This article suffers from a lot of Americentrism. The structure needs to be revised, and the opinions stated in the cited articles should all be placed under an "opinions", "responses", or "criticisms" section. When there are that many quotation marks inside the bulk of an article, it undermines Wikipedia's legitimacy and commitment to neutrality.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.175.86.30 ( talk)

Is it even possible have a exchange rate of USD/PTR, EUR/PTR, BTC/PTR, ETH/PTR, JPY/PTR, LTE/PTR, GBP/PTR, etc? Ryan ( talk) 18:55, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
Can we find a source to indicate that the official name is lowercase? Eye snore 21:24, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
Weiss Ratings calls the petro a " fiat currency" while others state that it is not even a cryptocurrency since it is centralized by a government.---- ZiaLater ( talk) 11:14, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
It is a valid question. A cryptocurrency functions through blockchain ledgers, but the detail which makes it murky is that this currency seems to have a semi-centralized system of servers processing the blockchain ledgers, rather than a distributed one. This currency has half the characteristics of a cryptocurrency, namely that it operates based on digital blockchains. To choose whether or not to define this as a cryptocurrency is perhaps an academic question? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.175.86.30 ( talk) 09:24, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
The government says it's backed by oil, but this isn't actually true. They just say they value it at a barrel of oil, but it's not _actually_ backed by oil, it's not a token of a venezuelan oil barrel, they just imply it is. It's entirely fiat.

I don't know what the IP meant, but I know there are reasons to believe that the Petro is actually based on unexploitable oil reserves: Reuters August 30, 2018.-- ReyHahn ( talk) 07:55, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
The Petrodollar is not the same as the Petro. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.169.91.66 ( talk) 21:23, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
The NYT released a piece on the history of the development of the Petro: The Coder and the Dictator (March 20, 2020). Some of this should probably be included-- MaoGo ( talk) 13:27, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
Spanish Wikipedia calls it a token as it is not related to a blockchain. Does the Petro qualify as a cryptocurrency?-- ReyHahn ( talk) 15:40, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

Petro (cryptocurrency) → Petro (token) – Per the reasons given in the talk page. More accurate and less controversial definition. Said title has been adopted in the Spanish Wikipedia. NoonIcarus ( talk) 10:57, 27 March 2021 (UTC) —Relisting. ~ Aseleste ( t, e | c, l) 11:26, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
The article as of 26 June has major sections on History, Design, and Reception. Nothing wrong with that; those are all important aspects of the thing.
But here we are in mid-2021, three years after introduction of this state-sponsored token, and the article is mostly devoid of anything about the main question. Results? Three years on: "How did it go?" "What is the daily/weekly/monthly circulation of the thing? Is this token actually trading? If so, at what price on global markets? Is the thing getting any use beyond monopooly markets where the government of Venezuela can force? N2e ( talk) 18:17, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
