    Media: the Venezuelan government bypasses sanctions through airports using bitcoin

    Venezuela uses Bitcoin to circumvent US sanctions at airports, rather than El Petro's own national digital currency. It is reported by the Cointelegraph , citing local media.

    According to media reports, the country's president, Nicolas Maduro, introduced an automated system for collecting aviation taxes at the international airport of Maiquetia using the Jet Man Pay application with their subsequent conversion into bitcoins and withdrawal from the country.

    It is reported that the process of converting and transferring Venezuela is helped by partners from China, Russia and Hungary. Translated into dollars, these funds are subsequently deposited in government-controlled bank accounts in these countries.

    In the future, according to local media, Maduro plans to extend this scheme to other airports in the country. In addition to the air missions, it is planned to withdraw funds from refueling charges for transit aircraft in the same way soon.

    Recall, the Venezuelans themselves have also been turning to Bitcoin for a long time, and not to El Petro, which the authorities are trying to implement in as many sectors as possible (it was reported that El Petro began transferring pensions , and banks were obliged to display the state of users' accounts in the national cryptocurrency) .

    It happens against the background of the deepest economic crisis in the country. About how Venezuela has become one of the world leaders in hyperinflation and how Bitcoin helps people cope with this situation, there is a lot of great material on BlockchainJournal .

    Note, US President Donald Trump signed a decree banning US citizens from any operations with El Petro last year.
