Wow, what a story. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I would be interested in learning more. Is there community amongst the Venezuelan refugees in Ecuador? What's the story with bitcoin usage, in general, in Venezuela and Ecuador? Did you end up doing the same job the whole time?
Answering the question about bitcoin, I really don't know the extent of its use in Ecuador, when I lived there I didn't know of its existence. I found out about bitcoin when I returned to Venezuela, my cousin had told me that a friend's father had managed to buy a house thanks to it and he mentioned something about mining, but at that time I ignored it, it seemed curious to me, but I didn't investigate. In the matter, it was a mistake of course, I was going through a lot of things at the same time. It was only in 2021 that my partner and I fully entered bitcoin to learn and learn. I have not been in Venezuela for years because I emigrated again, but I was surprised to know that many Venezuelans have managed to continue surviving in Venezuela thanks to bitcoin, even in many stores and small stores they accept bitcoin or stablecoin, I also saw that there is a supermarket franchise and restaurants that pay their employees with crypto. The crisis is still there, the lack of medicine, a shortage of gasoline, not to mention water and electricity, yesterday I was on a video call with my mother at mid-day and they ran out of electricity, it came back at 7pm, a disaster.

For years, you can't even imagine the lines people have to stand in to get it. Would it be good to make a post to explain the gasoline shortage in one of the countries with the most oil?
