*Safety*
Mining of Petro (PTR) is centralised by the corrupt Venezuelan state. There is absolutely no safety. Their “PoS and PoW algorithm” nonsense is useless and a ruse.

It used to be “backed” by petroleum. Now it’s “backed” by 50% oil, 20% gold, 20% iron and 10% diamond. However, (1) it’s not actually redeemable, so it's not actually backed by anything; and (2) we’re supposed to trust the Venezuelan government's to audit it.
The press conference today was mostly vague nonsensical declarations without concrete details on the launch.
Petro is a sham, just like the Bs.S is a sham. Don't be fooled by the Venezuelan state; use a real cryptocurrency for commerce.
