It's extremely sad, we were never a perfect country but it was possible to have a decent life in Venezuela if you worked hard enough, nowadays most of the people that live here is just struggling to survive, trying to make it everyday. I have been lucky to never suffered from any kind of starvation but my life is basically going to work everyday and make money so I can buy food for my family, things like going for a drink, going to the movies or travelling are luxuries that the regular venezuelan cannot afford to do as much as the used to, some of them don't even do it anymore, everything goes to food.

Platforms like Steemit have been a breath fresh air for us because we are able to earn in a coin that has more worth than the Bolivar and I know many people that were able to leave Venezuela, thanks to their savings acquired via Steemit. Thank you for article, I hope it helps to raise awareness of all the things going on here and maybe the world can give us a hand in the near future.
