For the first time, Maria Corina Machado, the Venezuelan opposition leader, spoke about Bitcoin (BTC), an asset that she said she sees as part of a national strategic reserve in which “we also seek to include gold.”
Machado held a conversation with human rights defender Alex Gladstein with whom he exposed the disastrous economic situation in Venezuela with a relentless hyperinflation that has affected the lives of millions of Venezuelans.
Both agreed that the economic crisis is the result of the erroneous policy applied by the government of the current ruler Nicolás Maduro, who “shamelessly stole these elections,” as Machado pointed out.
Machado stressed that despite the country’s abundant oil reserves, the economy has collapsed with hyperinflation and the devaluation of the bolivar, its national currency. Since 2016, inflation has exceeded 8,000%. “Salaries have been destroyed,” he said, while He emphasized the use of Bitcoin as a possible financial solution.
Freedom is precisely Machado’s cry and that is precisely what bitcoin represents, as it has come to represent “the money of freedom, because it cannot be censored or confiscated by the regime.”
Gladstein, who openly defends the use of bitcoin, highlighted how his technology offers Venezuelans a way out of a collapsed financial systemIn fact, the lack of access to banking and the constant violations of human rights have led many to consider digital currency as a tool of resistance and protection of individual assets.
“I invite all those who share these values to advocate for a peaceful transition of power in Venezuela,” Machado said, highlighting the importance of using Bitcoin to support this cause without fear of retaliation.
