I'm stoked to have joined the Sony Alpha team (!) and I've partnered with them to GIVEAWAY 3 of their newest ZV-1 vlogging cameras. To win: follow @drewbinsky and @sonyalpha on Instagram and comment 2 sentences below on what you'd do with the camera. I'm also including a signed postcard from Venezuela and a 10,000 VZ banknote in each box. Yay!
------------
I recently hit the streets of Caracas with my local friends Gabo and Emmanuel to see if we could exchange $100 USD for local Venezuelan Bolivares. At the time when I shot this video, $100 USD was about 170 Million Bolivares, but now at the time of posting, $100 USD is about 300 million Bolivares. The currency has depreciated by almost 100%.
We spent ALL day walking into small shops, bakeries, market vendors (etc) in Caracas and unfortunately, we were only able to exchange $62... Yes, we really did have a backpack full of cash on our backs. It was wild.
The economic crisis in Venezuela is very sad and it's hard to comprehend what's happening. And how fast it's happening. I have empathy for the people here who are suffering to make ends meet, but instead of dwelling on the situation, it's been refreshing to see many of the locals being resilient and optimistic for a brighter future. I made this video to give you a glimpse of real life on the streets of Caracas because I think it's important to give you an honest perspective. I love this city and country with all of my heart - it has the BEST food, hospitality and culture in all of South America 💛💙❤️ If you're still reading this, I want you to know that I love you and thanks for supporting my channel. I pour my blood, sweat tears into making these videos and I hope they are opening up your eyes to the world. Happy Sunday and Mother's Day -- I love you, mom!

imagine waking up one day to find out that the money you have been saving for most of your adult life, is now worthless. absolutely heart wrenching.
That's what inflation is, taxation on your savings .
That's why it's important to invest , but that depends on your country as well.
I guess buying gold is a good way to save money , or real estate on other places .
That's why it is better to use your money for investment like GOLD,HOUSE,PROPERTIES ETC.
Because money is jus a paper,it has NO VALUE..VALUE OF MONEY IS ONLY DEFENDS on what kind of government you have 😏
Thats the FACT
@@theillyri8339 Yeah, gold is good. Silver is too- plus it's a lot cheaper than gold, so it's a lot easier to buy than gold. 1oz gold coins are around US$1,800 compared to 1oz silver coins about US$30.
Keeping your savings in different currencies helps too. US dollars, euros, Japanese yen, Swiss francs, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, New Zealand dollars, Singaporean dollars are all pretty good & stable.
@@angelitoguiruela8233 In Norway no one barely use paper cash anymore. It's all digital. So money is just numbers in our bank account
That's what happenesnto us in Lebanon as well :(
Just pay 500usd for all the coins in the county you’d probably have metal value of 800k usd
i think that's will be illegal and thay will be confiscated on the borders

They don't make coin anymore I think

Coinage? we don´t have coinage here, but if you want to buy the old ones from 2005/2007/2011, you can buy a kilo just for 200$.

Fun facts from a hungarian: after WW2 HU had the biggest hyperinflation, it was absurd. I mean 10^16% (thats 16 zeros) inflation caused denominations that were easier to be written with abbriviated letters than with actual numbers on the paper money itself (largest used note was 21 zeros, and a larger was planned before abandoning the currency) Prices doubled every 16 hours in the worst period during the year long hyperinflation. Of course people like my great grand parents were like "modern problems require ancient solutions" and reverted to barter, city people gave clothes exchange for rural people's food. My grandmother and her siblings worked their assess off with day-to-day jobs and errands in that year as like children (8-12 y olds) and their biggest achievement and "payment" was a goat. Great thing she still lives and told the stories about the war and what it was like when the first world fucked itself up to have third world conditions for a brief time. Lot to learn from history through common peoples eyes.

I left Venezuela 5 years ago, it’s crazy how everything has changed since then, yet the people still with good energy and positive. Hopefully one day i can see and go to a Venezuela in better days.
This is why patriots of the United States fight so hard against the democrats. They pushing for socialism.
@@timothyblackburn6801 true, i live in the us now, and i’m against democrat idea. People don’t understand that because the US never have seen or lived something like this before.

@@nestpin I KNOW!!! and unfortunately, we have about 50 million illegal people in this country looking for a free hand out, that have no clue how it works.
Once you drain the bank paying off all the stupid socialist supporters, and stopping production of manufacturing and Oil, then the country goes broke and we all fall into the life of a Venezuelan. Worst part is, one the United States falls, there is NO OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD TO RUN TO FOR HELP.
I pray The People of Venezuela will one day take back their beautiful country full of culture and beauty, and become once again, a country on the rise of the big stage.
As for us? Lol, the people will NEVER allow the socialist to take full control and destroy us.
We will literally come out from ever blade of grass, and fight to the death as we always have.
Freedom has never been free, and real Americans know that.
We WILL WIN!!!!.

My dad being a diplomat, I lived in many countries whilst growing up, amongst those Venezuela from 1971-73, I was not yet 7 when I left. The Bolivar was nicknamed the South American Dollar, a real power house in the region, silver coins had been in circulation until recently and my interest in coins became a full fledged collection. Venezuelan coins where mostly beautiful nickel coins designed by famed French engraver Barré. As a fun fact, I later lived in Austria, where the Schilling was called "Alpine Dollar" and where commemorative silver coins were in circulation until the 80s.
Going to Austria is random
wow that's so cool your experience growing up I am extremely envious and jealous
It's so sad how it's worth absolutely nothing today.. I pray for all the Venezuelans out there. 👏 Venezuela can be a powerhouse economy in South America. Can be one of the best countries.. But it is literally the worst country.

Honestly I think in these type of situation, you should show that you fairly compensated people for their time (and what they provide for you for your channel). Obviously Martin’s money is worthless, but it is youtube revenue for you. I hope, and think you should showcase at least some compensation for them.
I felt bad for Martin (the guy in the end) he showed everyone those old bills and coins that were essentially worth nothing. But yeah, if we were to go back in time in 1995, he would be basically rich.
You could've offered the last guy 5 dollars or something to get each of the old coins and bills. That'd be a nice collection for 5 dollars.
Agreed I'd been like "heres $20 thank you"

It’s happening in the USA too, Biden is bankrupting the country
It’s the government that’s causing all the problems.
Dictatorship is the name
whos gonna talk about palestine??
You'd be pretty stoked as a business owner if you could offload boatloads of your rapidly devaluing cash to a foreigner willing to give you USD.
Their money is very beautiful though, I love the colors and designs. I saw an Etsy store that was selling baskets woven from bolivar bills.
“It cost more money to make the money than the actual cost of the money”
That’s insane!
Hey Drew, loved the video. I love travel and economics and mathematics etc and it really showed insight on what’s going on in Venezuela. I’m a future traveller and from the UK and as we can start to travel more I’m going to vlog my first trips abroad after COVID. Keep up the great videos !!!
Please never stop uploading!
i don't plan to!
@Drew Binsky my man 👍😊 @Brenden I love spam lol
My heart goes to people in Venezuela. God bless you. Let's put it this way, may Tibetan god bless you Venezuelans
Walking around with a giant bag like that is a recipe for disaster
Thanks for making this video and explaining to people the very difficult situation that Venezuela is facing with the hyper inflation. Many middle-class families I know lost large parts of their savings they had in the bank due to this issue. Despite adjustment, their income has lost its real value as well. It basically has made hard working people poorer and the weakest had suffer the most. You can only start to imagine the implications of this situation by watching this video
Classic. You got to a bakery and its portuguese owned! Grretings from Portugal!
Dude just walks up to the teller and greets her with *Look my love* bro.

Haha....impossible...if goverment like shittttt
What I was thinking haha been wanting to buy a bunch of them off eBay in case that ever happens
Drew I have been watching you for years but this is the saddest country so far God Bless the people

Então não fui o único que reparou haha
Two thing i would use the camera for is vloging and taking really cool picture of different stuff
Hungary once had a very big hyperinflation, it printed a quintillion bill which was like a dollar
It was in somewhere 1900-1930
Runescape gold farming in a really good job there. I can't imagine having an economy so bad that getting paid in a game currency is worth more than your own.
Worse then an episode of black mirror lol
Thank you so much for bringing attention and showing us this!
I found a 100 bolivar bill on the ground in Canada once and the brown 100 really excited me until I realized it was worthless lol
Simply the best doc Services Dios te bendiga Amigo Trust Verdadero
Wow, that's really sad for a country can go through that. Count your blessings
What's happening in Venezuela is really heartbreaking 💔🇻🇪
Imagine us Venezuelans
