The price of Bitcoin (BTC) reached a new historical maximum in the last hours, exceeding the USD 122,000. Given this milestone, Mexican businessman Ricardo Salinas Pliego took the opportunity to send a message to his followers.
“Congratulations to those who ignored me when I told them to buy Bitcoin,” wrote In a publication. «If you go down, do not forget to buy much and not sell. Let’s see if this time they pay attention to me, ”he added, making it clear that maintains a positive vision for the currency.
Also, the millionaire, founder of companies such as Elektra, Banco Azteca, TV Azteca and TotalPlay, renewed his criticisms of the traditional financial systemstating that “money controlled by the government is not reliable.” That is why he holds his bullish expectations for Bitcoin as an alternative.
The new record aroused enthusiasm in the ecosystem and gave rise to Salinas, one of the most rich From Latin America, it will reiterate its total support for the creation of Satoshi Nakamoto.
Just two weeks ago, the tycoon made a striking recommendation: «If you have a house, do you think that is your investment? Sell the house and buy bitcoin; Or retain the house, take out a mortgage, buy Bitcoin and then use that bitcoin to cover your spending needs as they arise ».
For Salinas, Bitcoin represents the only effective way to protect from impoverishment caused by inflation and the manipulation of Fíat money by governments. This bases factors such as its fixed offer issued in a decentralized manner and the possibility of self -limiting and transferring without intermediaries.
Among the factors that promote the Bitcoin rise are a high level of institutional adoption, with companies such as Strategy and Metaplanet expanding their reserves, as well as the global economic uncertainty.
As cryptootics reported, Mexico’s businessman revealed last month that It allocates 70% of its BTC investment portfolio. This includes not only the direct possession of the asset, but also participations in mining companies that are quoted in the stock market and in Strategy, the firm led by Michael Saylor.
“The US dollar, which is supposed to be the strongest currency, lost 99% of its value in the last 40 years,” he argued at the time. According to his gaze, “all Fiat coins end in tears for their holders.”
Salinas has been very critical of Fíat money and digital central banks (CBDC), which he has described as “the most diabolical invention in history.” According to him, these instruments represent a form of undercover control by governments.
The enthusiasm for the high BTC prices was also expressed by Michael Saylorfounder of the company with more holdings in La Moneda, Strategy, who ironized the situation highlighting the following in a publication: “Invest down Bitcoin if you hate money.”
Jack Mallers, CEO of Strike, also celebrated the record and warned the community that the true party just begins, while Samson Mow stressed that much of the world still does not understand the magnitude of the race for accumulating this asset.
Likewise, the economist saifesan ammous contributed his vision, highlighting that Bitcoin should not be compared with traditional assets such as actions or bondsbut with cash globally. The author estimates that these assets will continue to lose value against BTC.
Even with the generalized enthusiasm of great actors in the ecosystem, it is worth remembering that Bitcoin remains a volatile asset whose price, like any other, depends on supply and demand.
In this sense, beyond the optimistic statements and recommendations of figures such as Salinas and Saylor, it is prudent for each person to carefully evaluate their exhibition and do their own investigation before operating, without being dragged by the euphoria of the moment.
