A new paradise for crypto

In Ian Fleming’s 1961 novel, “Thunderball”, Ernst Stavro Blofeld, James Bond’s archenemy, considers the bolívar, along with the Swiss franc, to be the “hardest” of all the world’s currencies, an ideal store of value for the takings of his criminal enterprise. This fictional depiction accurately reflected contemporary economics. Between 1950 and 1980, Venezuela had the lowest rate of inflation in the world.
