Venezuela performs next Petro-Airdop

Nicolás Maduro says he plans to give away a 0.5 Petros (five times the minimum wage) to all eligible citizens in Venezuela, the register in the case of the Petro-App. Thus, the adaptation of the country’s own crypto-currency should be promoted.

The Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro announced yesterday in a national TV show that his government is ready to pay all the pensioners, pensioners, pensioners, workers in the public service, military personnel and other legitimate citizens of the country a unique power of 0.5 Petro (about 30 US-dollars or five times the minimum monthly wage). The Use comes with a condition: The recipients must first download an account of the newly released Petro App in the country and register, before you can get your Petros next week.

The Petro-App is the official Petro-Wallet of the Nation, which enables the Venezuelern to buy Petros for Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin exchange. It is the only currently available Petro-Wallet, so that every transaction must be transacted in a digital currency on the platform. President Maduro has tried in the past year, to distribute a similar charity in Petros. At that time, the government granted the Token on a platform for the management of the social benefits for Venezuelan: the “Patria”-System.

By the patriot system, the Venezuelans are able to capture relevant socio-economic information, so that the state can control its public policy. In return, the state transfers a series of seemingly randomly announced “bonuses” in a virtual wallet, which can be managed via the Portal. To be able to exchange these credits against Fiat on a Bank account that is associated with your Patria-account. The “Bonus” in the Petro-the same logic is followed: A Person received the airdrop and could trade him then, against his Bolivar Equivalent, that was paid directly to a Bank account.

The process, however, has been criticized because of its complexity is widely used, especially by the older people of the country, the expected benefits to you in the traditional money. The political Opposition to Maduro attacked the move and questioned the legality of granting of the state services in the crypto-currency in question. This new System with the Petro-App aims to simplify the process, by the Bank of mediation is abolished. And if the System is successful, it could.an important step in the conditioning of the Venezuelan Public for the use of a crypto-Wallet mark, which allows the free exchange of tokens

But this measure has also created mixed reactions, ranging from optimism to harsh criticism from the people they should help. And in view of the technical problems of the past and the previous response to the Petro-App, the government of Maduro has a difficult road ahead before it can be made to be expected to create a country in which millions of transactions in a national crypto-currency.
