Venezuela’s new cryptocurrency doesn’t seem to exist

Any thought on this?

“Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro claims that sales of the petro, the supposedly oil-reserve-backed national cryptocurrency he launched in February, have already raised $3.3 billion, and that the coin is being used to pay for imports. But an investigation by Reuters has found no evidence to back those claims—or that the petro is even a functional cryptocurrency.”

From what I hear, Venezuela doesn’t seem to exist.

The moon landing is fake.
The government is controlled by a reptilian alien race and they are putting chemicals in the water to make the frogs gay.

You didn’t mention the JFK assassination conspiracy. Just finished a trio of books on that one, fertile ground for the theorists that’s for sure.

That and 9/11 too.
All joking aside, a crypto linked to a natural resource as backing seems to be a good idea, at least at first glance.
