In my opinion, politics has a huge impact on crypto. Even though crypto was developed to be independent and to become an alternative to our current monetary systems, I think that politics can turn this upside down. Just think of the lawmakers. A state could ban crypto easily - just like that. Nevertheless how much their population enjoyed it or not. Just think of the states in which Uber is banned to protect the taxi drivers. Don't you think they will not ban crypto too to protect banks or their monetary system? To be honest, I think this will happen if the government doesn't get enough profits out of this.

What can be done? The best solution would be a negotiated transition. Mr Maduro would finish his term but would respect the constitution and parliament, free political prisoners and guarantee that overdue regional elections, and the presidential contest next year, take place fairly. However, an attempt at such a negotiation failed last year, and there is no sign that Mr Maduro and his cronies will voluntarily surrender power. Those who want to save Venezuela have limited influence, but they are not helpless. The opposition, a variegated alliance long on personal ambition and short of cohesion, needs to do far more to become a credible alternative government. That includes agreeing on a single leader. Some in the opposition think all that is needed to trigger the regime’s collapse is to ramp up the protests. That looks fanciful. Mr Maduro can still count on the army, with which he co-governs. In Venezuela’s command economy he controls such money as there is, and retains the backing of a quarter of Venezuelans—enough to put his own people on the streets. And he has the advice of Cuba’s security officials, who are experts in selective repression.
