The actions of the United States in Venezuela are one of the most relevant geopolitical topics in Latin America in recent years. Through economic sanctions, financial restrictions, and diplomatic pressure, the U.S. has directly influenced the Venezuelan economy, generating effects that go beyond the country's borders — including the increase in the adoption of cryptocurrencies.
In this article, we analyze how these actions impacted the economy, the financial system, and the growth of the use of crypto assets in Venezuela.

📊 What are Cryptocurrencies and why are they changing the financial market?
Cryptocurrencies emerged as an alternative to the traditional financial system, bringing innovation, decentralization, and new possibilities for investment and technology. Since the emergence of Bitcoin in 2009, this market has rapidly evolved and today moves billions of dollars worldwide.
🔐 The concept behind cryptocurrencies
Cryptocurrencies are digital assets that use cryptography to ensure security in transactions. Unlike traditional money, they do not rely on banks or governments to exist. Their operation occurs through blockchain, a technology that records all transactions in a transparent, immutable, and distributed way.

In the financial market, investors are often categorized as either "sharks" or "sardines." Sharks are large institutional investors, investment funds, and players with enormous capital power. Sardines, on the other hand, represent small individual investors, who are often seen as easy prey. However, being a sardine has several advantages that can be exploited to achieve investment success.

1. Greater Flexibility

Large investors need to move huge amounts of money, which makes their operations slower and more visible in the market. Small investors, on the other hand, can enter and exit positions without attracting attention, taking advantage of short-term opportunities and quickly adjusting their strategies.
