How did Veneuzuela end up like this ?
Venezuelans who can should request to be paid in bitcoin from foreigners. This probably would work best for those abroad since the bitcoin can be remitted as if there was no border at all. Venezuelans who have knowledge labor -- programmers, researchers, data entry, could also be paid in bitcoin. Eventually when enough people have bitcoin it could also be used to exchange value without the country.
The reason Venezuela is like it is now is an incredibly complex subject spanning several decades of bad governments, corruption, oil money dependency, social inequality, etc ... accelerated by a particularly disastrous current government.
