World of Warcraft gold is more expensive than Venezuelan national currency
The rate of virtual gold World of Warcraft to the US dollar exceeded the rate of the Venezuelan bolivar. Buy dollars for the South American can only be in the black market, where the rate for August 2, according to Dollartoday, is about 12,000 bolivar.
At the same time, according to the resource Mmobux, which tracks the sale of in-game currency WoW, 10 000 gold can be bought for at least $ 1.21 (or about 32 UAH), writes The Blaze.
Back in May, the US dollar could be bought for 279 bolivars. In June, the rate fell to 408 bolivars per dollar and has since continued to rapidly depreciate. According to the forecast of the International Monetary Fund for May, inflation in the country in 2017 was to be 720%, and next year - 2 068%. But in August, it has far surpassed these forecasts.
The country continues to protest against the power of the socialist regime of President Nicholas Maduro. The economy of the country continues to fall because of the decline in oil prices and the impossibility of the authorities to cope with the crisis. The situation in recent days has been exacerbated by the introduction of sanctions against Maduro by the United States. They responded to the Venezuelan president's attempt to rewrite the constitution in order to finally usurp power.

I'm sorry to hear Venezuelans are having hard time. I hope you introduce wow gold instead of bolivars, would last longer.
1 US Dollar = 22,730.50 Vietnamese Dong O.O
I just now realized that due to the popularity of Warcraft and thus the amount of money that revolves around it, it seems to me that its virtual gold,actually behaves like another cryptocurrency!
