sucre

If I tell you that you need to go to Sucre for a meeting, do you know where that is?

For example, when I was an exchange student in Ecuador long ago, the Ecuadorian sucre was not seen as a good store of value.

> Juan Mariscal Sucre Actually he was called Antonio José, not Juan, and the capital of Bolivia is indeed named after him.

I would probably guess Ecuador on a hunch but that's probably wrong as their former currency was the Sucre and it would be funny to have a city named the same.

Selon les dernières estimations effectuées en décembre 2020 par la London School of Economics pour le compte de l’Union européenne, l’accord pourrait faire baisser jusqu’à 1,2 % sa production de viande de bœuf et de mouton, et 1 % celle de sucre.

Without looking it up, I would guess a city named after Juan Mariscal Sucre (or is it the other way around?) must be in either Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, or Bolivia.

I know the Ecuadorian sucre went from something like 500 to the dollar to 25,000 at the end, so it would seem that the cost-to-get-out value is small even with traditional currencies; given BTC's theoretically low transaction costs, I presume it would be even smaller.

We crossed from Argentina at La Quiaca/Villazon, then to Tupiza, a jeep tour for a few days finishing at Uyuni, on to Sucre, took Spanish classes there for a week (which was incredibly inexpensive and helped a ton!), then La Paz, Lake Titicaca (Copacabana + Isla del Sol).
