Also don't support Venezuelan government, they are ruining their country. I'm from Brazil, Venezuelan people are leaving the country in mass to here and Colombia, because theres no work neither food for them there.

Why would someone invest in a centralized virtual currency ran by people who constantly proved how they don't know how to make a currency prosperous and how they steal as much as they can.

I will leave a bigger warning. If someone invest in that circus they will remember about me, they will regret it.

They are not only destroying a country with a lot of oil(something really hard to do) but they are also killing a lot of people with their bad desitions. I am seeing it with my own eyes everyday.

I read about this the other day and decided to post the warning here. It is a warning to US investors!

Unless you're the United States PresidenTrump or the United States Secretary of State you'll need to provide an article or source for such information, for us to believe you, that is.

Pics...err facts or it didn't happen!

Seriously, where did you obtain this information?



Because of the current US sanctions against Venezuela. As I understand it, no US institution can lend any money to Venezuela, and buying their crypto could be construed as such. It's up to the courts to decide, of course, but they're warning people anyway to avoid potential legal consequences. US citizens could still do as they please and "invest", but at their own risk.

If it's not yet decided in the courts than US citizens can continue to conduct business with Venezuelan exchanges until the point at which the US Courts declare such activity illegal.

A better question - what major crypto currency exchange operates out of Venezuela? Name one!

Unless somebody already posted the same, I'm guessing it came from here https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/7zfp9p/this_needs_to_be_said_if_you_are_a_us_resident_or/.
