primarily by WP:CRYSTAL. An announcement by Maduro is not an actual crypto-currency. power~enwiki (π, ν) 03:06, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Er...I didn't see this when I created Petro (currency), so I'll redirect to here. Anyway, Keep; there is enough coverage already to satisfy WP:GNG. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 04:52, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The cryptocurrency has attracted three news articles in the short time since it's been announced. Enterprisey (talk!) 08:34, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- To be pedantic, the announcement of the cryptocurrency has attracted three news articles. I see no sign that the cryptocurrency itself exists; does it have any value? Can it be used in shops? Is it being crypto-mined? The BBC says He gave no details on how, or when, the new currency would be launched. power~enwiki (π, ν) 17:24, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - Well, a lot more than three, but the others merely covered the same points as the ones cited. And your comment is a fair point; however, something does not necessarily have to exist in order to be notable. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 21:46, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Merge, a couple of years ago there was a similar project called the Bolivar Coin, I think this could be included along with other countries proposals to start a cryptocurrency. --Jamez42 (talk) 14:17, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This might be yet another phenomenon characteristic of Bolivarianism (present-day Venezuela). --Fadesga (talk) 22:31, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - obvious keep because of national importance. Störm (talk) 17:05, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep WP:CYRSTAL means there's scarce information from RS such that the article contain substantial unsourced and speculative information, but this is clearly not the as a subject covered by our worldwide- respected sources BBC, Reuters, NYT, –Ammarpad (talk) 17:35, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep notorious. --Panam2014 (talk) 00:33, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as enough reporting to satisfy WP:GNG. --RaviC (talk) 17:23, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
