#Venezuela's Maduro says he's authorizing 5 billion barrels of heavy crude located in Field 1 of the country's Ayacucho heavy bloc to serve as backing for the new Petro cryptocurrency. "This is a financial, monetary revolution." Each Petro = 1 barrel of oil.

Katherine and others at @Vendata_org are doing a superb job of making sense of the little data that exists in Venezuela. This, while often unsung, allows for real transparency and serious journalism. https://t.co/81keB2RuP1

I’m also proud of this story which showed that published Venezuelan electoral results didn’t quite match internal documents https://t.co/aqHI6vFEVZ

I’m also pleased with some of my photography this year from Venezuela, Iraq and Afghanistan. I’ll be doing more of this next year.

[Girish Gupta @jammastergirish]

But the work I’m most proud of isn’t that, rather a personal project, https://t.co/aGyoZCcAh6

I’ll be leaving Reuters and full-time journalism in March to focus on this—and other things, like physics and tech.

I’ll continue to dabble in journalism too though.

@VictoriaJoss @HansHsuperhans @hannahdreier Hannah reported in situ from Venezuela in real time for many many month, she had said more than many, for a sample: her Twitter feed

@VictoriaJoss @HansHsuperhans @hannahdreier More reason to read more about it

Portugal has a left-wing progressive government, but President Maduro thinks that the government of Portugal conspires against Venezuela. I hope my pals in Syriza take notes, they are next...and of course, Maduro will be left without any support in Europe.

Dándole gracias a Dios y a la Virgen del Socorro. Acabo de salir en libertad!
Gracias a todos por sus oraciones y apoyo en estos meses tan difíciles. Pido por la libertad de todos los presos políticos!
Vienen mejores días para Venezuela.

As Venezuela's government launches its own cryptocurrency, don't forget many Venezuelans use more traditional (!) cryptocurrencies to bypass the government's strict economic controls https://t.co/RBWNkK6014

Maduro en la encrucijada, sánguches sin pérnil.

[Víctor Amaya @victoramaya]

El gobierno no pagó el dinero para la importación del pernil portugués. Una empresa revela que la deuda del gobierno de Maduro asciende a 40 millones de euros a las compañías que ofrecen el producto. ¿Guerra económica? ¿Sabotaje? https://t.co/PlfRIAon96

Ahora el malo es...Portugal. Original. Siempre son otros los responsables por la miseria en #Venezuela - EU, exiliados en Miami, el capitalismo, Polar, los Colombianos. https://t.co/GVs0ZAcMbo

The soundtrack in my mind as I read this: every furious leftist speech I heard in the 1990s about how the evil neoliberals wanted to mortgage our oil before they'd even pumped it out of the ground... https://t.co/iQJMVpST5c

[David Smilde @dsmilde]

In other words the Petro is not a crypto currency but a (not very) crypto means of selling unconstitutional oil futures. https://t.co/j2llfehcu2
