The Portal Grill, one of the exclusive restaurants with the longest trajectory in the town of Puerto Ordaz in Ciudad Guayana, is the first and only food establishment to accept cryptoactives as a means of payment in Venezuela.
Pablo Pérez, owner of El Portal Grill, decided to turn his services around and ally with his university partner and now CEO of the blockchain project OnixCoin, Angel Salazar. "Our customers are fascinated to know that they can trade with the currency and pay with it," he says.
The restaurant calculates the conversion of ONX or BTC to bolivars in the account.
Regarding the legal context that exists in Venezuela, framed in a control of change. Ángel Salazar, CEO of OnixCoin, said that "in Venezuela we believe that what is not in the law is not illegal. Cryptocurrencies are not illegal. " "There is no regulation that imposes the bolivar as the only means of payment. You can use barter, for example. And cryptocurrencies are interchangeable digital assets, so it's like bartering. However, invoices are printed in amounts in bolivars and taxes are paid in bolivars. On the other hand, we understood that (Bitcoin) is an intangible asset that can be exchanged in barter and can be acquired as an asset by a company or natural person. That paved the way for us to get closer to the companies and talk about the issue without fear, "said Salazar.
Both entrepreneurs aspire to expand the cryptocurrency ecosystem in Venezuela, for which they will develop two special solutions to involve more businesses at a national level, including a section in their platform for businesses wishing to join the project, which will generate printable ads with a QR code and the OnixCoin portfolio management of the establishment, allowing customers to pay from their cell phones and locals to attract with this new form of payment.
