Since the launch of the Petro, only 12 transactions
The lie of Maduro! The Petro has had only 12 transactions since its launchThe Cooperator
translated from Spanish
Caracas, April 6 .- President Nicolás Maduro said in recent days that the petromoneda was a total "success" and would be the way to stabilize the country's economy.
Nothing further from reality. The Venezuelan economist and deputy of the National Assembly, Angel Alvarado, said Friday that Petro has had only 12 transactions since its launch, of which 10 are commissions for the platform**.
"This is the truth about Petro: 12 transactions since its launch, of which 10 are commissions for the platform. Just 465 petros worth 27 thousand dollars is what the NEM platform reports. Another socialist failure!", Detailed in his Twitter account.

**NEM is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency and blockchain platform.
A whole two "legitimate" transactions? (and 10 transactions whereby sellers are reaping their commissions?) I guess when you have 13,000% inflation and your currency is worthless, you take your victories when you can!
