinflation, and the cryptos is one of the ways that people are doing to protect it, but also an easy way to buy goods through internet that we don’t have in my country and we have to import ( food, clothes, cars parts, medicine, etc). I also see the Steem platform that has a potential opportunity to be used in Venezuela. I know that a Lots of Venezuelan tried to use this platform to try to increase their income or by goods through internet myself included. As a Mechanical Engineer with 13 year of experience in the Refinering Industries I was pushed by the current system to find other ways to meet ends meet.

I'm glad to hear that Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dash, Litecoin will be a focus over there since I have investments in all of those.

As for STEEM why don't we put a proposal up on the DAO that won't get funded to bring awareness?

If someone can come up with a good marketing plan sure, if they require a fee to be listed that's another option as well.

It is clearly an extra-strategy to motivate consumers to eat in their fast food chain.

I live in Venezuela and in the area where I live there are two stores and both are closed, due to the low purchasing power of the Venezuelan.

The premises that are accepted cryptocurrencies are located in the most exclusive areas of Venezuela.

by the way I drew a watercolor 5 days ago motivated to this theme.

Check out the @rutablockchain Steem Merchants project that is already running in Venezuela.

Thanks gigantic corporation for the "food"! Is this not taking advantage of the poor ?

It is actually helping them as their currency is extremely unstable to the point if they buy something tomorrow instead of today they actually get less.

great helping the poor by feeding them rubbish, nice guys at burger king

Thanks for the encouraging news. I visited the cryptobuyer website to try and figure out how they onboard coins, but so far I am unsure, so I will send them a few emails and try my luck. I think it’s a good idea to consider contacting them and the people I know in the Venezuelan communities here on Steem to see if anyone there is following this development and has any ideas about how to Steem to their coin selection. I think because Steem is cheaper and has no transaction fees it might be more useful then more expensive coins.

So cool!

The question is how long will it takes for them to process the transaction before they get their orders? 🤔

They claim Dash is used most and it has an "InstantSend" feature which is as quick as two seconds.
