Hi @awilhelm! welcome to Leo! I'm from Venezuela as well, I noticed that cryptocurrencies are being adopted here very well by some bussiness, however, a large part of the population may not understand much of this new digital currencies.

I would say that we surely live in a growing crypto-friendly country, but some people might be still too much un-receptive to cryptocurrencies.

I can't run before I walk, I must take my steps right and stomp, at least I already have the foundations to start which is this great library of knowledge in cryptography that this platform offers.

Surely you'll grow and learn a lot on LeoFinance and Hive. Greetings!
