you know someone's a thoroughly decent human being when they have a cutesy nickname for rape. i guess at least his comment is unpopular

sa definitely never had a word filter in for rape and it absolutely was not something cutesy like "surprise sex", that would be super hosed up.

Special Report: In Venezuela, new cryptocurrency is nowhere to be found

quote:

It turns out that Venezuela�s petro is hard to spot almost anywhere. Over a period of four months, Reuters spoke with a dozen experts on cryptocurrencies and oil-field valuation, traveled to the site of the pledged oil reserves and scoured the coin�s digital transaction records in an effort to learn more.

The hunt turned up little evidence of a thriving petro trade. The coin is not sold on any major cryptocurrency exchange. No shops are known to accept it.

...

Senior government officials have given contradictory statements. Maduro says petro sales have already raised $3.3 billion and that the coin is being used to pay for imports. But Hugbel Roa, a cabinet minister involved in the project, told Reuters on Friday that the technology behind the coin is still in development and that �nobody has been able to make use of the petro ... nor have any resources been received.�

The Superintendence of Cryptoassets, the government agency that oversees the petro, is a mystery. Reuters recently visited the Finance Ministry, where the Superintendence is supposed to be housed, but was informed by a receptionist that it �does not yet have a physical presence here.�

The Superintendence�s website is not functioning. Its president, Joselit Ramirez, did not respond to messages on his personal social media accounts. Phone calls to the Industry Ministry, which oversees the agency, went unanswered.

The Information Ministry did not reply to emails seeking comment.

Maduro added to the confusion this month by announcing that salaries, pensions and the exchange rate for Venezuela�s decimated currency, the bolivar, are now pegged to the petro. That move stirred bewilderment on Venezuela�s streets and among economists and cryptocurrency experts who say the petro-bolivar tether is unworkable.

�There is no way to link prices or exchange rates to a token that doesn�t trade, precisely because there is no way to know what it actually sells for,� said Alejandro Machado, a Venezuelan computer scientist and cryptocurrency consultant who has closely followed the petro.

...

U.S. President Donald Trump in March banned Americans from buying or using the petro.

In contrast to buyers of well-known cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, holders of petros are difficult to find. One gathering place is an online cryptocurrency forum called Bitcointalk, where enthusiasts began posting messages in early 2018.

�As of now yes we got scammed, time will tell if it was a good investment or not,� a forum participant identified as cryptoviagra wrote on June 25.

...

Teacher Rosa Alvarez said that around half of her first-grade class had stopped showing up because they were hungry and the school no longer provides state-sponsored meals.

She says government officials have ignored her complaints. But in May the Education Ministry laid out a new mandate: Teach students about the virtues of Venezuela�s new cryptocurrency.

Standing before a white board earlier this year as her students giggled and chatted, Alvarez said she was stumped.

�How am I going to explain that to them if nobody will tell me what is a petro?� she said. �How do I buy a petro? With what?�

the prefix "crypto-" means "hidden" so the petro may be the purest cryptocurrency there is.
