Last Monday, the Venezuelan government declared that as of this week the country's national cryptocurrency could be purchased at the headquarters of the "Superintendence of Cryptoactives and Related Activities", better known by its acronym "Sunacrip".

Also, according to the statements and arguments put forward by the Venezuelan government, investors can now freely buy Petros through fiduciary currencies and other cryptocurrencies. In fact, the delegates of the great power, China, bought some Petros with yuan.

New support from Petro?

In its origins, Petro was only backed by oil; however, in the last official technical report, it was shown that the virtual currency is now also backed by gold, iron and diamond.

On the other hand, the vice president of economy, Tareck El Aissami, informed that Petro can be obtained by different means, either by some currency or foreign currency (dollar, yuan and euro), or by some cryptocurrency that is popular and profitable in the market as they are: the BTC, ETH and XEM.

Finally I would like to read what you think about this event, because I was surprised in particular that Tareck gave these statements, when the Petro, really has no back whatsoever.
