Hello my friends, My name is David Torrealba, I am 21 years old and I am studying Library Science at one of the best universities in the country, the U.C.V., and if I had not mentioned it before, I am Venezuelan.

Venezuela.... what could I tell you that you don't know anymore because of what's on the news? But I will try to make as graphic as possible what I and millions of Venezuelans are going through.

Can you imagine that your salary, the compensation for your hard work for a month, is not enough to buy a kilo of meat, or a kilo of chicken or a kilo of cheese? That's exactly what Venezuelans experience, because of superinflation, the prices of food and services increase in value daily. Easily a product worth 1 dollar in a week can be worth 2 dollars, which means that most food or services are above a minimum wage.

It is important to clarify that here in venezuela the minimum wage was 2 dollars, and a kilo of meat cost 2 dollars this generates that with a salary you cannot support a family, and that is why you need about 100 salaries to feed a family in venezuela.

This is why Venezuelans have resorted to various options to survive in a country where even 50 minimum salaries or a university degree are useless. While some Venezuelans managed to emigrate in order to be worthy of a salary that would cover more than a kilo of meat, other Venezuelans opted for the option of looking for a salary through the internet and bitcoin. There are currently hundreds of websites that generate revenues of around $10-20 per month. This is why these pages have become so attractive to millions of Venezuelans ,to the point that they have left their own jobs in order to generate a more dignified salary and in less hours in their homes

In addition, the Internet not only has the advantage of being able to generate income in dollars, but also, there are hundreds of pages that give you virtual currencies for just registering on the pages and this is very beneficial for many Venezuelans who know that in the not too near future, the protagonism will be virtual currencies.

In conclusion, in Venezuela we are going through one of the strongest economic, social and political crises and it must be made clear that every day that the crisis goes on, the income generated by the Internet is not enough. But if there's one thing we need to show, it's that despite the crisis we're going through, we Venezuelans will always find a way to move forward.
