Export assistance in Bolivia
My name is Rodrigo, and I'm an organic quinoa exporter in La Paz, Bolivia. The quinoa we sell doesn't come from a large industrial farm; it comes from family plots in the highlands, where more than forty small producers plant, harvest, and clean the grain under the sun and wind, with a dedication that can only stem from pride in their land. Every payment I receive from abroad isn't just my income; it's the livelihood of dozens of farming families.

But in a short time, everything collapsed. The Central Bank's reserves began to dwindle, banks ran out of dollars, and as a result, the parallel dollar market emerged and grew, going from a rumor to the real benchmark of the market.

How to start using cryptocurrencies
Cryptocurrencies in Bolivia and Latin America sounded like science fiction not so long ago. It seemed like a topic reserved for programmers in Silicon Valley or "internet geniuses" who worked with incomprehensible code and spent nights staring at black screens filled with green letters.

The Evolution of the Parallel Dollar in Bolivia
Until a couple of years ago, the exchange rate for the dollar in Bolivia was so fixed it seemed like one of those statues in a public square: immovable, immortal, and, for many, almost invisible.

But as with all economic stories in Latin America, the calm doesn't last long: in recent years, Bolivian exchange rate stability has been shaken, and the parallel market has emerged with force.
