Not only in aid.venezuela. Most of the projects there that use steem, promote the blockchain and also some stores accept steem for payment method. I have talked about steem in so many sites and some projects too, but the really problem is that in venezuela you don't gonna find a really investor because economy there. And the blockchain need investors. The most that we can do is post + receive rewards= power up.
If I have the possibility some day of get much money, surely I change all my local currency into steem and try to become almost a dolphin.

Wow that’s cool that some of the stores there accept it for payment! I didn’t know that. Please post about that in the future, I was wondering how you were converting it into food (:

We have exchanges like Orinoco.io
There we make the changes to VES and use the steem to buy all we want.

Ok very interesting... And then from that exchange you can withdraw VES to a bank account? Is that how that part works?

Yes . You open orinoco.io, set up a bank account and you receive the amount in VES in your bank account.

Well yeah, but if you think about it, people from Venezuela have been relying on Steem for a long time. I'm all for helping people in need but this blockchain needs people to also give back when they take from it, similar to when you sell Steem there is someone else on the other end buying it. Unfortunately it seems that no matter how much rewards people are making from Steem they aren't helping in spreading the word about our blockchain or helping others get to where they are today as well. I keep constantly hearing about other cryptos on other platforms that are helping Venezuela but considering the amount they make here and how little noise they make outside the platform it is not a lot.
Hoping things will change, I know it may be a controversial subject in that country and that many would prefer to keep it a secret since it may get them in trouble with the law or something that they are using crypto.
In my opinion, when people find out this blockchain is helping so many people not die of starvation, that will be one of the best promotions possible. The leader @zaxan is also walking around with shirts with their logo on it which also has the Steem logo on it and surely he is explaining that the assistance is all due to Steem. They are also stacking SP gradually to be able to sell votes to smartsteem so they aren’t just selling everything per se. but I see what you mean (:

Well it's been doing that for close to 3 years already. :P Yet only thing I hear outside of Steem is about how Nano and Dash donations are helping the people there, similar to how Coinbase made a lot of fuss about their donations when in reality Steem has been rewarding those users 10x-100x more monthly for years. Good to hear about the promotions, although I would recommend selling votes through projects that don't enrich the owners.
Yeah when I said people I mean lots of people who aren’t on Steem already (: I’m curious which platform would be better for them to sell their votes? It was my understanding smartsteem was about as profitable as it gets for the end user. And yes Dash does have a huge presence down there too but it has also been around much longer and has funded some of that progress thru their treasury model which Steem could use also. And for what it’s worth I have never heard of Nano being used for pretty much anything ever lol... Except getting hacked off that one big exchange back when it was raiblocks.

@acidyo personally I want to get rewards by delegating the project sp to your project, but actually we only have delegated sp and only can sell votes. In the future I will be happy to have more vest sp and not only delegated sp. Hope we can get soon and grown the project for it. <3
