This is going to be fun! From what I can pick up as (sometimes less than) subtle signalling from the crypto crowd, they tend towards a worldview somewhere between libertarian and alt-right on the spectrum, and Venezuela occupies that sweet spot of placing itself squarely opposite, and being terrible at, well, everything.
Matt Levine has sporadically covered this particularly folly, and it's well worth it: https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=matt+le... (spoiler alert: he reveals everything up and including next year's season finale "Nope, that didn't work. Why did we ever think it would? Now, what shall we do about that Brazilian army trying to 'liberate' us?")
