Cryptocurrency Driving Force Behind A New Digital Currency In Venezuela
27 year old Gabriel Jimenez is the founder of The Social Us, a digital innovation startup that is helping Venezuela “overcome the financial blockade” of Donald Trump’s government. The Trump administration has introduced financial sanctions that prevent the Venezuelan government from issuing any new debt.
“Petro” is the cryptocurrency that president Nicolas Maduro is hoping can save the country’s economy from hyper-inflation. Maduro appeared on TV last month with Jimenez and Russian businessmen to sign a contract opening petro to international buyers.
