RE: What a Crisis Looks Like in Venezuela
I couldn't imagine functioning in an economy like that. Are people willing to trade goods for goods? How about things like small silver coins? @ironshield

Trading is not so common right now but there are people who does that and even more in dollars. People are selling their houses and cars in dollars because they want to go abroad.
Now, silver is not worthy, but gold, that is very expensive and lucrative. There is a raising of many shops where you can sell your gold and receive money. It is because many people who are outside the country send the money to buy us the little gold we could have for a bargain and then sell it abroad in an international price.
Of course, the gram of gold is worth 50.000.000 BsF is a lot of money and now is even dangerous to go to the shops because they tell to some thief who were the people who went to the shop and steal them.
So @ironshield, as you can see, there's a lot that is going on here.
Thank you for answering my question. I hope things improve over there. @ironshield
