How Cryptocurrencies are helping Venezuelans in need! Over +50 arepas and 12 Kilos pasta gaveaway in less than in a month!.
My name is Victor, Have been into cryptocurrencies for a while!.
First thing first, I'm from Venezuela and things are not that great here, I'm not going to get in detail with that, because a quick Google Search should show more that I can write here.
My adventure began when I posted in reddit that in my city in Venezuela a local butcher shop was accepting crypto! 
After my post in reddit I got a donations sent to my BTC address from users of /r/Bitcoin and /r/Cryptocurrency, I was sincerily Overwhelmed at first! but then a user dm'ed me saying "Do something good with it" and that's what I did. I recruited my Abuelas, Mom and Friends and got to work!
Here's a little video with a highlight reel!
After that, I was emotionally bounded to do more, So that's why I did!. I got in contact with a couple friends who told me about this charity that helps in the same hospital that I visited.
I knew that I had to do more, so...
Quickly went and got hold of a Bag of 12 Kilos of pasta and 10 Jar of Sauce, I wanted to had some meat in there but due to the short notice, and Shortage of Meat in my town I couldn't get hold of meat.
Over +50 plates of pasta were given away
Here's a quick video of that day!. Shoutouts to the other group of people that joined us with a big bowl of soup
Now I'm joining Steemit thanks to @acidyo, messaged me on Reddit about this platform, and here I am.
More things are to come with your help!.

Bienvenidos a Steemit amigo! It's good to see you doing good for people and it's great also to be able to do this with crypto! I'm kinda surprise a butcher shop accept crypto their in your country. That's crazy cool.
I would love to also introduce you to other platform if you'd like to learn more and maybe go a bit further with those.
https://fundition.io A fund raising platform that would just fit your project for sure @fundition
As you also do some videos, https://d.tube/ probably a place to drop some good vids and earn a bit more for you people.
Already given you a follow and will be supporting where I can as a small little one here.
Of course! :)
Again, Bienvenidos amigo! :)
Thanks! I uploaded the video on d.tube!
Followed.
While many know about some of the issues in Venezuela, I think more really need to write personal stories and views. We don't necessarily really know what it's like. We just get some watered down overview, often slanted in some way. We don't know what the daily life is like, or what a lot of the people think.
I hope you and other Venezuelans share more with the world. Here, you not only have a voice, but a chance to get paid for it, whether or not it always pays incredibly well. It definitely builds up over time.
There are a lot of Venezuelans here. I was in contact with one and that was how I got to know that the country is in serious trouble... you are right, They need to share their stories.
Using this platform I maybe more inclined to keep a blog style dairy, since in reddit it was hard to do that, steem looks like a better platfrom for that
Please do! I would love to hear more out of you.
yes! this is what cryptocurrency is all about. i am so glad you are here now, thank you so much to @acidyo for bringing you here! YES GURL YES!!!!
