THE LORE π
The Birth of a "Revolutionary" Scam
Maduro announces the Petro - a cryptocurrency "backed" by oil. Experts worldwide collectively raise an eyebrow. The Washington Post calls it "the most obviously horrible investment ever." Spoiler: they were right.
Amateur Hour Launch
The Petro launches with a white paper that changes daily, plagiarized code from Dash, and a website that doesn't exist. They claim to raise $3.3 billion. No audits. Trust me bro.
Trump Bans It (First Time)
Executive order drops. Americans can't touch the Petro. The crypto "backed" by oil fields with small, old, abandoned rigs somehow loses credibility. Shocking.
Petro Dies
After years of being called a scam by literally everyone, Venezuela quietly shuts down the Petro and liquidates holdings. The "world's first state-backed cryptocurrency" becomes the world's most predictable failure.
They Upgraded The Dollar
World Liberty Financial launches USD1 - a stablecoin backed by U.S. treasuries. Trump's crypto venture hits $3 billion market cap. The dollar got an upgrade. But wait... what about the oil?
FREEDOMβ’ ARRIVES
U.S. military captures Maduro. Trump announces America will "run" Venezuela. Oil companies are moving in. The 303 billion barrels of oil reserves just got a new flag. $PTR rises from the ashes - this time with ACTUAL American backing.*
We Upgraded The Oil
They upgraded the dollar. We upgraded the oil. $PTR on USD1 - the satirical rebirth of the world's worst cryptocurrency, now powered by memes, irony, and World Liberty Financial. Not financial advice. Definitely comedy. Probably history.
