It's a bit disappointing how little you hear what Steem does for countries like Venezuela and the people there, meanwhile a $10k donation by Coinbase gets all the hype who are a multi-billion dollar company while Steems marketcap is around $60 million. 

It's all about marketing sadly.

hey hey @abh12345 nice to meet you again with this post.
Orinoco is a great team of young Venezuelans who believe in Venezuela and are betting on giving love to this country that needs it so much. Thank you for making public the work of this great team, I am sure that you have greater visibility and many this chain will be able to know their work.

@acidyo , as there are users who only make a publication and then leave, do not think that it is due to lack of interest, perhaps it may be that the conditions for us Venezuelans to make publications are increasingly complicated, when we only have 4 hours of electric light, we can hardly have an internet connection, however, many users remain active working, participating in activities, making talks about steem in universities, in schools, and providing time, effort, and love for this block chain

Maybe we are not the ones who invest the most money, but we have managed to stay active.

I wish you all my best wishes and good vibes. This chain is wonderful and I will continue here for many more years. :)

That's massive and mind boggling stats

I met steemit last year, the money for our work is not enough and we had to look for alternatives. My husband searching YouTube, some alternative, saw video about steem. He commented to me but I could not believe that there was something where you were paid to publish. My husband started working on steemit and was trying to convince me, but it seemed crazy or a lie. I told him that I would try it and it was when we created my account, in January 2018. I was testing and I liked the platform, I have never liked social networks because there is no interesting content for me, however, in steemit there is a lot of variety of content and I liked that.
 
...then I did not know how to change coins to bolivars, because really the situation here in Venezuela deserves it, it is impossible to live alone with the salary. Today the minimum basic salary is equal to or less, (depending on where you buy it), at what a kilogram of meat costs.

I didn't know how to change my coins and I made a post asking how I could change my coins. There a girl told me to use orinoco.

With orinoco I made my first change, and I have used it a lot, they are reliable.
Steemit has really been a blessing to our home, with steem we have paid for my oldest daughter's school, and we have bought food.

**Thanks to all those steemians who support my Venezuelan people at the moment, I am sure that when Venezuela comes out of this crisis, all of us who are benefiting today and helping with steemit will be the first investors !!! because we are grateful and this great help that is steemit, we will never forget.**

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.

I must say Steem will be very useful or even crypto currencies for that matter, to all third world countries or developing countries. 

Those are indeed impressive number @abh12345

Do you have any idea how much Steem Inc. sold within same period of time? I wonder if STINC sold more that all venezuelans alltogether....

Upvote on the way! :)

Cheers
Piotr

That's unreal! Keep up the good work! :))

Facts like these needs to be on trending and on the portals of crypto news webs.

Good, friend. I often use Orinoco when I need to sell Steem or SBD for basic needs. Steem is very fast for transaction and that's something I like very much.

buen proyecto donde nos beneficia a nosotros los venezolanos. saludos
