Valiu And Protecting Wealth In South America

On this episode of the Bitcoin Magazine podcast, host Christian Keroles sits down with Simon Chamorro to discuss Valiu, a tool for protecting Colombian pesos from inflation and remit funds to friends and family in Venezuela, which has been hit heavily by hyperinflation.

Chamorro discusses how his platform navigates regulation and how the Valiu team approaches user experience. Finally, he discusses the financial issues in South America and how both Bitcoin and synthetic dollars are helping.
