The third-richest person in Mexico, Ricardo Salinas Pliego, sent a message of a two-minute video on his official Twitter account to the enthusiasts of BTC (Bitcoin) on this Christman eve recommending that they should not be jealous of the primary crypto and purchase it. He recommends three things in the respective message thereof to more than 957,200 followers thereof on Twitter stating that the recipients should share and retweet the message. He stated that people should get rid of fiat currency in their possession such as Yen, Euro, or the Dollar as these are all the same.
In his point of view, these conventional currencies are all the lies that are made of paper being developed on the behalf of the central banks. Before giving further advice, he takes a pause and then speaks that Bitcoin is worthy to invest funds in. While making these statements, he was standing before a Christmas tree of golden color. The two other statements of Salinas focused the attention of the followers thereof towards warding off the jealousy and having faith in the primary cryptocurrency to purchase it confidently. Especially they would have innovation and freedom while investing in Bitcoin, as per him.
Salinas is a well-known proponent of Bitcoin since 2013 and the Twitter bio thereof presents him to be a Mexican business along with being a holder of Bitcoin. The target of Salinas is to take the second-biggest bank of Mexico ‘Banco Azteca’ to a place of being the most prominent lender across the country doing business in Bitcoin.

While answering the questions relating to the strategies thereof, the central bank of Mexico stated that Bitcoin, as well as the other similar cryptocurrencies, do not have a status of legal tender thus they are restricted from being utilized in the financial system of the country.
This September, Alejandro Dĺaz de – the Bank of Mexico’s governor – announced that Bitcoin was not trustworthy to be declared as a legal tender, referring to the price volatility thereof being the major hindrance in the full-fledged adoption thereof. In an interview, Salinas asserted that his initial purchase of Bitcoin was made at a point when the price of Bitcoin was at $500 and that purchase was the best one till his purchases of 2018.
