Mexico's Third Richest Billionaire's Advice: Invest in Bitcoin, Stay Away From Dollars, Euros

Mexico’s third-richest billionaire has advised people to stay away from fiat currencies, like the dollar and euro, and invest in bitcoin. Calling fiat “fake money made of paper and lies,” he stressed that “central banks are printing more money than ever before.”

Ricardo Salinas Pliego Recommends Investing in Bitcoin, Says Avoid Fiat Money

Mexico’s third-richest billionaire, Ricardo Salinas Pliego, gave some advice Friday in a video he posted on Twitter to wish his followers happy holidays. Salinas is the founder and chairman of Grupo Salinas, a group of companies with interests in telecommunications, media, financial services, and retail stores. According to Forbes’ list of billionaires, his net worth is currently $13 billion.

One of the three pieces of advice he gave concerns bitcoin and central banks. The billionaire said:

Stay away from fiat money. The dollar, the euro, the yen, or the peso — they are all the same story. It’s fake money made of paper and lies. The central banks are printing more money than ever before. Invest in bitcoin.

This was not the first time Salinas has advised people to buy bitcoin. In November, the billionaire tweeted “Buy bitcoin right now” citing that the U.S. is “looking more and more like any other irresponsible third world country.” He also posted a chart showing what he described as “the scale of fake money creation.”

In June, he announced plans for his bank to accept BTC. “I recommend the use of bitcoin, and me and my bank are working to be the first bank in Mexico to accept bitcoin,” he tweeted. He also believes that “Bitcoin is the new gold,” noting that it is “much more portable.”

In December, Salinas announced that his retail chain, Grupo Elektra, a leading retailer in Latin America, has started accepting bitcoin.

Square’s value could 5X thanks to Afterpay deal: Pomp

“Maybe you don't simply get a 20X the value of the business, but could you two, three, four or five X the business? Absolutely,” said Anthony Pompliano. Morgan Creek Digital co-founder and Bitcoin proponent Anthony Pompliano thinks Square’s value could increase to $1 trillion following the firm’s acquisition of Afterpay. Square, headed up by CEO Jack Dorsey, this week announced its acquisition of the Australian buy now pay later (BNPL) business for $29 billion on the same day it reported $2.7B in Q2 revenue from Bitcoin sales on its Cash App. Pomp analysed the move on his “Best Business” show on Aug. 4, which was posted on YouTube under the rather clickbaity heading “Square is going to be worth $1 trillion dollars.” In the video itself he was much more conservative in his estimates.
