Well about your questions... Venezuela is intense and hard to speak in few words about this madness, this youtube channel try to explain in english some about the Venezuela economical rollercoster madness, if you wanna check it. but I advice is crazy and intense so maybe you dont wanna involved in this tense chaotic youtube playlist:

A lot of people doesnt know about use tech around here. we have since many years ago (cause socialism around here) a big forbiden use with the dollar coin so here develops a black market coins and the bolivar our national coin is very very low rate millions % less than the old times, in 80s: 4 simple bolivares was 1 dollar - now a single dollar is this amount: 313.800.900.000.000.000.000,00 bs
so in this scenario the hiperinflaction and the madness without food or medicines is hell on earth and ultraviolence but well me an others use cripto coins for eat, hive and others are most high rate to bolivar... but here is very long long to explain, the goverment obey us to earn only 2.5$ or 3$ to entire payment sallary each month and of course 1 ice creams cost 2.5$ - a pizza cost 10$ - macdonalds more than 20$ -
Me an others have a foundations for help people around here with criptos so, we try so hard to resist and being warriors but is hard to live here. really hard but we try with a smile and trying to focus in eat, Im so lucky i can eat 2 times at day now, 3 years ago i only ate each 2 times at week (one meal) if was a good week, and I have 3 diploms and Im a university professor teacher in the main university here... but well is a chaos reality:
(old photo from april 24 - now the reality is worst cause the dollar rise up here...)
Here use all the criptos, cause we have to improv and survive so maybe the people make task in internet and earn money for some different coin to others that playing a lot of videogames cause here Tibia. WoW or LOL, they sell the armours or stuffs like that and can get money for eat and live in, cause the internal coins of videogames are more highest rate than our bolivar...
Not a lot of people knows about of criptos but the blockchain since 2017 can help us to survive here, cause of that tons of venezuelan people are know in all this blogs or task sites or video platforms that people earn bitcoins, we have in a lot of times to learn to use VPN, and change DNS cause here the internet in some cases is blocked by the goverment, and you can being tortured, murderer or disappear cause a simple tweet... but we learn and adapt to survive. and of course we use 4 or 5 virtual exchange sites that gives our bolivares in our banks accounts for buy food and medicines and stuffs like that... sadly for people like me, tech stuffs are very very expensive, I work with 2006 laptop and very old equipment but is better that stuffs than nothing, but we can use that cripto for savings and for spend in some stuffs that we needs, the goverment control us the money in the banks accounts so we cannot use all the money (our money) that we want, they put some absurd limits and low amounts so, a lot of people buy dollars in the streets and create a big big black market and now is too common watch dollars in the streets for buy stuffs... is very freak this country lol
blessings and thanks a lot again for your interest
Goodness thank you for taking the time to explain all that!
Interesting that video games are a key way for people to earn money they can exchange for bolivars!
