Venezuela is economically closed, we cant receive money from other countries or send from our bank accounts, same thing with our credit/debit cards they dont work internationally.
We cant purchase dollars from the government, we can only get them on the black market.
We use bitcoin to put our money as our currency is really volatile, for example last month 1USD was 22000VEF now 1USD is 81000VEF. So our currency is worth almost 4 times less.
If i had $10 back then in our currency i now would have $2.5.
We cant use things like paypal and the like as they often freeze our accounts, and they only allow us to use USA bank accounts to withdraw which of course we couldny have unless we went to the US. So if they froze our funds we wouldnt be able to get then ever again.
So those who can put all that they have in bitcoin, not many csn though as minimum monthly wage is about $5 now, that is $5 a month. But me for example i am a freelance web developer and i work online for american clients, so i can actually sustain my family and we dont go through hunger.
There are quite a lot of friends mining, they sold their cars and other things and bought video cards over a year ago. However if you are caught doing it you go to jail under money laundering laws.
Crime rate is huge, if bad people found out you have dollars in your phone they would kill you to get them, also merchants would probably go to jail to for selling in btc/usd or theyd get jailed under bullshit money laundering laws. So it is not being used that way. Maybe behind closed doors to buy cars or houses.
Else it is just storing bitcoin, selling at local bitcoins as needed for food and other things...
