RE: Steem account holders have transferred over $300,000 to one Venezuelan exchange since it opened at the beginning of 2018
Yes. The trending tag has been #spanish but in the venezuelans would talk their own language it would have been #venezuelish. Im not sure about the numbers, but I'd say that more than 95% of the post writen in spanish are writen from venezuelans. The on-boarding on that country have been massive over the last 3 years. Users are good and add value to the chain (specially those who write high quality content) but there is also a lack of investors. And we all know what happens if people only sells and no body buys.
Yeah, the lack of investment is there but there are obvious reasons for that. The sum is really only a small % of the total earnings by accounts on Steem, but it's a noticeable amount for a country going through troubled times.
