Venezuela reportedly wants its central bank to hold bitcoin

The bank is likewise considering proposals to count cryptocurrencies toward international reserves that have plummeted in recent years.

It’s not certain where Petroleos got the bitcoin and ethereum, let alone how much it has. There’s also no guarantee that companies would accept such a move when crypto’s relative anonymity and the potential for money laundering leads many other banks to hold off. That’s not even including the potential for further trade restrictions. This is a Hail Mary effort to sustain Venezuela’s economy (and thus the Maduro government), and it may ultimately amount to a risky experiment even if it goes ahead.

Just moved everything to cold storage

Feels good. Had over a coin on block fi and Gemini custody. Just couldn’t shake the feeling of it disappearing due to some unknown including a government confiscation. Considering we are probably in attack phase before acceptance best to hide in the shadows. I will say though moving off block fi was incredibly easily. Didn’t think it would be. And I will say I don’t think I could live with my self losing btc especially as the price goes up. I know my self and I can regret stuff hard core for a long time. submitted by /u/Aggravating_Shoe169 [link] [comments] from Bitcoin - The Currency of the Internet https://ift.tt/39pTQo1

I officially closed the deal on my new house today after months of negotiations. Bought 100% with Bitcoin!

I Can’t say it wasn’t a long tough road to get to this point, talking with the owner for weeks, months, and even doing a lease buy for months ahead of this with a contract written out for traditional financing of the house. But after major convincing and explanation of cryptocurrency in general to the previous owner, Who wasn’t super familiar with how it works. We came to a conclusion that buying the property in BTC would benefit both of parties. I am ecstatic! This is what it’s all about.
