RE: Crypto or Fiat Currency: It's All About Trust
Thank you so much! I had Venezuela partly in mind when I wrote. Spanish (trying to read it, speak it) is one of my hobbies so I read posts by Venezuelan steemians.
Interesting that you mention your grandfather. Mine lived through the Great Depression in the US. He was a farmer and apparently came close to losing everything. He refused to deal with banks when I was a child. I remember he bought a house, and 10 acres, for cash. I think his aversion to banks led to a certain amount of disarray for his heirs. Of course, all of this was family legend, but the thing that stuck in my mind was his suspicion of banks.
Writing this post was fun, and also a learning experience. That's the best part of blogging, the things I learn--and the people I "meet".
Appreciate your reading and commenting!
