The Venezuelan bolívar has suffered from massive devaluation with an annual inflation of more than 4,000 percent. This inflation has hit the currency so badly that it is now worth 7 times less than the in-game currency of the popular MMORPG game World of Warcraft (WoW).

WoW gold is the in-game money players spend on the auction house and various other locations. Gold can be earned in the game, or purchased indirectly using WoW Tokens, which are a recent addition to the WoW ecosystem. Players are able to purchase tokens for real money in the in-game shop ($20/token) and sell them on the auction house for gold. Tokens can also be spent on additional subscription time and rewards in various Blizzard (ATVI) games.

Currently, 1 dollar (USD) is equal to about 69,910 Venezuelan bolívar whereas the WoW gold/WoW Token exchange rate is roughly 205,407. That works out to about 10,152 gold per dollar, suggesting World of Warcraft gold is 7 times more valuable than the bolívar.

The bolívar vs gold comparison is quickly becoming a sort of indicator of the Venezuelan economy. Just last summer, people noted that the gaming token had just surpassed the currency of a country with a population of over 31 million.

Earlier this year, Venezuelan president Madura created a state cryptocurrency called the Petro in an attempt to save his country’s economy, where the IMF predicts inflation will reach 13,000 percent this year. Despite Madura claiming that the initial currency sale raised $735 million, observers have challenged whether any money actually changed hands, and others have questioned if the Petro is even a cryptocurrency.
