A gap to promote the crypto-currency
As a result of yet another attempt by the government to democratize its digital currency, which is now indexed to the price of a barrel of oil national, this airdrop could be an important lever in the mission outreach of the asset.
In fact, the Petro has long been a crypto-currency on a small scale on the market and this is reflected in a trading volume of very low. In this case, the asset is listed for half-price on the majority of crypto-exchanges, then it is formally indexed to the price of a barrel of oil from venezuela according to the government, that is, 30 dollars approximately.
The reason for this devaluation chronic Petro is based on the low liquidity of the token, which is owned by a small handful of Venezuelans, despite the relentless campaign of the government for its use. On the other hand, the political conflict and trade between the United States and the Venezuela impacts directly on the confidence of the community in crypto assets.
Today, the Petro plays his trump card, since the absence of subsidies to fiat currency, the free distribution of a single token in a digital account of a doctor is equivalent to several months salary, which will not fail to reverse the trend on the reputation of the long-term asset.
