Leonardo Vera, an economist and university professor, brought back to the table an issue that in Venezuela sounds distant but ultimately ends up affecting the wallet of anyone who exchanges dollars for bolívares every day: external debt. His thesis is straightforward: before sitting down to renegotiate, the country needs a forensic audit of its liabilities. And the figure he cites is nothing trivial: about US$170 billion.
For PitbullChain, that discussion is not an exclusive matter for bondholders in New York or officials in Washington. It is the backdrop to everything that happens with the exchange rate, access to foreign currency, and ultimately the price at which you can get a USDT in Venezuela’s peer-to-peer market.
