Venezuela’s Bitcoin Mirage

Ah, the elusive cryptocurrency cache of Venezuela-rumored to be worth $60 billion, yet as tangible as a daydream in a teapot. 🤯 The whispers of state-controlled Bitcoin are, alas, more suited to a parlour game than a ledger. As a born-and-bred Caraqueño who once wrestled with mining rigs in the heat of the Bolivarian sun, I must confess: the regime’s secret stash is less treasure trove and more fairy tale. Why? Let us unravel this yarn with the flair of a Victorian gossip columnist.
