Where does my knowledge come from? It comes from studying. I studied economic theory, economic history, the history of the international monetary system, and the economies of many of these countries. I read the reports from reputable organisations such as the IMF and the UN, and the regular news sources. So I'm well-informed and therefore I don't need to invent made-up Venezuelan friends like every Bitcoin propagandist does. I know, for example, that hyperinflation is one of the least pressing problems for Venezuelans. Most of them don't have savings that can be eroded by rapidly increasing prices, and the ones that do aren't stupid enough to invest their savings in an unsafe asset that can lose >50% of its value in one evening. Cryptocurrencies improve the lives of absolutely no one, so stop pretending that they do.
