‘World of Warcraft' video game currency now worth more than Venezuelan money
2017-08-01


[TheBlaze] Digital gold from Blizzard’s massive multiplayer online game "World of Warcraft" is worth more than actual Venezuelan currency, the bolivar, according to new data.

According to the site dolartoday.com, which actively tracks the worth of the bolivar on the black market, the bolivar has dropped to 11,185.95 per dollar since KalebPrime posted .

Meanwhile, according to mmobux.com, which tracks the value of WoW’s in-game currency for sales outside of the game, the lowest sale of 10,000 gold in a real life exchange will get you $1.21.

This drop in the worth of the bolivar is stark compared to its worth just a few months ago. In May, 279 bolivars would net $1, according to CNN Money. In June, the worth dropped to 408 bolivars for every dollar.

#5  'Gold' from WoW is valuable to someone, somewhere.
Someone wants it.
Venezuelan money basically isn't.
No one wants it.
It's called Economics.
